Gustavian furniture; influenced by French culture and tradition, King Gustav III paid tribute to his time travelling to combine Swedish style with French neoclassicism. Characterised by architectural form and symmetry, and adorned with columns and detailed carvings, our Gustavian collection pays tribute to the kinship that exists between French and Swedish furniture design.

How to style dark wood furniture: 

There are many ways to beautifully style your dark wood bedroom. Begin by selecting a colour palette that complements the wood's rich tones. Incorporate accessories that accentuate its depth, and feel free to draw inspiration from current dark wood trends for a fresh perspective.

For colour palettes, we recommend pairing your dark wood furniture with shades of green, brown, and black. Think about complementing your furniture with flagstone or wooden flooring for a natural aesthetic. Textured wallpaper can introduce a masculine vibe, while striped wallpaper works well with our Gustavian Dark furniture, enhancing the elegance of the hand-carved fluting. Additionally, using white elements, like our white bed linen sets, can create a striking contrast against the dark tones.

Incorporating brass accents, such as our stylish brassy fluted wall lights, will also add a touch of warmth and sophistication. Explore our collection of luxury cushions available in a variety of colours, including rich forest greens, soft oatmeal tones, and warm autumnal shades like cinnamon. These cushions are perfect for styling your dark furniture and creating a cosy autumn atmosphere. Lastly, check out our luxurious collection of bedspreads and blankets in an array of colours that bring warmth and comfort as we enter the colder seasons.

A current popular trend in "old money" dark wood furniture is the Cottagecore aesthetic. This style emphasises a rustic vibe by incorporating dark wood pieces alongside textured wallpaper and a variety of accessories. It evokes a countryside feel through a vibrant colour palette and a layered combination of antique, vintage, and contemporary furniture styles.

Our dark wood furniture is perfect for achieving the Cottagecore aesthetic in your home. You can design a cosy dark wood bedroom or use our elegant pieces to create your dream dark wood furniture living room. Don’t forget to visit our home accessories page to complete your look and bring that Cotswolds cottage vibe to life in your space.
