Mixing Wood Tones

One of the most common questions that we get from customers interested in buying our furniture is "Do you think this table will match my floor/ existing furniture/ walls?" Let's be honest: decorating is hard. Especially when there are so many inspirational blogs out there to "help". There are only so many rooms that you have and only so many styles that can fit into your home. Should you go modern/ antique/ french provincial/ rustic? Oh, the options! After you (finally!) settle on a style, there comes the mission of trying to find the furniture that symbolises your taste, a reflection of your vision, a subtle metaphor of your eccentric, exciting and well-balanced life. Yeah, decorating is no easy feat. Your home has birch hardwood floors, and you've settled on going rustic. Does that mean you now have to scan the whole of Vancouver with a fine-toothed comb to try and find furniture that is light enough to match your floors?! Well, the good news is that you can mix and match wood tones and styles within the same room, and it works. The truth is, you don't want to go too matchy-matchy. Pick wood tones that complement each other, or you could be daring by placing dark and light woods and create stunning contrasts.

Here are some examples:
