When looking for colours to best suit your furniture - whether you've just moved into a new place, or just feel like redecorating - it can sometimes be a little overwhelming with so many colour choices! There is definitely no "right" or "wrong", because it's all up to personal taste. However to get you started, here are a few suggestions based off our cushion collections that we think will match some of the most common furniture colours.

First things First!

Colours can be chosen to either compliment or contrast your furniture. Using a colour wheel is always helpful! Find your furniture colour on the wheel. Surrounding colours will generally compliment as they have similar tones. Opposite colours on the wheel, as the name suggests, will contrast and give your space a dynamic flair.

Wooden Furniture

Furniture made from wood generally include bed heads, desks or tables, and cupboards. These can come in different shades such as dark, medium or golden yellow.

Dark Finishes

Lighter colours such as oranges, yellows, neutrals, or pastel blues and greens generally contrast well with darker finishes to lighten up the space!

Medium Tones

Light colours such as oranges, yellows or neutrals generally compliment medium tones quite nicely. Or darker colours such as maroons, browns, or dark greens and blues can be great for contrasting.

Golden Yellow Tones

Warm, earthy tones work extremely well with golden yellow tones. Darker colours contrast well such as reds, earthy green, teal or aubergine.
