Dark wood furniture has the ability to enhance a room and add warmth to create a cosy, inspiring and relaxing space. There’s a certain elegance that only dark wood furniture can capture thanks to its rich and welcoming tones.

Dark wood pieces work well throughout the house. Whether your home is period, classical, modern or contemporary, this style creates beautiful contrasts and can be dressed up or down depending on your choice of accessories. Here are some impressive ways to make dark-toned furniture look beautiful in your home.

Make a dark furniture statement

Light wood has undeniable popularity, so it’s likely that you’ll already have some neutral pieces in your home. Add a few pieces of dark wood furniture among these lighter pieces to make a bold statement with plenty of wow-factor.

Dark wood bedroom furniture, such as the pieces from the Detroit collection, adds texture to the bedroom, especially when enhanced by soft accent colours and fabrics. Depending on the choice of wall colour and ornaments, chests of drawers and wardrobes in dark wood, among other statement pieces, create a rich and romantic feel.

Alternatively, you can soften the look but still create a cosy, snug style space by incorporating other deep hue colours to the room. Chalky greys and deep muddy blues work particularly well with this style of furniture.

Choose a focal piece or create a nook

Embrace mix and match and choose a piece that will work with other elements in the room. Add a bookcase to an alcove, match a dining table set with complementary chairs or add a sideboard like our Detroit piece to your living or dining room to create an eclectic look and add some much-needed storage space.

Somewhere in the middle

Perhaps you prefer a furniture range which looks a bit more contemporary, choose pieces with sleek silhouettes and minimal detailing. While medium dark woods tend to add textured hues to your home, all dark wood furniture creates a bold statement, producing luxurious contrasts and accentuating any home accessories.
