Content
The use of wenge wood, resembling oak in its properties, was prompted by the popularization of the African style. Despite the high price due to expensive raw materials, the demand for wenge furniture is growing, because with it the interior looks luxurious.
In order not to lose the natural wealth of furnishings, experts recommend:
- Correctly choose a combination of furniture cabinet sets with a soft corner and with the decor of walls and floors.
- Avoid multicolor in the interior. Design like “colorful sundress” is strictly contraindicated if modular wenge furniture is present in the room.
- Maintain a single style. Do not save and complement the interior with inexpensive wallpaper, curtains, carpet, etc., all the decor should be premium.
- Give preference to matte surfaces instead of gloss, with the exception of nickel-plated handles and other accessories.
It is recommended to consult a specialist when designing a room with wenge furniture. He will tell you what solution will give the interior a zest and make it cozy and unique. A win-win option is to use shades of oak.
Wenge color combinations in the interior
Wenge furniture has several universal combinations that are applicable in any room. Natural shades of wood from dark golden to chocolate and plum allow you to use almost all colors. A triple combination and 3-4 shades of oak at the same time are permissible, the use of which in the design is even approved by experts. The following color interactions are recommended:
- wenge-white-gray;
- wenge-white-red;
- wenge and all shades of green;
- wenge and white;
- wenge and all shades of red;
- wenge and yellow;
- wenge and light tones of blue.
The most popular combinations are wenge-white-gray and wenge with shades of green. This color scheme is suitable for the design of any room: living room, hallway, bedroom, kitchen and even for children. Using shades of green, a room can be visually divided into functional zones.
Living room decor: luxury and luxury only
Most clearly, wenge furniture is revealed in the living room. Designers recommend modular furniture sets with handles, brackets, tables and tables, soft chairs and sofas to choose dark shades or made in two colors. It is more advantageous in a living room with a wenge color to look matte surfaces rather than gloss.
For the floor, it is better to purchase a dark laminate or parquet. Fans of carpet products can cover the floor in the living room with a carpet to match the wallpaper. When combining wenge furniture plus light oak flooring, the shade of a palace must be selected from the color spectrum of the latter.
For wall decor in the living room, you can use vinyl, non-woven and glass wallpaper, paintings in the form of weaving, stone and much more. It is better to refuse carpets on the walls. For windows, it is recommended to select classic curtains to match the furniture. The living room is the only room in the house that gives room for imagination when decorating walls for wenge furniture. Applying wallpaper for painting, it becomes possible to experiment with shades, highlighting the far and darkened corners by switching to a lighter tone.
The combination of two materials for decoration emphasizes the versatility of the living room.The basic rule is to avoid gloss, budget options for curtains, wallpapers, rugs and not save on laminate flooring.
The house begins with an entrance hall
Wenge furniture for the hallway should be selected taking into account the illumination of the room. To avoid gloom, contrasts and glossy details should be used. Cabinets, hangers and coasters in the hallway can be purchased two-tone with light handles, brackets or sinks. The decor for the walls is matched to the tone of the light part of the furniture. More often this is embossed wallpaper, less often - natural material (bamboo sheets, straw weaving, oak veneer), on the floor - a dark laminate.
The hallway of a large area can be decorated under a tree, picking up a brown shade of furniture. In a country house, brickwork perfectly fits into the interior. If there is a window in the hallway, a combination of wenge and shades of green, or shades of oak, or orange will do. The color of curtains or blinds is recommended to choose a tone lighter than furniture.
In a standard entrance hall in a high-rise building, contrast creates additional illumination due to LED strips, sconces and mirror lamps, which create bright highlights on the details with gloss.
Kitchen interior design
Wenge kitchen sets are not suitable for small spaces. If the kitchen is 7 squares or less, and the owners really want to keep up with the times, then light-colored modular cabinets with handle-brackets are quite suitable. The ideal color scheme in combination with rich brown with all shades of green. For furnishing a small kitchen, it is undesirable to use dark tones.
Modular wenge kitchen furniture with built-in handles does not need additional decor, thanks to the natural pattern. For the kitchen, a few glass or metal parts with gloss, but not scattered, but with a smooth transition in color and functionality, are enough. A laminate of dark tones is laid on the floor.
Wenge in the nursery: to be or not to be
Some designers are skeptical about the acquisition of modular wenge furniture in the nursery. For preschoolers, they recommend choosing a bright style with fun wallpapers and curtains. Colors of wenge of light shades of a bed, a little table, curbstones and boxes with bright handles buttons are admissible.
Schoolchildren can decorate a nursery under a tree, using all shades of oak in a color combination. A few bright details with gloss, original door handles will soften the strict style of wenge furniture. An excellent option for the nursery is a modular cabinet set in two colors. On the windows fit Roman curtains or classic to match the furniture.
On the floor in the children's room, designers are advised to use a laminate or parquet. When designing under a tree - brown, with two-color wenge furniture - to match the dark part.
The most romantic interior
The bedroom is the only room where savings are acceptable, but not on the decor for walls and curtains, but on the furniture. When designing a room in a minimalist style, you can refuse to purchase a full set of modular furniture, and buy a wardrobe or bed. To maintain the style, one of the walls can be decorated with a panel under the wenge.
The interior of the bedroom is recommended to be selected either in universal three colors, or with shades of green and red. Upholstered furniture should not resist the cabinet, and not stand out as a pale spot against the background of the walls. On the floor, place parquet or laminate flooring and a small carpet on top.
