How to put together various pieces of wooden furniture

We all love wood, but there's a common belief that not all of us are good at combining different pieces of furniture in one room so that we get an arrangement as close as possible to what we want. As far as I am concerned, such a theory does not hold water. Starting with a question I get very often: "How can I combine different pieces of furniture in one room so that, in the end, I like the result?", I decided to help you with a few tips that are very easy for anyone to put into practice. All it takes is a little boldness and a little imagination. The living room will be the space in your home that will support my advice.

Choose a piece of furniture that stands out

Decide to highlight a particular piece of wooden furniture. For example, if you want to give prominence to a dining table, choose to position it in the center of the living room. If your wooden table is a dark shade, you could pair it with some upholstered chairs in lighter tones. In this way, the table will become the centerpiece, and the chairs will be the support that will help it take pride of place in the living room.

Combine different shades

If you've chosen to group a few darker pieces of wooden furniture together in one part of your living room, you could 'mirror' a light brown sofa with two armchairs and a table in similar tones. In the end, you'll end up with a space with lots of wooden furniture in different shades that complement each other well. You may decide to tie the pieces in the room together better with a rectangular rug in a lighter color that covers much of the room.

Harmonize different pieces in similar shades

For a unique, beautiful and functionally efficient arrangement, you can combine two different pieces of furniture, but in similar colors. For example, you could fill a large part of the living room with a sofa bed or a modular corner unit, and add a rectangular table. If you want more length on one side of the sofa or corner, you can add a wooden and glass chest of drawers. But make sure the color of the wooden frame of the chest of drawers matches the color of the side of the sofa or corner. You can tie everything together with a narrow, rectangular rug, or let the parquet floor serve as a base for the whole arrangement.
