How Lighting and Wood Finishes Work Together in Furniture Design

Lighting transforms wood furniture — enhancing tone, colour, and texture. At True Grain, we consider lighting before choosing a finish.

Warm lighting brings out the golden undertones in oak and cherry, while cool lighting emphasizes the dark richness of walnut. Satin finishes catch soft light beautifully, while matte oils diffuse reflections for a natural feel.

Our Hamilton workshop uses custom blends of oil and varnish to achieve balance under any lighting condition. Whether your home features bright daylight or cozy ambiance, True Grain furniture maintains its warmth and character in every setting.
