Do You Prefer Reds, Brunettes Or Blondes? Whatever You Like, There Is A Wood Finish For You
Wood tone trends change like the weather. One minute white washed oaks were in, when today, if you open up your favorite furniture advertisement, you are most likely going to find something in a dark walnut. Just like paint or color trends, wood tones change and evolve. However, a unique attribute of wood tones is that they can have traditional “definitions” that will always (I say that lightly) give a little direction on their use. This is not to say that pushing the envelope is not allowed and that they always have to be used in the following scenarios, but these are common perceptions.
First are the red heads, this includes dark mahogany tones and anything from a red toned hardwood family. These tones commonly found in traditional design. When I think of red wood tones, I automatically think of law offices and wing back chairs.
We will cover the blondes next, since they do have more fun. Not to be biased (I am a blonde myself), but out of all the wood tones (at least the ones being discussed right now), blondes are the most versatile. Oak and maples tones can fall into these categories. Oak is found in a lot of hardwood floors and colors for kitchen cabinetry. Maple is very popular in furniture finishes, and all blonde tones actually have the ability to become strawberry blondes by taking on a more orange tone. Amber maple and honey oak would be common names for these finishes.
Finally we will cover the brunette. Brunettes are tricky because they can actually be from the same wood species as red heads and blondes, but darker. By far, it seems that dark chocolate walnuts are the most popular tones right now in the commercial and residential markets. These colors can be the same saturation as the red versions, but missing the crimson hints and are replaced with more black. These tones are very helpful when planning an interior because they really become more of a neutral and do not compete as more yellow or red.
In the end, every wood finish is necessary for a successful interior, it just depends on how you want to define it! What is your preference? Do certain tones work more successfully in certain areas of the house?
