The core of the tree trunk is distinguished by high density and special, dark tint. Forcedier less wear-resistant and has a rich range of paints: from light gray and up to the tone of molten gold. Because of such a wide gradation, a completely different shada of wood is sometimes implied at Wenge color. Although it is more likely to be so called the classic tone of the "chocolate" core. The material has an original natural pattern texture: clearly pronounced black "bodies" on a lighter background.

The color of Wenge in the interior is combined with expensive styles that are luxurious above all. These include classics, baroque, rococo, modern, loft and even elegant art nouveau. Although the shade of noble wood can decorate any surfaces up to the plastic, but the lip of chic and high costs, peculiar to the natural tree, does not disappear. Consider in detail the features of the color and the options for its combination with other tones of the palette, methods of use in the interior design.

Color features

Wenge tree color, descended under the scorching rays of merciless sun hot Africa, like some local deities multifaceted and has many "persons." As mentioned above, in the traditional version of the shade of the dark. It is a cross between saturated chocolate, sometimes turning into black and light dark brown tone. Wenge color is used in furniture, finishing materials and in the design of entrance, interior doors. In the role of an inconspicuous decorative shade, he does not perform at all, as it has a strong, powerful energy of dominant. The interior, where Wenge prevails, can be characterized as a concise, prestigious, strict. The color will easily "strangle" the bright "neighbors", since in any composition it takes a leading position, regardless of the tint dosage. Wenge choose people with a strong character, conservatives in the depths of the soul, which prefer stability in everything, including in own home. To a greater extent, he is considered "male", since the color of African wood because of its uncompromising does not deny in the Ladiesky Boudoire.

Possible shades

To simulate the texture of Wenge, only natural drawing matters. Characteristic solely for him, the bodies have "torn" edges. They remotely resemble patterns on the skins of exotic African reptile or "divorce" on a water alternation with a strong flow, breaking about the obstacles. The texture can turn on different backgrounds:

• Bitter chocolate. Saturated color in combination with a black pattern, depending on the game of light, it looks different.
• Traditional brown. The shade is slightly lighter chocolate, does not have a similar depth, but quickly loses its "presptness" in combination with an unusual texture.
• Beige. Light tone that can have wenge wood, located closer to the crust. It shifts shades (from creamy and to light walnut) and contrasts with textural wood ornament. The surface will be different as saturation, so it is recommended to use it in accents.
• Purple. A rare shade that is attached to exotic options. The depth of tone allows you to embody the most original interior ideas.
• Burgundy wine. Noble classic tone. It is considered a clusted line of styles of past centuries, which for the sake of luxury sometimes refused convenience.
• Ash-gray. Rare, but fashionable shade. Used in Hightec, minimalism and even Provence.

Also there are nuts, honey, cream and sandy-caramel shades. Under each room, select a separate color corresponding to its unique atmosphere.

Wenge and other color palette

Color compatibility classic wenge With other shades, it does not cause difficulties in any professional designers, no newcomers. The thing is, the shade is almost neutral. It is close as possible to black, so it plays almost on any background. However, it is necessary to combine wenge with partners in style. When creating an interior composition, several colors are usually selected, which are traditionally used in the selected direction. In classic styles, it will be shades of brown, white, olive, beige, creamy, burgundy. In experimental versions (ethnics, fusion) allow combining with green, red, blue, yellow. Bright colors can argue on color activity with wenge, so the composition risks to turn out too "alive." In such a situation, it is better not to use more than two dominant shades.

When combining with another tree, perhaps the best combination is considered wenge-bleached oak. Both types of wood belong to noble breeds and possess the original texture. Freshness of the dairy shade of a white oak contrasts against a dark wenge background.

For which rooms is suitable

Wenge refers to the colors of the wagon. In strict styles, it organically flies into the room of any type. In facades furniture headset the kitchen color will be perfectly harmonized with classic curtains In the floor and the luxurious marble tabletop in the dining area. In the hallway, wenge is used to design doors, slopes and sometimes for decorating outdoor coating. The bedroom is the abode of peace, so more compromise shades of African wood are chosen for it. In the living room, color is used in furniture, wall and floor decoration. The conciseness of the tone is suitable for a serious hall, where guests are going mainly for intelligent conversations or reading books. In the bathroom, Henge is rarely used, as in typical apartments, these rooms cannot boast of large spaces. The dark shade will reduce them even stronger, but the bright colors of African wood (ash, beige) often decorate the surface of the furniture, which benefits the whiteness of the plumbing.

According to the advice of designers, the color of the wenge should not be used in the design of children's rooms. Too serious atmosphere, which he creates, does not fit the bright and colorful world of the child.

Wenge for the performance of cabinet and built-in furniture

The color of the noble tree comes from Africa is actively used in the production of built-in and enclosed furniture. It is used in the cabinets, cabinets, shelves, racks, sofas, beds, tables and coffee tables. Optimal is considered an option when wenge color furniture plays on a lighter background. The combination of contrasting concept will emphasize the exotic luxury surfaces. However, it has such a decision and drawbacks. Unfortunately, the darkness of water, drops and traces from the fingers are clearly visible on a dark background. Systematic cleaning problem eradicate. If the furniture has not only the color of this wood, but also made of it, then the owners will have to take care of surface protection. The so-terrible test will be the sun for her, no matter how paradoxically sounds. The inner layers, remaining without the protection of the bark, quickly burn out and lose color saturation. Over time, the facade will acquire this kind as if he was trying to choose it, but unsuccessfully.

Furniture ensembles

Furnishing in the color of Wenge has the original ability - the ability to enter the interior discipline, conciseness, strict geometry. Especially popular use kitchen headsetsperformed in this color. The rigor of the palette is diluted with bright aprons, curtains, textiles, or small decor. In order to visually "pull out" the room with squat ceilings, the bottom headset is performed in a dark wenge, and the top is made in bright coffee-milk shades. By the way, in the same situation, you can use a win-win version: White Oak and African tree. As mentioned above, this color of respectability is considered to be dominant. This rule concerns even the brightest shades. For this reason, in large-sized headsets, which stretch to the ceiling itself, the wenge is necessarily diluted with other paints and surfaces. Otherwise, he will crush, exacerbating the problem of the massiveness of the furniture and creating a gloomy, caricature-gothic interior. As additional surfaces, glass is used (simple and etched), decoch, lacc and in rare plastic cases (as it does not harmonize with a luxurious wood tone). Perhaps the most popular type of furniture, which is performed in the color of the African tree, have become storage systems of any type. Cabinets (coupe and swing), wardrobe, racks, open and closed shelves with an exotic coating will be decorated with any room and style. They harmonize like with classic furniture (wenge-bleached oak, beech) and with modern options (Glass, metal with steel glitter, mirrors).

Furnishing color wenge as an accent

The classic color of the wenge (the core of the tree) is dark, therefore it is not suitable for background design in small spaces. It is used as accents that are easily balanced with lighter tones. For example, in small kitchers, dark wenge in chairs and bar stand will be harmonized with pastel colors of facades headset. Often the shades of the African tree are selected for the design of worktops or hoods. These zones advantageously emphasize the severity of the furniture kit, but at the same time there are slightly away from the "thick" of culinary battles. In the living rooms in Wenge often design only coffee tables. They can turn themselves on the tone with the shades of puffs, chairs or plafo lusters. IN country houses Luxurious stairs look at the second floor whose balusters are decorated in this noble color. In the working offices, the use of written tables in the shades of Wenge is relevant. In addition, they decorated with stylish organizers in tone.

Finishing the surfaces of a shade of Wenge in a modern interior

In the finishing of the premises, the wenge is used with extreme caution. The reason for this was its color "aggression" in relation to other tones of the background and the impossibility of use within the framework of close spaces. Usually shade are used in constructive elements or in accent zones.
