Wenge
Such a surface can be blue-black, with a purple tint, chocolate with golden veins, or burgundy. Living wood has a richer palette than laminated material, but costs more. Wenge, like walnut, dominates the interior due to its richness. Therefore, the main background should be neutral or with small bright splashes.

Interior design rules
If you decide to decorate the interior yourself, including various wooden coverings, you need to adhere to the basic rules:
- Three shades. Excessive use of wood in decoration can lead to negative consequences. It is better not to combine more than three wood tones in one room, otherwise the decor will lose its harmony. The combination of mismatched sets and products with completely incompatible textures looks especially unattractive.
- Accents. Materials of contrasting shades can look good in one interior. Also attractive will be a modest setting, diluted with “wood accents” - unusual parquet, ceiling beams, panels, non-standard furniture.
- Single range. No less delicate and stylish in appearance is the room, in which several components are decorated in similar shades of natural wood. This design is neutral in perception and does not have a negative impact on mood. However, all colors should be independent, and not differ by just half a tone.
- Lighting. The quality and quantity of light in a room is of direct importance for the correct assessment of a particular shade. If the room is located on the north side and there is little natural light in it, you should abandon non-contrast combinations. The transition between similar shades will be simply unnoticeable. Warm wood tones look more interesting with yellowish lamps.
Why you should focus on this material: main qualities
Oak has a high density (700 kg per m3), so it is less prone to cracking over time and warping when drying. When deciding to furnish a room with products made from this wood, it is worth considering its advantages:
- strength and durability (rated 3.9 Brinell units), the piece of furniture will last for several decades;
- cleanliness, the wooden surface repels dirt, dust is hardly noticeable against a light background;
- environmental friendliness, wood does not emit toxins, and no harmful substances are used during bleaching;
- breathability, coatings made from it allow air to pass through well, which prevents mold from appearing;
- thermoregulation, natural wood maintains a comfortable temperature in the room, so the room is warm in winter and not hot in summer.
In addition, the material does not rot, increasing the life of furniture, flooring or panels. And after impregnation with a special composition during manufacturing, it has antiseptic properties: pathogenic bacteria do not multiply on the surface.
Overview of natural wood colors
So, all shades of natural wood can be divided into three large groups: dark, light and neutral. This makes it easier to select and understand the topic as a whole.
Dark wood is good when creating an interior in a classic style. This group includes such shades.
- Nut. Color from gray-green to brown with a reddish undertone. It is the latter that is very popular. The color is rich and deep.
- Wenge. Black with blue stripes or dark brown tint. It looks expensive and laconic, which is what won its fans.
- Red tree. The name speaks for itself. With high-quality polishing, it feels like lights are jumping across the surface.
- Ebony. African ebony is exactly this color, texture with veins. Characterized by the presence of a matte sheen.
Light wood colors are used very often for furniture. Typically used for hull structures. Shades allow you to visually enlarge the room. This is the technique that designers use.
Light colors of natural wood.
Birch. There is a slight yellow tint, and the structure itself resembles marble.
- Light ash. Creamy shade, somewhat reminiscent of coffee with a lot of milk.
- Pine. The color is rich, golden.
- Light beech. The shade is beige, diluted with pink splashes.
Neutral wood is used if the furniture is not the most important figure in the interior. A good solution to not overload the space. Also, such inserts on upholstered furniture allow you not to distract attention from textiles.
Popular neutral shades of natural wood.
- Cherry. It has a rich shade that combines red and brown.
- Alder. The color is reddish or red, the texture is extremely weak.
- Oak. May have a golden hue in its natural form. However, sometimes bleached oak is used.
Chipboard color palette
Canvases are used for various purposes and are decorated using decorative film. Therefore, there are no restrictions here; the color and pattern can be absolutely anything. Quite often, manufacturers resort to imitation of the surface of natural wood.
In this case, colors can be light and dark, warm and cold.
Such a variety of colors allows you to combine chipboard with natural wood. This is quite convenient if there is a need to save part of the budget. The slabs are much cheaper, but high-quality models are difficult to distinguish from natural wood.
Usually wenge, oak and light pine are purchased.
Nuances of choice
The lucky owners of spacious and bright rooms can use any colors from the palette of natural wood or slabs. If the room is less than 17 m², then you should consider the choice more carefully. Here you need to use more light shades to expand the space. In general, it is recommended to decorate small rooms with soft, pastel colors.
So, against the background of light walls, an ash cabinet will be almost invisible, regardless of size.
Light colors are easy to work with. The room can be “revived” with the help of bright decorative elements. If you use any other colors as a base, you will have to act with the utmost caution.
To create a strict interior, cold tones are used. However, warm ones are more relevant if little natural light enters the room.
The entire interior of the room can be divided into two parts. One will include the floor, ceiling and walls - this is like the basis. But furniture and decorations are secondary elements. The background and furniture should be combined in color and style.
Rules for balancing shades.
If the main elements are decorated neutrally, then the furniture should be as massive and catchy as possible. The same rule applies in the opposite direction.
In order not to overload the interior, you should choose simple textures. Complex patterns are only relevant in large rooms with high ceilings. If you really want to, then you can arrange only one thing in this way.
There should be no more than 40% dark wood in the room. The rest of the space should be left light. Otherwise, the interior of a small room will become gloomy and too gloomy.
Beech, milky oak and birch look equally good on light and dark backgrounds. A few coffee, blue or red shades in this composition will add coziness. Gray works well when arranging a cold room with a strict design.
Neutral wood tones pair well with both bright and pastel backgrounds.
Recommendations for color combinations:
- White. It goes with everything and is universal. Usually bleached oak is a rather noble wood with a pronounced texture.
- Black. In the classic version it is combined with contrasting white. To create a softer jump, you can use a gray, blue or beige background. In some cases, black walls and the same furniture are combined. However, you should definitely refresh the interior with light textiles.
You should not combine black wood with colorful patterns on the walls and flooring.
- Wenge. Noble shade. Combines with turquoise, peach, cream, vanilla and orange backgrounds. If the wood has a purple tint, then it can be successfully combined with pink. Also, such furniture looks great together with olive or green wallpaper.
- Nut. In the classic version, it is combined with a sand and white background. If the furniture has a warm undertone, then you can use brown, red, yellow and blue, dark green and burgundy. Cold wood looks better in combination with blue and light green.
- Red tree. Designers often use such furniture to create a warm and cozy interior. Usually combined with pastel and warm colors. The combination with purple and green looks original and bold. Mahogany on a brown background looks good, but add a little beige to freshen up the interior.
- Grey. The background should be yellow or green, and it is better to use light shades. This type of furniture looks good in combination with red, white, purple and blue.
When choosing a color, you should also take into account the features of the interior. Thus, dark wood is relevant for classic styles. In modern interiors, light-colored furniture is often used.
Neutral shades are relevant when decorating in Provence, country and similar styles. The main thing is that everything looks harmonious and the space is not overloaded.
Intermediate tones
Neutral shades of furniture can be a wonderful addition to the interior and a background for brighter accents. The catalogs of furniture companies present the following neutral tones:
- Cherry. It has a rich reddish-brown color, so it looks a bit like mahogany. Natural cherry wood is much cheaper than mahogany, but the products made from it are no less high-quality.
- Alder. It is also similar to mahogany, has a weakly expressed texture, reddish and reddish shades.
- Oak. Has a luxurious structure. Furniture made from both bleached and golden oak looks good in the interior.
Furniture in neutral colors does not attract much attention, but looks aristocratic.
Purchasing wooden furniture is an environmentally friendly and modern option for home improvement. But if products made from expensive solid wood are beyond your means, then you can replace them with furniture made from laminated chipboard. The main thing is that the shade of the laminate for furniture is identical to the natural colors of the wood. Furniture in natural wood color looks very cozy. It serves as a demonstration of the refined taste of the owners of the house.
Combination with stone and brick
Combination with different materials in the interior: glass, stone, plastic, gives a different end result, but what remains the same is that wood is a universal and popular finish.
Stone and wood in the interior as two natural materials complement each other. Warm and soft wood with strong stone are indispensable for creating eco, Provence and country style. Pebble mosaics and plank floors, decorative stone fragments, parquet boards and beams combine perfectly and are suitable for any interior.
Brick and wood in the interior or imitation brickwork is suitable for the corridor, living room, stairs.
Brick can be bleached, aged, plain or of different sizes; such variations create a different image of the room. The use of wood in an interior with brick is necessary to create an unusual design for a country house: wooden frames and doors, stairs, partitions and redwood floors in combination with antique chests of drawers.
Tips for choosing
When choosing birch furniture, you need to consider the following parameters:
- Method of fastening parts. To reduce the cost of the product, manufacturers save money by using metal brackets, which rust over time.
- Sanding quality. If you look at the product from different angles, you can see grainy places and small spots, which indicates poor processing of the wood.
- Polishing quality. During this process, the furniture is made completely smooth. Ideally, there should be no bubbles or dust particles on it, which can be verified by running your hand over the surface.
Natural wood can always be distinguished from a fake by a number of characteristics. When choosing, you should always pay attention to the uniformity of the pattern. Real wood never has a perfectly flat surface. You can inspect the ends - the fake ones are sharp.
Birch is an excellent material for making furniture. However, it will not be to the liking of lovers of dark tones. Still, birch is predominantly a light wood; products made from it should be located in a room that is appropriate in terms of lighting and design.

Wood in the kitchen interior
- In the interior of the kitchen it is appropriate in the form of furniture, an accent wall in the dining area.
- It is better to choose tiles or linoleum as a floor covering.
- Wooden dishes will create coziness and are suitable for Provence, country, and rustic styles.
- Light ergonomic furniture, glossy surfaces and mirror inserts are suitable for a small room.
- A beamed ceiling is suitable for creating a rustic style.
- Deep dark shades are appropriate in a kitchen with a large window and wide space.
Furniture in neutral, natural colors is combined with bright colors on the countertop, refrigerator, etc. For example, the color combination of wood and greenery looks natural and appropriate in a kitchen of any size.
About choosing a color for the floor
To finish the floor in bleached oak color, you can use:
- natural parquet;
- laminate;
- porcelain tiles.
Thanks to the use of a floor in the color of bleached oak, not only does the space of the room visually expand, but also a certain naturalness is introduced into the design (due to the presence of a wood pattern on the surface of the coating).
This floor looks especially advantageous in rooms decorated in Scandinavian style, as well as in country and Provence styles. Also organically combined with a bleached oak color coating is a modern minimalist interior.
Wood-look porcelain tiles look very impressive on the walls or floors of the bathroom and kitchen. If you plan to use bleached oak flooring to decorate a room with a large area, it is recommended to give preference to a contrasting baseboard, including a completely painted one, without a wood pattern.
The combination with bleached oak in many shades of classic gray looks great. If you still choose a plinth with an aged wood pattern, it is better to go with a darker option, but the level of color warmth should be the same as the floor. The pattern and color of the plinth must certainly match the color and pattern of the door - this will add harmony and completeness to the atmosphere of the room.
Using a bleached oak floor allows you to freely choose the tone of the wallpaper. The most comfortable, according to experts, is its combination with wall coverings in natural shades: white, brown, beige. Pistachio, mustard, green, blue, gray, blue colors look great. In rooms with a large area, you can use a combination of light flooring and dark shades of wallpaper.
Living room decoration
Wood in the living room interior always looks very impressive and is appropriate in almost any design. If this is a Scandinavian style, then the use of light woods emphasizes the connection with nature; wooden furniture in pastel shades is suitable for Provence. Small and simple wooden details are appropriate in minimalism and hi-tech.
Stumps and large saw cuts in the interior of the living room can play the role of a coffee table and become the main focus of attention of guests. You can make an accent wall near the TV from saw cuts and pebbles; from processed sticks and branches you can make a cornice, lamp and other accessories.
Shelves and racks
Shelves and cabinets made from such wood create a harmonious home interior and give the room a special style.

Using wood in the bedroom
For the bedroom, it is better to choose light-colored wood and cover it with matte varnish to emphasize the naturalness of the wood.
You can choose paint and highlight the texture, or apply it in 3 layers and cover the natural color. It is better to give preference to natural shades of beige, pistachio, mustard, and wood. But if the wood species is dark, then there is no need to paint it in light colors.
You can cover all or just one wall, floor and ceiling with wood. How much wood there can be within a bedroom depends on the size of the room and the requirements of its style.
Central lighting is acceptable, but it is better to diffuse it using several light sources. Cloth, linen, calico and knitted blankets go well with wood in the interior of the house.
Color technology
According to experts, oak is a very durable material that is not subject to rotting, repels dirt and dust, and is therefore considered durable. To obtain the color of bleached oak (what color it is, you can get a fairly clear idea from the photo in the article), the wood is treated with a special pigment that can change the color of the fibers. Then the material is primed and coated with a layer of varnish. The result is a noble matte shade with a pronounced texture. The modern market presents, in addition to natural solid wood of white oak color, materials coated with a layer that imitates its texture and shades - eco-veneer, laminate boards, laminated chipboards and MDF boards, which contain cheaper wood, while the quality is not inferior to natural oak .
Tree in the nursery
This material in the interior of a nursery is most appropriate from an environmental point of view. It is advisable to use wood both for decoration and decoration. If the walls do not necessarily have to be wooden, then the floor and furniture simply need to be selected from wood materials.
A light laminate floor will be decorated with a homemade drawn carpet; to develop the child’s mobility, you can hang a hammock and a rope ladder.
For an unusual look, you can use branches in the interior to create small compositions, an organizer for jewelry, photos and notes; they can also be used to decorate wall shelves.
Light colors, delicate textiles, bright toys and dark floors are suitable for decorating a nursery for both girls and boys.
Pros and cons of furniture
Before purchasing a piece of furniture made from solid wood, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the properties of wood in order to know whether furniture made from this raw material is suitable in a particular case. Advantages of birch:
- The wood has a predominantly yellowish tint. During processing, it may turn slightly golden, which makes it more valuable. The structure is similar in appearance to marble, which gives things a special decorative effect.
- In terms of strength, birch is comparable to beech. The properties of these materials are very similar, they differ only in cost.
- Safe for allergy sufferers. That is why cribs and other furniture for children are made from it.
- Does not harm the environment and does not emit odors.
- It can easily absorb varnish coatings, stick well, bend when steamed - all these qualities are valuable in the production of the most exquisite interior items.
Design and style of plywood furniture, production technology
Despite the large number of advantages, birch furniture has certain disadvantages:
- This tree is very afraid of moisture. If the raw material is not properly dried, it will begin to mold and rot, so it is better not to make a bathroom from untreated solid birch. This drawback is eliminated by thoroughly impregnating the raw materials with special water-repellent agents.
- The material is difficult to plan and profile. The fleecy surface is suitable for grinding only with special expensive equipment.

Bathroom decoration
Wood in the bathroom interior creates the feeling of a sauna or Russian bath. Wooden walls and stone floors, or vice versa, create a unique design. To finish the bathroom, you need to select moisture-resistant species (Brazil walnut or bamboo, as in the photo below).
For a bathroom in an apartment, you can use wood-look tiles, wooden accessories and inserts.
Combining furniture colors
Variegated upholstery of a sofa or cabinet furniture, different in color and design, are acceptable in creating some modern interiors.
Loft, eclectic, shabby chic, country and other styles in their design are based on a mixture of shades. Diversity and versatility are welcomed here, and the most daring color combinations are acceptable.
However, it is important not to overdo it:
- Too much colorful furniture will have a negative effect.
- The situation will become chaotic, reminiscent of a mess. It will be uncomfortable to be in such a room.
Interior design
Wood in the interior is the easiest and most practical way to create an original design. There are main types of design: classic, elegant, modern, high-tech.
If the classic consists of a large number of wooden products, then high-tech is more universal.
Classic design
Classic style presupposes rigor, a minimum of decor, and natural shades. Lots of white is a timeless classic. The classic look also includes mahogany trim. If white color gives lightness, then red gives sophistication and shine. The style does not imply a large number of decorations and frilly products.
When decorating a classic bathroom, remember that this room is wet.
The best material for finishing walls, floors and furniture is MDF board with water-repellent impregnation and a uniform texture, as well as wood-look wallpaper. A wooden partition will look good. Stone as a wall decoration will also be an advantageous option.
Wall decoration for a classic kitchen can be done with wooden wallpaper with a smooth texture; saw cuts, metal products as decorations, aprons made of small or large stones, a wall made of tiles imitating brick can be used as decoration.
For small kitchens, it is better to use light-colored wood, such as oak, as well as furniture with glass inserts. The best color is white.
For the classic interior of a living room, children's room, hallway, bedroom, products made from natural wood, preferably oak, are best suited. The living room has parquet floors and a beamed ceiling that goes well with a forged metal chandelier; walls covered with natural wooden wallpaper, simple furniture - all elements are made in shades of the same color. Well-thought-out details: a fireplace lined with natural stone and brick, picture frames and windows.
The hallway goes very well with white details. Decor made from sawn wood will look beautiful when creating an interior in a classic style for rooms.
Sleek design
The design assumes the presence of sophisticated decorative products. Very stylish aged wood in light or dark shades. Only natural materials, such as oak, are used in finishing.
In the bathroom, aged wood on the floors, walls, and furniture will look luxurious. As decoration there are gilded handles and taps, wooden figurines, and forged metal lamps.
A beautiful kitchen interior will be created by beams - ceiling beams made of light wood. Parquet floor with beautiful texture. Chests of drawers and cabinets, antique or made to look like old wood with carved handles and legs, including metal ones, will look elegant in the children's room and bedroom. In the nursery it is better to use light wood.
The living room and hallway can be finished in dark oak or mahogany.
In the living room it is better to use empire style mirrors, candlesticks, and figurines. Coffered ceilings will complement the interior. The walls in the rooms do not need to be covered with wood. The elegant style is characterized by arches as doorways and window frames.
An elegant style is also appropriate in a country house. A design made in white will add lightness to the interior of the rooms and expand the space. The ideal setting is a fireplace that combines masonry made of natural or artificial stone or brick.
Art Nouveau style
The Art Nouveau style is characterized by smooth transitions, asymmetrical lines, and soft decor. The interior is most similar to the style of the early 20th century. Materials for manufacturing should be used from softwood. Pastel colors or just white will look more advantageous.
Parquet floors in the living room, bedroom, nursery, kitchen and bathroom should not have clear geometric patterns.
The “old” floor will look great in the kitchen, living room and hallway. In a children's room, the interior in the Art Nouveau style will benefit from a ceiling with floral patterns. Panels made from saw cuts of various types of wood work well as decorations in the living room. Stonework in the bathroom will create the feeling of an old, medieval home.
For a country house, you can choose accessories and products from good, valuable wood with an ideal texture.
A coffee table with carved legs and a glass tabletop, a fireplace decorated with artificial brick, a section of a wall or an entire wall can look great in stone, sawn partitions painted in natural colors are an excellent combination for a living room. The combination of three elements - fire, water and stone - is a brilliant option for a house outside the city.
High-tech style
High-tech is a style in which there is nothing superfluous, all details, decorations and accessories are thought out to the smallest detail. High-tech design involves a combination of wood, glass and stone in one interior. Especially if there is a lot of glass and stone, also brick. The tree comes more as an auxiliary element. The color is cold.
High-tech tile floors in the bathroom, combined with stone walls.
The use of wooden products in the design of a children's room will dilute the coldness of the high-tech style. The floor and walls for a high-tech kitchen without a pronounced wooden texture; it is best to use regular wallpaper or with a blurred wood pattern. A high-tech style bedroom involves an interior using partitions, wardrobes with glass inserts.
The high-tech decoration of the living room and hallway will be a laminate floor or cool-colored tiles, metal accessories, and walls lined with stone or brick.
Features and color characteristics
The color of oak wood is light straw, light brown or yellow as the tree matures and becomes darker. Different processing methods make it possible to obtain a rich palette of warm and cold shades with varying degrees of saturation. There are species with natural dark, almost black wood. Oak can always be recognized by its well-drawn characteristic pattern.
Oak colors and shades
The range of shades is surprisingly wide. There are many options in the palette. From bleached wood, light - gray, golden, beige to dark brown - wenge and completely black. Thanks to the possibilities of modern wood processing methods, it is possible to create even more diverse shades and textures.
Whitened or bleached oak
Natural white wood is found only in young representatives of the species. But such trees are not used in production, and over time their wood darkens. And even from real White Oak it is impossible to make a product marketed under the name “white oak”. The wood of this tree is somewhat darker. Where does the huge range of products come from in ash white, pearl, snow white, vanilla, cream, silver white or ivory?
In order for the material to receive an elegant white shade, it needs to undergo a bleaching procedure with various chemical solutions. After processing, the wood is impregnated with oil, and varnish is applied on top. This technology allows us to obtain the so-called “bleached oak”. Various bleaching methods using different types of oak make it possible to obtain shades such as milky, milky, bleached oak, Atlanta oak, etc.
Golden oak
Natural oak wood has a light straw color. This color is closest to a golden hue. If you lightly tint the wood or coat it with a special varnish, you can get a thick or light shade of gold.
Also, golden notes are present in the color of oak called Rustic. This type of treatment allows you to age the surface of the wood. The natural surface relief is increased artificially, and the protruding ridges are painted a darker color. In a natural environment, a similar effect is obtained from prolonged exposure to sun, water and wind. The combination of honey and caramel shades with the color of burnt sugar looks very impressive, although it does not always give a golden color.
There are also shades of gold in sedan oak, which is obtained through special processing.
Dark oak
The dark color of oak can be natural or artificially obtained.
Under natural conditions, the dark, rich color of the wood is characteristic of special oak species. For example, for a variety called “Cognac”, which grows in European countries, not excluding the British Isles.
Wood may darken from being in water for a long time. Oak that has lain in water for centuries is considered the most valuable and is called “stained.”
Today, a similar effect can be achieved using ordinary stain or thermal treatment, which, among other things, improves such characteristics of wood as:
- strength;
- hardness;
- durability;
- appearance.
Black oak
One of the most valuable types of black oak is considered to be stained wood, which has spent approximately 1000 years under water. The material “seasoned” in this way changes its properties and turns into a durable, heavy-duty product, close in strength and hardness to iron.
The artificial staining process also produces black and smoky shades. That is why parquet and laminate flooring in black and gray tones are so popular, capable of introducing notes of centuries-old luxury and stylish touches of technological modernity into the interior.
Black wood is also found in nature. For example, Wenge oak, found in the jungles of West Africa, has a dark chocolate color that looks almost black due to its darker veins.
In the presented video you can get acquainted with the variety of materials with shades of oak.
Decor made of wooden elements
Due to their strength and unusual beauty, wooden ends have long been popular among craftsmen. Each layer stores history, mood and nature. In addition to all this, material for the ends surrounds us everywhere; crooked branches, thickenings on tree trunks, cracks, knots, etc. become especially interesting. You just have to give free rein to your imagination and emotions.
Decorative lamps, vases, hangers, tables made of wood elements are very relevant today. They, in combination with modern design solutions, are able to fill the atmosphere of the home with comfort, luxury and warmth at the same time.
Dead stumps, branches, trunks and roots in the hands of an artist can become a masterpiece that will decorate the interior, filling it with natural simplicity and harmony.
Light shades
With their help, even a small, narrow room with small windows is filled with light and seems more spacious. Designers recommend furnishing the bedroom, kitchen, classic and minimalist interiors in pastel colors.
Chipboard with gray, cold beige, pearl, snow-white lamination is a godsend for high-tech style. Especially if the facades made of this material are supplemented with chrome fittings. Furniture with such a palette: milky, beige, creamy, yellow - emphasizes the homeliness, romance and vintage style of Provence, shabby chic, Scandinavian. Let's list the six most popular titles.
Karelian birch
The furniture is a delicate golden color with darker inclusions in the form of smooth lines and knots. Sometimes the design is associated with marble.
Light ash
A creamy grey-beige shade with a smooth texture. In some variations it resembles coffee with milk. Laminate flooring of this color is often installed in apartments.
Acacia
This is the name of grey, yellowish or greenish wood and chipboard material. Dark veins stand out on the surface.
Pine
White-pink or amber texture with brown streaks.
Light beech
Beige-pink surface with beautiful veins.
Milk oak
Surface with matte beige or pearl color and unique wood grain.
In addition to the listed shades, there are alder - a soft pink tone with a silky sheen, apple tree, tansau maple, spruce and pear.
Wooden furniture in the interior
Wood, like no other artificial material, fills a home with genuine natural energy. When you touch it, you feel the warmth, and when you look at the annual rings, you go back in time.
Therefore, it does not seem at all strange that such a passion for furniture made of wood, solid, archaic, antique - it all depends on the capabilities and preferences of the customer. Leading designers around the world prefer furniture that was cut from solid tree trunks, with obvious cracks and knots.
Often, objects that already resemble peasant furniture become discolored and take on a dilapidated appearance.
Tonino Guerra, a famous screenwriter and poet, was famous for another talent - he created furniture from his own sketches. But the main materials for its manufacture were old boards, door hinges and locks found in their native medieval town.
Then the created elements were assembled piece by piece into pieces of furniture or decorative compositions.
When creating rough furniture, designers set themselves the goal of showing its originality and history. For example, they use the stumps of old trees, remove the bark from them and create unusual interior items. And in combination with leather furniture and some attributes they create an unsurpassed effect.
Varieties of wenge colors
The original color of wenge wood is dark brown, so much so that it is close to black. However, the color called “wenge” has its own color division.
Therefore, in the manufacture of furniture and wenge paint, the following tone gradation is used:
- CAVO - warm shade of black-chocolate;
- ARUBA - dark brown color with dark burgundy tints;
- MAGIC - dark brown matte color;
- LINUM - the lightest shade of wenge with the introduction of yellowish, very thin veins to imitate sawing;
- MELINGA - dark brown with silver flecks that make this color cool.
Who prefers to use wood in the interior?
It is an undeniable fact that wood was, is and will be a favorite of sophisticated, refined people who value luxury combined with naturalness. The tree will also be appreciated by people for whom family, warmth and comfort are the main values in life.
Wood is the preference of people with good taste and clear life positions.
Thus, wood in the interior offers endless possibilities that come down to environmental friendliness, practicality and sophistication. It can be used to create any design in which an atmosphere of peace, warmth and natural richness is sure to reign.

Transitional shades
Intermediate tones are a compromise for small apartments. If you don’t want to make the interior white or beige, and dark things clutter up the space too much, look for something in between. Almost all suitable shades will be warm, with varying degrees of saturation. They fill the apartment with light. Furniture with this color does not look as bulky as ebony or mahogany. These are the colors:
- Cherry (reddish-red)
- Alder (beige-red).
- Rustic oak (medium brown).
