How to choose furniture color and style for home decor

Finding the perfect furniture color is not an easy task. With the existing variety of shades, it will take more than one day to study the palette. We asked designers how not to make a mistake with the choice and stay on trend

The color of furniture is largely determined by its material: wood or its imitation, various textiles, plastic or recycled materials marked “eco”, etc. For some materials, the range of colors is limited (for example, for natural solid wood), while others open up space for experimentation.

Color solutions for cabinet furniture are largely determined by the texture of the wood. Beech, wenge, walnut and oak are all the names of the colors and wood from which interior items are made. At the same time, MDF and chipboard facades offer almost limitless palettes and all kinds of imitations, including wood. The basis of such catalogs, as a rule, consists of several basic colors, and further diversity is provided by shades. Only walnut has at least three basic ones: gold, Milanese and Italian.
