Mennonite furniture is often regarded as being traditional in style. Formal and elaborate, solid wood furniture can sometimes be difficult to design around, especially if your home is more modern in style. If you’re having trouble mixing the regal feel of Mennonite furniture with the contemporary look of other items in your home, don’t worry. There’s always a way to include quality solid wood furniture in your home décor. By mixing the best of traditional and modern design, you’ll enjoy both classic lines and contemporary simplicity.

How to Update Solid Wood Furniture in Your Bedroom

Love your solid wood Mennonite bed, but worried that it looks a little out-dated next to your modern flooring and intricate lighting? Try incorporating contemporary fabrics into your design scheme. Modern bedding, drapery and upholstery will help tie eclectic styles together without compromising the design. Try to stay away from large floral patterns, or any other pattern with a traditional flare. Two-tone, block-style fabrics will look better, especially when used as a comforter. When it comes to window treatments, keep things simple with woven shades or simple sheers. To balance the solid wood furniture in the room, incorporate stainless steel accents, like picture frames or a mirror. Further, replace furniture hardware with stainless steel pulls. This will help tie the look together and modernize your Mennonite bedroom furniture.

Give Your Dining Room Some Love

Mennonite Furniture Plus features a wide selection of solid wood dining room sets. Big and beautiful, these sets can be incorporated into any room. If you want to add a personal touch to your new Mennonite solid furniture arrangement, consider incorporating simple patterns. Include upholstered cushions on the chairs, or if you prefer, opt for simple slipcovers. A textured single coloured table covering is another great way to accessorize. Ultra suede, silk shantung, or tone-on-tone stripes will ground your solid wood furniture in a modern room. Updated, modern fabrics will soften the lines of solid wood furniture and play up the sleek sophistication of a contemporary palette. Finally, don’t forget about the floor covering. If your dining room features a hardwood floor, soften things up with a sisal or jute rug. A textured rug will anchor the seating and add a pop of pizazz to the space.

Go for A Lux Living Room

Solid wood furniture can really up the aesthetics of your main living space. Warm and inviting, Mennonite furniture can be both formal and functional. Chunky coffee tables and television stands help create structure in a room, while soft sofas and upholstered chairs add a layer of softness. Lightweight drapes will help let natural light in, and don’t forget to accessorize with decorative pillows, textured throws, and contemporary art works.

Add Some Excitement to Your Entryway

Mennonite solid wood furniture isn’t just for the main rooms in your home. Consider placing a rustic entry table in the foyer of your home. Modernize it with silver or glass decorative bowls. Whatever you do, don’t include traditional dollies. Instead use stick felt pads on the undersides of the bowls. This will protect the wood from damaging scratches. To top it off, hang a contemporary art piece in a silver frame.

Rinse and Repeat with Your Antiques

The above design recommendations can also be applied to antique pieces. The juxtaposition of ultra modern accessories and elegant antiques is very trendy right now, so why not give it a try? Decorating a room with different furniture styles, colours and patterns will create an eclectic, custom feel, making you the envy of all your friends!
