Dark wood in the bedroom can help to create a range of looks.
People planning to redecorate their bedroom may be interested in one expert's view on the latest styles and trends when it comes to creating a contemporary look.
Helen Green, writing for Terrys interior design blog, says pale blue combined with white is currently one of the most popular colour schemes for bedrooms.
And teaming these shades with dark wood bedroom furniture creates a great look.
Ms Green notes: "Classical colours of the palest of blues and white look stunning when teamed with dark wood."
It is not only contemporary styles that can be created with dark wooden furniture though, as the expert explains.
Traditional, homely rooms are just as easy to form with the use of a bed, bedroom table or wardrobe of the right shade - and, Ms Green suggests, the addition of stripped floorboards is another effective way of reaching a colonial appearance.
Earlier this week, the blogger said electric blue is also a suitable colour for bedrooms.
