Gone
are the days of matchy-matchy wood finishes in décor. Today, you’ll find a mix
of wood types and finishes creating a sophisticated look with character and
personality. Think dark walnut paired with light bamboo or painted wood with
wood tones in the same kitchen.

balance of light and dark throughout the room. To give you a few ideas of what
this would look like take a look at the rooms below.
