As the days begin to stretch a little longer and the first hints of spring emerge, there’s no better time to refresh your interiors. One of the most effective ways to add depth, warmth, and character to your home is through the interplay of wood accents and carefully chosen colour pairings. This season, we’re embracing soft, earthy tones that effortlessly complement different wood finishes, creating spaces that feel balanced, inviting, and full of life.
Muted Earthy Greens & Rich Wood: A Calming Living Space
Soft, muted green tones bring a sense of tranquillity to a living room, grounding the space in nature while keeping it fresh and airy. Pairing these with rich, warm wood accents—such as walnut or mahogany—creates an elegant contrast that feels both timeless and rejuvenating. Consider painting your walls in a gentle sage or olive hue like Corbally, complemented by wooden shelving, a statement coffee table, or even exposed wooden beams. The result? A relaxed yet refined space that invites you to unwind in comfort.

Clean Warm White & Light Oak: An Airy Hallway Retreat
The hallway is the entryway to the home, and a light, welcoming aesthetic makes it a joy to spend time in. A soft, warm white paired with light oak creates an effortless, Scandi-inspired space that feels bright and fresh without being stark. Opt for a subtle, creamy white on the walls, like Alabaster White, to enhance the natural warmth of light oak flooring or banisters. The natural grain of the wood adds depth and texture, keeping the space from feeling flat while maintaining a crisp and contemporary feel—perfect for those brighter mornings and longer evenings ahead.

Muted Earthy Pinks & Soft Light Wood: A Serene Bedroom Escape
There’s something undeniably calming about soft, earthy pinks, especially when paired with natural light wood tones. Think blush, clay, or rose-infused neutrals set against pale beech or ash wood furniture. We recommend shades like Pink Chocolate or Chestnut Pink. This combination brings a softness and warmth to a bedroom, making it the perfect sanctuary for restful nights and peaceful mornings. Introduce subtle contrasts with linen bedding in soft greys or warm neutrals, and add woven textures or brass accents for a little extra dimension.

Deep Greens & Rich Red Wood: A Sophisticated Study or Hallway
For those looking to make a bold yet sophisticated statement, deep green walls combined with red-toned wood (such as pine or cherry) create a beautifully cocooning atmosphere. This pairing works particularly well in a study, library, or even a hallway where you want to add depth and richness. The depth of a deep forest or emerald green enhances the reddish warmth of pine, making the space feel grounded and full of character. Pair with antique brass or matte black hardware for a refined finish that feels both classic and contemporary. We recommend a shade like Sweet Caper for this look.

Whether you’re drawn to the tranquillity of muted greens, the crispness of warm whites, the softness of earthy pinks, or the depth of deep greens, there’s a pairing to suit every space.
