I'm oftened asked our thoughts in relation to combining different timber finishes throughout a home when selecting furniture. It's my thought that you are gridlocked by the timber finish that you select say for a dining table, needing to replicate this colour continuously throughout a space. I quite like a combination of timber colours and finishes to work back with one another preventing it from looking too matchy matchy. Of course you need to select these combinations carefully so not to make a patchwork quilt affect so I thought I'd share this image that I found with you that is a wonderful example of how light and dark timbers can co-exist in a space together and still look put together and sophisticated.
