Solid Hardwood Furniture: How To Blend This Furniture With Your Other Pieces
If you want to buy some solid hardwood furniture to place in your home, know that you're purchasing beautiful and lasting pieces. Also know that solid wood furniture can be large and take over a room easily, being the star over other furniture pieces you also want to shine.
When you buy hardwood furniture for the home, you're incorporating classic beauty with your new and modern pieces. Here are ways you can blend your hardwood pieces with the other pieces in your home.
Incorporate one major piece per room
With the exception of a whole set of solid hardwood furniture, such as a dining room table and chairs set, when you put hardwood pieces in your home, make sure only one large piece goes in each room. The rest of the pieces can be your softer or lighter home items, such as wicker chairs, upholstered couches, or even glass top items. This way, your solid hardwood furniture pieces look great without taking over the space and each furniture item gets to stand out in its own way.
Incorporate lighter pieces or designs
With so many different hardwood finishes and stains to choose from with your pieces, you can take any stark and commanding hardwood piece and make it soft and complementary to the rest of your lighter or more earthy items. Check out home and garden magazines and websites to see what colors and trends are lasting in staining and finishing hardwood and incorporate the trends you like in your pieces.
You can simply paint hardwood legs or replace handles and hardware with bright and modern touches to make your solid hardwood furniture pieces blend well in your modern and contemporary rooms. Speak to a hardwood furnishing specialist or woodworker to see if you can have custom pieces made to your home design needs for an even better-added appeal.
Incorporate consistent decor
Choose a common pattern, theme, or color to use in the decor for all of your furniture pieces, including your solid wood furniture. This way, everything blends well and the contrasting textures and mediums work even better together than they would have otherwise. If you have no matching decor, invest in new pieces to go along with your solid hardwood furniture that can complement the decor you already have. This will make a big difference in the way your hardware pieces look in your home among your other furnishings.
