What a wonderful and informative video... I learned a lot and greatly appreciate it. You are so well-spoken and articulate and I love your color and design suggestions! Thank you 🧡🌷
Very fluent and fluid speaking despite the accent. I respect you because I can tell you took classes on sophisticated vocabulary. Good calm speaking. 👍❤️🇺🇸
Great video with useful tips! What type of complementary wood would go well with raw mango wood dining table that has a mixture of light/dark/cool/warm tones? I’m having difficulty in finding anything similar. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your kind comment. Now on to the issue at hand: as you pointed out your raw mango wood dining table has a mixture of light and dark, cool and warm tones. Thus, I would definitely look to pull out any one of the tones of your dining table. For example: if you have a contemporary setting with a minimal flair, then I would pull out the grey tones and look for a wood grain that would have a dominant grey tone too. Say a grey-beige Tossini Elm wood type or a grey oak might be in right order for it is neutral with grey under-toned grain to it. On the other hand, if you're more into an eclectic mix and match then, I would pull out the warm tones from the dining table and go for something in that direction. Natural Bardolino Oak is quite neutral, light yet, warm toned and quite spirited like your raw mango dining table. It really depends on your style and what you're more comfortable with. I hope this helps. Honestly, a picture of your table would help me see where you're going with it. DM if need be. Best, Velvet
Te Esse Thank you so much, Velvet for your wonderful tips and advice! I would love to send you an image of the table as well as the pieces I have in mind to pair with it and would love to hear your opinion however I do not have social media. Do you by chance have a business email that I could send them to? Thank you in advance! 😊
Hello! I'm very inexperienced in this topic, but I've been wanting to change up my room lately. I have two matching dresser and wardrobe in the same (neutral-ish) beige color, two doors that are a warm toned beige, and a bookshelf with a super dark cold toned brown that i cant change with another furniture, (so the best way to change the color is by wallpapers). I was wondering if i could make the room look more cohesive by adding dark wood color accents on my other beige furniture, will dark and light wood combination look good together in a single furniture?
One way that may help you determine the undertones is by comparing your floor against a piece of neutral wood (beige) that you can get hold of. When you do that, then you should be able to pick up which undertones from your floor pop out. If you don't see any undertones popping out and your neutral wood sample appears similar to your floor, then chances are that your floor is also neutral. If you still don't know for sure, then send me a picture of your space with your floor at info@te-esse.com.
Hello Te Esse, The front part of our house has beige travertine tile with mustard walls and the back part of our house has dark walnut wood floors with neutral walls so the dominant wood we have running throughout our home is the walnut wood flooring. Our problem is that when we put dark wood furniture on the dark floors the furniture pieces look like they are extensions of the flooring or in some cases just get lost into the flooring. The dark wood seems to look better contrasting on the beige travertine. We really like wood and are trying to find coffee tables and end tables that will work in the back room. Do you have any ideas of some that will work with the wood floor but that won't look like it is being swallowed up by the floor?
It sounds to me like you've got a great house with a warm toned palette. Now with regards to the back part of your house, you should ideally go for a more grey wood mid-tone to avoid having the furniture looking like extensions of the flooring as you put it. For instance, shorewoord, truffle brown Denver oak, or grey Bardolino oak are all woods with a more grey-ish tone to them. All three of them could look great on a walnut flooring. If however, these are not to your liking, then you could also consider going for a rattan/wicker coffee table. It's a timeless choice that won't fail to deliver. :)
Problem is I have OCD, and the floor is mostly covered with white rug. But the under color is grey based brown. However, I want all wood items to be yellow because I will introduce plants and it feels yellow adds the LIFE perk? However, my brain keeps saying “you hate yellow, you love grey brown! You’re going to regret it!” I tried hard searching free apps for tricks on how to know what things will look like. The apps didn’t function well and I lost my password to setup new apps.
You are exceedingly helpful I took a few interior design classes and didn’t learn as much in a semester than I did with you in 10 minutes.
So great to hear that! Thank you!

Thank you! 😃 It's nerve wracking for me to speak in front of a camera, yet I try very hard not to show it but speaking calmly.
You're amazing, you really need to be more out there in youtube land. I've learned so much from you.
Thank you! I really appreciate this! :)

Sounds like painting the book shelf might be best. Mixing warm and cool toned wood is not recommended.
This was really helpful.
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that.
Thank you! Problem is I will have a wooden floor and I'm just not able to identify the underlying colors..
Perhaps if you send me an image I could help you identify the underlying colors of your wooden floor...
That would be super nice of you. Can I send pictures on RUclips?
You can send pictures of your floor and space at velvet@te-esse.com
@@velvetkaratzasteessebyvelv7114 Im in the same boat, I have a floor which is hard for me to identify the undertone of.

nicely explained
Thank you for this! I always find it hard to explain something that I take for granted, so it's good to know if my message comes across!

Yellow is certainly a very happy cheerful color, so if you are consistent with it then it could look great.
