can i mix wood tones in one room

[Anonymous]

As long as the colors are individually nice, sure

I used to be up tight about that, but not any more. I agree that if they're nice pieces, it will work.

Mixing woods is very popular right now. I think variety is nice than matchy matchy. You might want to add one other pine accent piece to bring it all together and make it look more deliberate.

That won't be very noticeable. (If for some reason it looks terrible, get a bed skirt or longer bed cover.)

I think it's most important that the furniture styles/lines complement each other. i.e., don't put a modern pine platform bed into a room with traditional cherry furniture. Assuming you're good there, I think it's fine to mix wood tones.

yes, matchy matchy is something you should see only in catalogs and stores.

Yes, mixing is ok.

for a second i thought i posted this in my sleep as i have a simi lar question. for me it is a dining room with oak and cherry pieces. i want to add a piece for storage. it is advertised as a "linen" cabinet but under the reviews several people have recommended it for storage in a dining room or bedroom. we will put it in a corner next to the kitchen. it only comes in white or "tobacco" and i am leaning towards the white: i think it would seem more unobtrusive that way. what do you think? (op i can start new thread if u want)

Yes mixing woods breaks it up - I dislike the "all Oak, all the time" look. In my colonial i have extensive wood floors, of course, PLUS all the trim is wood. So I added a blonde hutch and it goes, but it breaks it up. When we get a table, I think i'll go darker.

Yes on the white - either white or dark would go but white in the corner next to the kitchen is probably best.

On Modern Family, the Dunphy's have a couple of larger cabinets in white that mix with their other things and I always think how nice they look when I watch the show.
