2) Upholstered and Case Pieces


Upholstered Pieces: add depth and interest by mixing different textures, tone-on-toned patterns, and even a bit of earthy grays and browns.

*Don't be afraid to show a little leg. Stained wood furniture and case pieces are the perfect way to add that "pop" to the room.

The wooden surround and legs on this sofa are rough and old creating the perfect

I absolutely love the old beach wood and painted furniture combination.
The contrast keeps the room interesting and gives the room more character and
warmth. Wooden accents are the easiest way to bring warmth to a cooler pallet such as white.
