Dark Wood Tones

"Dark wood furniture brings depth to a room in a way paint and fabric can't. Rich brown, espresso and charcoal finishes ground a light space, add warmth to a neutral palette and give a room the feeling that it's been put together over time. You'll find dark wood across every room. In the bedroom, the Sydney Brown-Wash 6-Drawer Mango Wood Dresser, the Toulouse Oak Veneer King Bed and the Fletcher Large Solid Oak Nightstand set a warm, grounded tone. Dining rooms get the Linea Rectangular Cerused Charcoal Dining Table and the Victory Oak Refectory Dining Table, and the Carmel Brown Wash Cane Sideboard and Kelby Vintage Brown Solid Mango Bar Cabinet give you storage with presence. The collection includes pieces from designer brands like Four Hands, Hooker and Bernhardt. The secret to mixing dark wood is contrast. Pair it with light upholstery, linen bedding or a pale rug so the grain stands out, and repeat the tone at least twice in a room so it looks intentional. One dark dresser, one dark frame and a dark-wood lamp base will tie a whole bedroom together."
