Avoid Pairing These Colours With Wooden Replacement Bedroom Doors

From rich walnuts to honey coloured oaks, wood is a beautiful natural material that can bring character to our homes. The relationship between the wood tones and the colours that we choose to incorporate into the same space can have a huge impact on the overall atmosphere of a room.

There are a number of colours that can look jarring alongside wood tones, so let’s take a look at the combinations you might want to avoid when designing your bedroom.

Colour Combinations to Avoid with Wooden Replacement Bedroom Doors

Warm toned wood and bright colours 

Wood with orange undertones can bring a beautiful warmth to a space and help you to create a bedroom that feels supremely comforting and inviting. Warm toned wood can clash with bold or bright tones, creating an energy that feels unbalanced and jarring. 

So, rather than choosing fuchsia pinks, azure blues or sunshine yellows, instead choose less saturated or neutral tones that will balance out the inherent warmth in wooden replacement bedroom doors and furniture, such as sage green, dove grey and cashmere.

Dark wood and pale hues 

Pairing dark, richly toned woods with very pale colours can offer too much contrast and create a space that looks harsh and uninviting. If you want to incorporate richly toned wooden replacement bedroom doors into your space, such as our Valore slab doors in Vanguard walnut finish, avoid pairing them with cool toned light grey or crisp white walls. 

Instead, explore the opportunity to experiment with saturated tones to create an intensely luxurious bedroom, such as rust red and yellow ochre. To lift the space, incorporate flashes of warm metallic accents, such as our Windsor door knob and Windsor shell handle in a satin brass finish.

Yellow on yellow 

There are many beautiful yellow toned woods that can bring a delicate sense of warmth to a bedroom space, however it’s important to note that they very rarely pair well with yellow walls or accessories. Rather than creating a layered, tonal look, pairing different yellows can look too intense and create a jolting atmosphere that’s simply not conducive to restful and restorative sleep. 

Pro Tip: If you want to embrace the butter yellow trend in your bedroom, choosing a richer wood finish for your replacement bedroom doors will be a wise decision.

Natural woods and neon tones

As neon colours very rarely appear in nature, they can look at odds with the delicate tones found in natural woods. While wooden replacement bedroom doors and antique furniture can easily get lost amongst neon tones, they will really shine when paired with heritage colours, such as dusky pink and sage green. 

Pro Tip: Wood always works best when it plays a central role in your design scheme. If you want to make a statement with neon hues, perhaps consider different finishes other than wood so as to avoid distracting from your favourite colours.

Mahogany and moody tones

Mahogany is a deep, intense colour, and if you want to bring such richly toned pieces into your bedroom without overwhelming the space completely, it’s so important to ensure that the colour palette you choose elevates rather than detracts from the natural beauty of your furniture. 

Rather than trying to make mahogany work with chocolate brown or emerald green, choosing neutral colours such as linen, cashmere or antique white will always create a more balanced and welcoming atmosphere, which allows the wood to take centre stage.
