Stylish living: Wood colors in interior design

Wooden furniture lends any room an elegant, high-quality atmosphere. Wood brings natural warmth and beauty. Nevertheless, the color of wood can create different moods and room atmospheres. Find out here which color combinations suit which furnishing style and which atmosphere they create.

Light wood colors: airiness & warmth

Light wood colors such as birch, beech, oak, spruce, ash and larch lend the room warmth, comfort and lightness. Combine them with pastel shades to emphasize the lightness and freshness of the wood. A sofa in pastel shades combined with an oak coffee table creates a bright, open atmosphere. Light wood tones are the perfect choice for small rooms, as they make the rooms appear larger. Particularly large pieces of furniture such as wall units or shelves in light wood colors create a relaxed, calm atmosphere. Furniture in light wood colors is also recommended in children's rooms to create a friendly environment. These can be combined with colorful accents such as colorful cushions, blankets, curtains and rugs.
