To date, one of the most popular species, often used in the manufacture of furniture, is saturated and juicy walnut wood. Its pleasant, not too light, but at the same time not too dark texture fits perfectly into various interiors and combines with almost the entire spectrum of colors.
The warm color of walnut wood makes the interior calm and pleasing to the eye. In such an environment it is comfortable to relax and do important things. Walnut furniture is chosen for living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms. Wall panels and columns are decorated with wooden panels; decorative objects from this tree are stored on book and mantel shelves.
As you can see, the variety of possible forms that can be made by the plastic texture of the nut knows no boundaries, however today we want to talk about the most important interior item and our everyday life - the bed.
A single or double bed made of walnut will fit into almost any interior and fill the room with tranquility and comfort. With a sufficient design of such a bed with decorative elements from other materials, the product can be fit into even the most cutting-edge styles, and a unique and pronounced wood pattern will appeal to lovers of Provence. Such a variety of stylistic solutions speaks of a nut as a very flexible and versatile material capable of transforming any spaces around itself.
Color range
The color scheme of walnut shades is truly considered one of the most extensive. The thing is that the colors of this wood range from light honey hues to saturated dark ones like mahogany.
Despite such a wide range of color expressions, furniture designers prefer to use several of the most popular shades:
- Italian walnut
- Milanese;
- Greek
- Spanish;
- Brazilian;
- dark walnut.
Regardless of the chosen shade, walnut wood has a unique feature: its texture has pronounced darker-colored streaks that add up to original and never repeated patterns that make walnut furniture a valuable asset.
Italian walnut bed
To date, wood of the shade “Italian walnut” is considered the most popular and in demand, but it is also the most difficult breed, because thanks to its noble shades it does not tolerate an inept combination of colors in the environment.
Best Italian walnut looks on a white background or in combination with wallpapers of beige and light yellow shades. Active red designs and the use of various cool colors should be avoided. Italian walnut in its color scheme belongs to the warmest shades and therefore will not tolerate a cold neighborhood nearby.
Most often, double beds and whole bedroom sets are made from Italian walnut. The wood of this type of nut is so self-sufficient that it draws all the main attention to itself, therefore, if the room has furniture made of such wood, you don’t have to worry about the rest of the room.Some designers even insist that it is better to install such beds in rooms in the style of minimalism, so that nothing would stop you from enjoying the beautiful texture of an exquisite Italian walnut.
Carved headboards and whole sculptural groups, which love to decorate beds of such wood, are especially popular. Due to its original and unique texture, walnut makes these works of art real works of decor. Again, it is important that nothing else in the room overshadows the effect produced by such a thread.
Dark walnut bed
Dark walnut wood is rightfully considered one of the most mysterious and saturated. Unique veins make the shade even more original and recognizable. Various wood items are made from such a tree, including beds.
Sleeping sets made of dark walnut can be found in rooms of classical and modern styles, less often in pronounced ethnic and Provence style. Especially popular are the modern bed models. They have the most pronounced strict geometric shapes and are decorated with metal and glass inserts.
Such a bed will be perfectly combined with light-colored interiors, as well as in natural shades of green and blue. In a room with dark decoration, such a bed will be lost, however, if the idea is to create a secret interior, then such decoration has the right to exist. Like other shades of walnut wood, dark walnut is not good friends with red and all its derivatives.
Milan nut in bedroom interior
Furniture from this variety of walnut wood also has pronounced veins, which recalls its natural origin, but in color it is a lighter fellow of Italian and dark walnut.
Furniture sets in the Art Nouveau style are most often made of such wood, because the plastic and slightly honeyed walnut texture of this shade allows you to create the so-called “ductility” and smooth lines, which is natural for the Art Nouveau style. The nut wood of the Milanese tree is excellent for the rounded forms of Art Nouveau and its many-faced bends.
In modern interiors, you can also find elements of furniture from this tree, but much less often. The thing is that this color of walnut does not combine well with the metal inserts that modernity sins. He also does not tolerate bright and screaming shades near him, so he is not suitable for avant-garde fusion.
Most often, strict-shaped beds with clear lines of headboards and sidewalls make their Milanese walnut wood. Inserts from the same walnut or wood of other species are possible, but it is very difficult to choose shades that would play along with Milan.
Milan nut also goes well with white and beige flowers, supports yellow and green shades, is suitable for combining with blue and blue colors, and can even be found in the same room as red.
Constructions of the present
In addition to a wide variety of colors, walnut wood is also famous for its other qualities. It is distinguished by the hardness and density necessary for cutting, it does not wear out, tolerates moisture well and practically does not fade.
Due to such an abundance of positive characteristics, solid walnut furniture is used in any interiors: in the living room, bedroom, study, kitchen and nursery. There are even cases when wooden parts made of walnut were used in the interiors of a bathroom and a bathroom, although, of course, such a risk required special additional processing of wooden species.
Beds made of walnut wood are found in the interiors of adult bedrooms and children's rooms, in hotel rooms and in country houses. They can be of complex structural form or have the simplest design.
For the classic interiors of home bedrooms and exquisite aristocratic hotel rooms, darker shades of walnut are chosen - it is preferable to use light walnut in children's rooms.
Walnut in the children's world
A walnut-colored children's bed will fit perfectly into the interiors of children's rooms of both very small households and older children. For small representatives of the family, you can pick up models of beds with carved headboards, which are made in the style of your favorite cartoon characters. You can also find models of cars and planes for boys, castles and carriages - for girls. It is unlikely that in this case it will be possible to preserve the original coloring of the nut, most likely it will have to be painted in colors more pleasant to the children's eye, however, the walnut wood will not lose its strength properties.
If you do not want to paint the refined walnut wood, then it is better to choose its light shades, it will be more cheerful in the interiors of children's rooms, and it is best combined with the bright colors that the children's interior is so rich in.
Favorite furniture find for young children will be a bunk bed made of wood. It is comfortable to sleep on, it is interesting to explore and arrange outdoor games, it is only important to take care of safety. Walnut wood has high strength characteristics, so you can not worry that a bunk bed under the influence of children's legs will quickly become worthless, it will stand in the children's interior for more than one year. The design can also be painted in bright colors or left in kind. A bunk bed for a children's room can have carved headboards and stairs or be concise in shape, the main thing is that all sharp corners are reliably protected.
Particularly popular among bunk structures are currently attic beds. In its classical embodiment, such a bed is an equipped children's corner for one child, where a comfortable workplace (or place for games) is equipped from below, and the bed itself is placed on top. This design is good to use in small rooms, it allows you to save free space for movement and outdoor games, as well as organize order.
More serious schoolchildren and teenagers will like walnut shades of tones of medium saturation. They are not so heavy, but at the same time they are not considered too simple and frivolous. Walnut beds for teenagers most often have laconic shapes and strict geometric headboards: rectangular or round. They can be decorated with glass or metal inserts, as well as supplemented with a canopy of fabric in the style of the general decor of the room.
Adolescents may also like walnut convertible beds. Such designs are easily transformed into several interior items at once and are distinguished by their modern design. So, for example, a transforming bed with one light touch of a hand turns into a sofa or into a workplace with a table. The transformer fits perfectly into the interiors of small rooms and allows you to save the budget on the purchase of additional furniture. In fact, you get one bed, and in addition you get both an area for gatherings and an area for work. At the same time, the room has a lot of space for comfortable movement.
A simpler version of the transformer is a walnut bed with a lifting mechanism. It does not transform into another piece of furniture, but is equipped with a convenient place for storage. The design of such a bed has a folding mechanism that lifts the mattress up and opens a free space under it, where you can fold bedding or things that, on the contrary, are rarely used.
Such beds with a lifting mechanism are made not only for children's rooms, but also for adult bedrooms. There are even options for two-bedroom designs with this storage option.However, some may find this design heavy in weight, so we recommend that you take a closer look at models where the sleeping places of a double bed are raised individually in sections.
So, we have examined with you all the possibilities of walnut wood that are presented on the modern furniture market: its rich color palette, high strength characteristics, its plasticity and style variety, its design features and versatility with respect to household age. We dare to conclude that all of the above conclusions will outweigh your choice in favor of this universal wood, and it will find its place in your home.
