Guest Picks: Wood Plus White
With both warmth and crispness, accessories that mix wood and white are a beautiful study in contrast
One of my favorite combos to decorate with is wood and white. I love the dark, rough texture of wood against fresh, clean white. It’s hard to go wrong with this duo, as it easily fits with just about any style. You can either find something that already pairs wood and white, or just pair the two yourself by finding separate items you love and displaying them together in your home. — Jamie from A Pair of Pears
Adjustable Wood Task Lamp
There are three lovely textures in this lamp: rough wood for the body, cement for the base and white linen for the shade. They’re all blended together so perfectly in one little piece.
Wood Block Bulb Lamp
I would love this lamp for my bedside table, which is supersmall. It has a much-needed dish that I could use for my jewelry.
Faceted Wood Bulb Lamp
This is a great light for a small table. The best part is that you don’t have to worry about picking out the perfect lamp shade to go with it.
Stool/Side Table/Pedestal Table, White by Inoow Design
I’ve never seen such a neat stool. It has a very clever design: It can easily come apart and be stored in the closet.
Wood Handle Bar Tools Set
Bar carts are all the rage these days, but you need to make sure you have the necessary tools to make all those yummy cocktails. This is by far my favorite set. The dark wooden handles look so sophisticated.
Wood-Topped Water Bottle
When guests come over, I love having a pitcher of water on the table so that they can easily refill their glasses at dinner. This one has such a neat wooden cover.
Birdie Cuckoo Clock, Standing House, Light Wood Veener
Cuckoo clocks have a special place in my heart; my grandparents had one in their house. This is a nice clean and modern version that would easily fit into any home’s decor.
Logone Frame
I love framing family photos to place around the home. This frame would complement most photos beautifully.
Contrast Wood Box
Little storage boxes like these come in handy. They are perfect homes for all those little knickknacks that you can never seem to find a good place for.
Threshold Faceted Stoneware Vase, Cream
I love the idea of getting some wooden branches to fill up this vase. It would look nice on the mantel or as a centerpiece on the dinner table.
Modern Two-Tone Hamper
Laundry never looked so pretty! Usually I hide it all in the closet, but I would want to keep this hamper out. Clothes might actually make it into this bin.
Modern Two-Tone Towel Rack
This is made for drying towels, but it would be great in the living room to hang blankets on too.
Natural Driftwood Wall Hook
There are a million things you could hang on this wooden wall hook: a coat in the entryway, a towel in the bathroom, even an apron in the kitchen, for starters.
Accordion Sconce
Accordion sconces have a vintage vibe that I love, and they’re the ultimate adjustable lamp to get the right amount of light just where you want it.
Jasper Pendant
I could see one or two these perfect pendants hanging above an island in a kitchen. The shape is really clean and works so well in wood.
Diamantini + Domeniconi Cuckoo Clock, Wood Grain
The faux wood finish on this clock is probably my favorite feature. This piece is so minimal and clean, and the house shape is really cute.
Midcentury Wicker Mirror
When I saw these mirrors, I think my heart stopped. They are some of the prettiest ones I have ever seen. I don’t know if I could just get one; I like them all together in a sort of gallery wall, as shown.
Recipe Card Set and Holder
Recipe cards are still used by many cooks, and this wooden holder would come in handy. It would fit with any kitchen decor, and it’s beautiful enough to leave out on the counter all the time.
Rectangular White Bowl With Wood Lid
I live in a small apartment, so I love multipurpose things. This container can be used as a serving dish, bakeware or even storage for leftovers.
