DARK WOOD

From side tables, consoles and coffee tables to cabinets, dining tables or shelving, furniture in darker timbers is on the rise again. If your home features walls, flooring or furniture in neutral colours, the addition of a dark timber piece will not only add a sense of exoticism to the space, it can create drama, interest and warmth.
