Simple room designs are best complemented by light tones. Casual and minimal decorating styles are the best match. Avoid using light-toned wood in formal rooms, such as formal dining areas and sitting rooms. Heavy-grained woods, such as oak are an excellent choice to show off casual interiors, while lighter grains (like maple) draw attention to bold wall colors that are popular in modern interiors.
