Are there any rules ? So for wooden flooring, worktop, dining table in the kitchen
I am thinking “contrast” so a chalked pale nordic oak floor (sort of invisible) alongside a large chunk of quite dramatic zebrano wood worktop (Mixed veins of lighter amber and v dark black/brown) and then a v dark stained wooden dining table and chairs. So the floor would frame/highlight the table and chairs - and their dark wood would link to the vein in the worktop.
The units will be flat matte black and the walls a pale colour to merge with the floor?
