Wood is a remarkable material with a multitude of uses, but it can be even better once paired up with something that compliments its intricacies. Depending on the material, such combinations can serve as perfect expressions of the sentiment that they are more than just the sums of their parts. Here are some suggestions for materials to pair with wooden accents:

  • The combination of concrete color and wood might be unorthodox, but it makes for a wonderful contrast. Concretes exudes an unpolished but immense presence that brings out the tailored lines of machined wood.
  • In contrast, the differences between wood and steel serve to enhance their shared characteristic of controlled precision.
  • Both wood and stone show their best characteristics in the presence of the other. Wood reveals its comforting warmth, while stone exudes an impassive strength found nowhere else in nature.
  • Wood suspended in a white expanse can make for a striking impression. The starkness of the color concentrates attention on the material, the presence of which ensures that the combination is bright and airy rather than harsh and glaring.
