Is having wenge fitted wardrobes, bedside units & tallboy drawers gonna be to dark?
Well, it does depend on the size of your room. The wenge can make a good statement if you’re careful about it. If your room is small, I would go for completely white walls to keep things fresh. If you prefer colours, go for either very light pink or blue shades. But I would prefer to go white and then introduce colour in the bedding and art on the walls, etc. A mirror between the two wardrobes is a good idea. I’d keep the wardrobes plain and probably the other furniture too. Wenge is already quite busy because you can see the ‘grain’ – it’s not a block colour like white. As long as you keep the walls white or pale, and any accessories bright, with good lighting, you can create a good contrast between your colour scheme and the wenge furniture. I’m moving into a loft apartment soon and I’m planning on getting a bit of wenge furniture – but I’ll be keeping the walls bright white!
