The Art of Blending Wood Furniture
A home with a curated look combines designer style with a personal feel. One element often seen in homes that have intentionally curated style is blended furniture. These homes
use pieces that vary in color, style and tone and yet coexist beautifully for a cohesive look. While there is an art to blending furniture it’s so much easier than you think. Here are our three top tips for blending furniture like a professional.
Blend similar tones. All the furniture in a space shouldn’t be the same color but it should connect in some way. Choosing pieces that have a similar hue, such as warm brown undertones seen in this space, can give the room interest while making it feel intentional.
Incorporate black. Black furniture, whether painted or stained, has the ability to flow easily with almost any shade or wood tone. Because it’s so neutral and versatile it allows you the possibility to play around with different styles. It’s also a great way to add a high contrast look to a neutral or flat space.
Add an accent piece. Start small with a fun accent piece as an end table. An accent piece should have a different shape, or be constructed from a unique element. The point is to add a piece that breaks up the “sameness” of the other furniture. When you start small it will give you the confidence to make bold choices when decorating your home.
