What Goes With a Light Oak TV Unit? A Coordinating Guide

A light oak TV unit goes with warm whites, soft greys, sage and olive greens, dusty blues, terracotta and deep inky shades on the walls, and with sofas in oatmeal, stone, grey, green or cognac leather. It pairs naturally with black metal, brushed brass, rattan, linen, wool and stone, and it sits comfortably beside white furniture and darker woods such as walnut when the tones are balanced. In this coordinating guide we work through each element of the room in turn: wall colours, flooring, sofas, other wood furniture, metals, textiles, rugs, lighting and accessories. We suggest several colour palettes that suit different styles, from Scandinavian and Japandi to warmer, more traditional UK living rooms, and point out the few combinations that tend to fall flat. The aim is to help you build a calm, coordinated room around a light oak TV unit that feels considered rather than matched, and that suits the way your household actually uses the space....
