Dark Finishes
Make a Comeback
Say goodbye (for now) to bleached
oak and pale pine. In 2026, it’s all
about moodier, richer wood tones.
Charleston-based designer Megan
Molten says, “Dark 昀椀nishes are so
back in 昀氀oors and furnishings.”
Think deep walnut coffee tables,
espresso-stained credenzas, or a
dramatic charcoal bookcase grounding the space.
Dark wood brings warmth, weight,
and a sense of timeless elegance
— perfect for creating a cozy winter nest. And don’t worry, it plays
surprisingly well with brighter colors. That pumpkin-orange pillow or
cranberry-red throw? They’ll pop
even more against a deep-toned
backdrop.
