One of the questions I get all the time - is it okay to mix wood tones, or should everything match?
Short answer: mix them 🤎 always.
I actually encourage mixing 👀 it’s what makes a space feel layered, collected, and lived-in instead of like a showroom set.
The key is making sure everything has a friend.
You don’t want just one random dark piece floating around - repeat tones so they feel intentional.
I like to approach it the same way I do mixed metals:
→ a primary (think cabinetry or fixtures)
→ a secondary (floors, furniture, accents)
When done right, it adds warmth, depth, and that effortless “homey” feel.🤎🤍
