Cabinetry or furniture at deep, red mahogany offsets lighter ceramic in warm hues, serving as a tonal balance in a light, sunny color scheme. By choosing tile in shades throughout the color wheel from mahogany’s red tone, then you use color complements, which infuse your room with the drama of contrast. Tile in neutral, red tones harmonizes with mahogany by keeping the palette in the same hue family. And tile in earthen umbers brings out mahogany’s richness.
Mahogany With Warm Tones
Backsplash tile in mustard, yellow ochre and Tuscan red adds a collection of spicy shades to your kitchen with mahogany cabinetry, and flooring tile in mustard contributes to the flow of warm tones. Tan flooring tile, too, provides a light, warm base to get a room with mahogany furniture or cabinetry. A mahogany vanity with a top in tan granite harmonizes with shower and flooring tile in tan, and fixtures in antique gold comparison with Paradise when blending with the tan tile.
Mahogany With Color Wheel Opposites
The red undertone of mahogany furniture juxtaposes with flooring tile in blues or greens, and of course green grays and blue grays, all of which are located across from red around the color wheel. Thus a kitchen with mahogany cabinetry is accentuated by flooring tile in celadon green, a medium green gray, along with a visual connection is created by adding backsplash tile in celadon, dark olive and Tuscan red. Cool green tile contrasts with mahogany, so ceramic in teal or mint green adds verve.
Mahogany With Red Tone Neutrals
Taupe is a natural companion for mahogany; the undertones of taupe and mahogany both derive out of crimson. So taupe tile provides a dark accent hue in tone-on-tone rooms which contain variegated red tones. A taupe and Cabinet color scheme is enlivened by peppering the room with glowing accent tile. Backsplash tile in taupe and sea-foam green becomes a focal point in a kitchen with taupe granite counters and mahogany cabinets. Alternatives are mint green or peacock blue and taupe.
Mahogany With Earthen Umbers
By pairing mahogany with umber tile, mahogany’s depth of tone stands out, particularly when the umber tile includes a green undertone. Tile in light raw umber enhances a fireplace surround, and whether the tile’s secondary hues are red, a visual connection is created with coffee and end tables in mahogany. Or highlight texture with uncalibrated flooring tile in raw umber, continuing the theme with Venetian plaster walls in raw umber, which set the stage for a dark mahogany kitchen island along with matching cabinetry.
