Go minimalist with white or pale grey painted furniture in open-plan spaces. Keep the look cohesive by adding:
-
Bare wooden floors or light oak laminate
-
Minimal décor, such as ceramic bowls, books, and low-maintenance plants

Plenty of natural light with sheer curtains

Use painted furniture to turn awkward spaces into functional areas:
-
A slim white painted console table in a hallway
-
A grey painted blanket box at the end of the bed
-
A soft ivory bookcase in a home office or nursery
Don't be afraid to play with colour: painted pieces offer the perfect pop without overwhelming a room.

Create visual interest by combining painted and natural oak furniture. Try:
-
A painted dining table with natural oak benches

A grey wardrobe beside a raw oak chest of drawers

Ivory-painted living room units with exposed oak coffee tables
Mixing finishes adds texture and avoids a “matchy-matchy” look.
