🌿 Why Dark Wood Furniture Is Taking Centre Stage in Modern Interiors

Jul 25, 2025Cherie R

Dark wood furniture has long been a hallmark of elegance, from Georgian studies to Victorian salons, but today it is enjoying a resurgence. Beyond mere nostalgia, it makes a contemporary statement of comfort, durability and understated luxury.


✨ From Minimalism to Modern Warmth

Light-toned interiors claimed the spotlight for decades with Scandinavian simplicity, pale timber and whitewashed finishes. In recent years there has been a shift towards modern luxury, embracing rich textures, earthy hues and striking contrasts. Dark woods such as walnut and stained oak now form the foundation of interiors, adding depth that feels both grounded and inviting 


🌱 Eco-friendly Craftsmanship

Sustainability now goes hand in hand with design. Solid hardwoods such as oak, walnut and plantation rubberwood age gracefully, enriching interiors with a patina rather than fading. The Scala Oval Wooden Coffee Table, made from rubberwood and finished in a walnut stain, exemplifies this approach and remains robust, eco-friendly and sophisticated. It features a 110 cm top with gentle curves, a lower shelf for storage and a scratch-resistant coating to withstand daily use.
