What Textile and Flooring Colors Go with Cherry Wood Bedroom Furniture?

Designing the perfect bedroom with the perfect colors isn’t just about wall colors.

It’s also just as important that you choose the proper textile and flooring colors. After all, these other bedroom accessories are what complete your bedroom’s look.

There are so many types of furniture and other aspects that you could use to decorate your bedroom. And discussing the perfect color options for each is—to put it mildly—hard.

But the 3 main aspects of your bedroom that play the BIGGEST role are bedding, curtains, and rugs (or other flooring).

That’s why it’s really important that you know exactly what colors go with cherry wood bedroom furniture when choosing your bedding, curtains, and flooring.

Bedding Color Options

The best colors for bedding with cherry wood bedroom furniture are light colors, such as white, cream, ivory, or soft beige.

These colors offer the perfect contrast to the rich brown color of cherry bedroom furniture. And trust me, this contrast is all your bedroom needs.

Make sure to always avoid dark colors for your bedding, such as dark brown and burgundy.

This is because dark bedding colors are more likely to blend in with the dark cherry wood bed frame, which would ruin your bedroom’s elegance.

Pro tip: I recommend staying away from bed sheets that have patterns and textures, unless you’re going for an eclectic bedroom design.

Curtains Color Options

Before I talk about the best curtain color options, let me start off by saying that you don’t need curtains.

You could choose to not have any curtains to let in more natural light. In that case, you can ignore this section entirely.

But if you do choose to have curtains, then the color of your curtains largely depend on your wall color.

Above, I talked about what wall colors go with cherry wood bedroom furniture. If you haven’t read that section yet, I recommend that you quickly go read it.

Once you’ve chosen your wall color, choose a curtain color that works well with it. Unsure what colors work well with your choice? Here are my top 2 tips:

1. If you chose a light color for your walls, you should choose a slightly darker shade of the same color for your curtains.
2. If you chose a dark color for your walls, you should choose a neutral color (such as white, cream, or ivory) for your curtains.

Rugs and Other Flooring Color Options

The third biggest component of your bedroom is your floor color. Most bedrooms have carpet and/or rugs, so I’m going to be covering the best colors for bedroom carpets and rugs.

Your carpet color helps create the color scheme of your bedroom as almost every other component of your bedroom is based on it.

That’s why I recommend choosing a neutral carpet color as it gives you more flexibility for interior design options in the future. A neutral color works well with dark furniture, light furniture, and, of course, cherry wood furniture.

A few examples of neutral carpet colors that work well with cherry wood bedroom furniture are light gray, taupe, beige, and tan.
