Wondering how to mix different wood finishes and colours without making your home feel too busy?
The 60-30-10 rule is a simple way to create balance, warmth and visual harmony—especially when choosing custom cabinetry, flooring and furniture. At ohsome, we believe your home doesn’t need everything to match. It just needs the right balance.
60% — Dominant Colour
Start with your main colour—the foundation of your space.
Think warm white, cream, beige or soft greige for:
- Walls
- Large built-in cabinets
- Flooring
- Major furniture
These soft neutral tones create a calm and timeless backdrop.
30% — Natural Wood Tone
Add a natural wood finish to bring warmth and texture.
In this design, light oak is used across the TV console, cabinetry and selected furniture pieces.
It adds a natural contrast while keeping the room bright and inviting.
10% — Dark Wood & Accent Tones
Now add deeper tones for character and definition.
Walnut or dark wood works beautifully for:
- Coffee tables
- Feature shelves
- Decorative details
- Small furniture pieces
You can also introduce subtle sage green, black or earthy accents through décor and accessories.
The Key: Balance, Not Matching
Different wood tones can work beautifully together when they share a warm, natural feel.
Instead of matching every piece, repeat selected tones throughout the room. For example, light oak cabinetry paired with a darker walnut coffee table creates contrast without looking disconnected.
A Simple OHSOME Combination
60%: Warm white + soft beige
30%: Light natural oak
10%: Dark walnut + subtle green accents
The result is a living space that feels warm, balanced and timeless—with just the right touch of personality.
