Does your furniture finish need to match house trim?

We recently relocated to the upper midwest. We found out on our house hunting trip that the majority of homes in this area (actually, every one we looked at) had stained wood trim vs. painted, including new construction. I'm sure its a regional thing and folks here just like it that way. I am definitely not used to this. All of my previous homes have had painted white baseboards, doors, mouldings, wainscotting, etc. The house we ended up purchasing has maple cabinetry in a honey-colored stain, and all the trim throughout the house is stained to match, including the fp mantle. Most of my furniture is a darker wood. It looks funny to me, but it could be I'm just not used to it. Does your furniture need to match your trim stain?
