Walnut color furniture
Furniture in walnut color is not in vain one of the most sought-after segments in the production of interior items. Deep shades, expressive natural pattern, durability and suppleness of the material attract both furniture masters and manufacturers of finishing materials. A wide palette of shades - from light "honey" tones to very dark, deep mahogany, can transform any interior - from classic to ultramodern.
Of course, the color of the nut varies depending on the type of tree and can be represented in various shades, colorful combinations, various variations of the veins of the wood pattern. In the wide sale you can find the following variations of this durable, but docile in processing material for the manufacture of furniture and decoration elements:
- Italian;
- Milanese;
- Brazilian;
- American;
- pecans.
Not only furniture, but also doors, flooring, wall panels, countertops, decor elements and picture frames are made of walnut wood. Many homeowners themselves, or with the help of professionals, would like to bring the warmth of natural material to the interior of their own home. Let's try together to figure out which interior decoration, color palette, textiles and decor are more effective and attractive to combine different variations of walnut.
Color walnut in the kitchen and dining room
If the basis for the design of the premises is walnut, it is necessary to prioritize the use of shades and clearly distribute the proportions. To simplify, the "nut theme" in space can appear in two variations. The first type involves the use of a nut dominant - it is one of the species of wood that becomes the basis of furniture - a kitchen, for example. Such a design of the space will require excellent natural and artificial lighting - large windows and a multi-stage lighting system in this case will help maintain the warmth of the natural material. The second option for using nut shades is the so-called “companion nut”, which effectively complements the basic atmosphere of the space and often acts as an accent or softens the existing brightness of the design.
Not every kitchen space is able to harmoniously accept a whole furniture ensemble made of walnut wood. The beautiful natural pattern of the nut blends perfectly with light shades and acts as a contrasting dark accent in this case. The use of a dark shade of walnut for the execution of the lower tier of kitchen cabinets and the base of the island in combination with a light top furniture set allows not only to create a colorful and practical ensemble, but also visually increase the height of the room.
The pronounced natural pattern of the nut does not need decoration. Therefore, most kitchen facades from this material are either presented in an absolutely smooth version, or are accompanied by the simplest and most concise fittings, not able to distract attention from the main element of the furniture ensemble. For the same reasons, it is better to choose solid-colored countertops for a kitchen set, excluding variations on the theme of stone (or its imitation) with an equally rich natural texture - streaks and overflows, changing shades and colors.
Another way to use walnut in the kitchen space is to clad floors and make countertops. In order for the natural wood pattern to be most advantageously presented, it is recommended to use wooden countertops in combination with bright, plain facades of kitchen cabinets.The combination of the material of the countertop with the floor will harmoniously complete the image of the room for cooking.
For dark, deep shades of walnut wood, a spacious and bright dining room is perfect. The severity and clarity of the dining group will look especially advantageous against a light background of flooring, snow-white walls and sunlight breaking through panoramic windows.

Such a practical element of the interior can become the focal point of modern design, gathering around itself furniture and decor, decorated in a completely different manner. And while the whole composition will look harmonious, original and at the same time functional.
Brown-honey shades of walnut perfectly integrate into almost any interior style. Modern motifs in the design of the kitchen or dining room harmoniously accept the natural warmth, as opposed to the stainless steel appliances, glossy facades, glass surfaces and an abundance of built-in lighting.

The tree of different breeds has a pronounced structure, its natural pattern is so attractive and unique that simple and concise forms are often used in the manufacture of furniture.

But even in a spacious room it is better not to use all the surfaces for decoration with walnut wood - leave at least one wall with a light finish, accent in this case.
