How Lighting Affects the Look of Your Wood Furniture
Wood changes dramatically depending on lighting — here’s what to expect.
Natural Light
Brings out warmth, variation, and grain detail.
But long-term direct sun can darken or lighten wood unevenly.
Warm/Soft Lighting
Enhances cozy tones and makes grain look richer.
Cool/White Lighting
Makes wood look more modern and minimal.
Accent Lighting
Spotlights details like figure, knots, or live edges.
Lighting doesn’t just brighten a room — it transforms how your furniture looks and feels.
