The color scheme is often used for the production of furniture and the creation of interior doors.
Color Features
Alder is classified as a soft wood that does not have a pronounced structure. It has a rich honey, reddish or red-yellow hue. And the design made from this type of wood is distinguished by a huge number of advantages inherent in interior items made from natural wood. Among them are environmental friendliness, the presence of a pleasant smell, light weight, absence of toxic substances in the composition, durability, resistance to impact, positive energy, and so on. But it darkens quite quickly, especially if it comes into contact with metal surfaces. For this reason, furniture production does not use alder in its pure form, painting it in a certain color.
Manufacturers also often use other materials for the manufacture of interior items (plywood, chipboard, MDF), imitating the color of natural alder. A structure with this design is unique. The main feature of alder furniture color is its surprisingly warm aesthetic. You can appreciate the beauty of such furniture using the following photo. Alder-colored interior items are very elegant, stylish, they are perfect for rooms of different styles.
Maturation and reproduction
Flowering begins in the spring - in March or early April, earlier than new leaves appear, or simultaneously with them, which promotes better pollination. Male catkins release pollen, female flowers are mainly pollinated by the wind, and to a small extent by bees.
The pollinated flowers are green, egg-shaped fruits measuring approximately 1.5 centimeters in length. By October they ripen and become dark brown and hard, similar to the cones of coniferous trees. They produce flat seeds with air pockets and two wings, allowing them to fly in the wind and float in water.
The seeds germinate on the surface of the water, and when they wash ashore, they take root there. Empty cones remain on the tree for a long time, including in winter, which is a distinctive feature of this plant.
What kind of furniture is it suitable for?
Alder furniture has a pleasant light brown tone, which is actively used to create residential interiors as a base tone. It has a special softness, positive energy, and subtle charm. Therefore, it is suitable for almost any decoration of walls, ceilings, and floors. In most cases, the shade of alder is selected for the manufacture of furniture, floor skirting boards, as well as interior doors, trim and door frames.
Alder-colored furniture is universal in its aesthetics. It is suitable for premises for various purposes, therefore it is used for the production of various interior items.
| Room | Types of furniture |
| Children's | Children's beds, furniture sets, play corners. |
| Bedroom | One, one and a half and double beds, chests of drawers, sets, wardrobes. |
| Living room | Coffee tables, cabinets, shelves. |
| Dining room | Dining groups, tables, chairs. |
| Kitchen | Kitchen units, shelves. |
| Corridor | Hallways, shelves, shoe stands, pencil cases. |
Thus, alder furniture is distinguished by warm light shades, light weight, and affordable cost, so it can be used to create almost any piece of furniture for any purpose. It is actively used for both residential and office premises. But if you want to create a truly expensive, respectable, luxurious interior, you should use more expensive types of natural wood.
Chemical components
Alder wood, like most of the hardwood group, consists of organic substances and mineral compounds. Alder wood also contains unique tannins, referred to as polyphenols. After cutting down a tree, these polyphenols upon contact with air are oxidized and converted into phlobaphenes.
It is the phlobaphenes that determine the changing color of the tree from white to reddish. Phlobafens also give wood high resistance and strength in water. Alder wood is also rich in tannins; these compounds, when reacting with certain chemical reactions with heavy metal salts in water, form unique compounds that increase the strength of the wood.
Due to these elements and properties formed after cutting the trunk, alder wood is little subject to rotting under conditions of use in an aquatic environment and is resistant to the activity of many pathogenic microorganisms for plants.
Style selection
Furniture pieces in the alder color scheme look very attractive in the interior. Many people think that the main task is not to make a mistake in choosing alder for the style of room decor. But honey shades are universal, so such furniture can be installed in a room of almost any style. But, nevertheless, there are some nuances that should be understood when selecting such interior items:
- alder is not an expensive type of wood, so it should not be used in expensive baroque or respectable classics. After all, it will not emphasize the high wealth of the family or demonstrate the non-standard taste of the home owner. This is simple and affordable furniture for creating simple, functional, elegant interiors in city apartments and country cottages;
- Such furniture is also not acceptable for high-tech, where cold shades that go well with glass and metal surfaces are more welcome. The warmth of honey tones against the background of white and gray high-tech colors will look too catchy;
- Honey tones of wood are most relevant for Provence and country. These are easy-to-implement styles that can be created without any special material investments, selection of expensive accessories, or non-standard textiles. They provide conciseness, simplicity of design, high functionality of interior items, for which alder furniture is so famous. In combination with natural shades in the decoration of the walls, a large number of wooden surfaces and natural fabrics, the interior will turn out to be very comfortable and cozy.
Types of wallpaper
There are several basic wallpaper options. Information about their characteristics, properties and range will help you make a choice in favor of the necessary material.
Vinyl wallpapers
This is one of the most popular wall covering variations. The basis of the composition is special paper or non-woven material coated with polyvinyl chloride. The advantages of this choice include reasonable price and wide range of colors. The disadvantages are airtightness.
Non-woven wallpaper
Many experts consider them the best choice for any room. Such wallpapers are characterized by high moisture resistance, breathability and environmental friendliness. The disadvantages include a small selection of patterns and colors, which, however, is not a problem for classic, Scandinavian, minimalist and constructive styles, which are famous for their laconicism and consistency.
Liquid wallpaper
They are purchased in powder form, which is diluted with water when applied. An excellent solution for creative people. You can experiment with shades and fix the desired one with a protective varnish. This will help prevent the paint from washing off.
Paper wallpaper
Environmental friendliness, air permeability, and a reasonable price are the main positive criteria for paper wallpaper. Negative aspects include the lack of moisture resistance and rapid fading.
Fabric wallpaper
A spectacular colorful coating that will easily fit into the design of any room. The only downside can be considered the lack of moisture resistance, which is especially important for the kitchen and bathroom.
Combination in the interior
Alder-colored furniture is combined with bright wallpaper on the walls. For example, light brown furnishings look very harmonious against a background of yellow, red or light green canvases. Although against a background of light shades, such as gray or white, it looks no less interesting.
For lovers of calm interiors, a combination of alder with peach, pastel pink, and soft blue tones is suitable. A tandem of such shades looks very gentle, not flashy, and is conducive to rest and relaxation. Interiors with similar decor will suit young ladies, gentle natures and people with a calm disposition.
The combination of alder and deep blue colors looks surprisingly calm, but at the same time elegant. The following photo will demonstrate an interior with similar decor. Honey-colored furniture will make the blue tones softer, deeper, more voluminous, and the space itself will be filled with coziness and a relaxing mood. Interiors of this design are preferred by people with positive energy, optimists, and never despondent natures.
Honey brown in tandem with grassy green looks very natural and natural. Such colors are found in nature, so an interior with green wallpaper and alder-colored furniture is distinguished by pleasant energy and natural naturalness. They are perfect for those people who strive to create the most comfortable living conditions for their family.
What colors should not be combined with warm tones of light brown? Against a black background, such furniture will not look very appropriate. It does not go well with lilac, cold brown, or khaki.

Ignition temperature
The combustion heat of alder wood is 4.1 kWh/kg. Alder firewood flares up quickly enough, due to the lack of resin it does not emit fumes, burns for a long time and produces a hot flame. Alder firewood has a delicate aroma that lasts for years.
Due to its distinct smell, alder shavings are used for smoking meat and fish. Sawdust generated during the processing of alder is used to produce pressed briquettes used in fireplaces. The thermal conductivity of alder wood reaches the level of 0.15–0.17 W/(m×K).
Successful color combinations
The right combination of colors is the basis for success when creating a competent and thoughtful interior. In this case, an important role in determining color combinations is given to the purpose of the room. For example, in a children's room, alder furniture in natural light yellow shades will harmonize with delicate pastel colors: pistachio, powder, peach, beige. For lovers of more saturated colors, you can offer a combination with chocolate, bright blue, grass-green shades of walls, curtains, and textiles.
Features of the color of furniture “milk oak”, photos, shades
In the living room, the amber tones of alder furniture are successfully emphasized by the pearl-gray background of the wallpaper, smoky light curtains or silver curtains. However, when combining cold and warm shades, you need something neutral, for example, milky white upholstery and a light carpet. The same technique is often used when combining a kitchen set made of reddish alder with a stone countertop and apron. Beige walls and a light-tiled floor will smooth out too sharp a contrast and balance the palette.
In the bedroom, soft shades of furniture against the background of pastel walls and floors will create peace. Textiles in the color of rich dark green or indigo will help to dilute the overall light palette. Alder-colored furniture has many advantages. The material itself, due to its flexibility when processed to fix the shade, is a favorite among manufacturers among other types of wood. Well-chosen combinations allow you to use alder-colored products in the interior of most styles.
Price
As a rule, the more expensive the material, the better its characteristics. The distribution of the breed in the country is also important. The price increases from birch to pine and alder, followed by beech and the more expensive oak. When it comes to wall bars, this sequence has a golden mean - the optimal combination of cost and qualities that meet the requirements for this sports attribute. This is beech, namely, solid-lamella beech, used for the manufacture of walls in the series marked “PREMIUM”.

Unique characteristics of materials laid down by nature itself
Of course, luxury lumber is noticeably different from construction timber. If we put aesthetic parameters aside and focus the discussion on practicality, the distinctive properties of materials will line up in the following order:
- super strength;
- long service life;
- large color palette;
- increased density of layers, which, by the way, is the reason for the equally excellent texture when cutting the trunk radially or tangentially;
- a unique design that has no analogues.
Features of use, or what helps a craftsman work with elite wood species
All types of lumber from valuable wood varieties are recognizable and allow you to make an unmistakable choice thanks to their unique color. Naturally, this benefits both furniture makers and designers, because they can draw up an absolutely accurate preliminary sketch of their product. However, along with a recognizable color palette, each type has many of its own exclusive “highlights”. Thus, oak is used to give products maximum respectability, beech - to create classic wooden interiors, walnut - for sophistication, etc. There really is a lot to choose from: Mother Nature generously shares her unique creation with us.
Pay attention!
Heat-treated boards deserve special mention, as they become an alternative for those who do not have sufficient funds to use elite wood. Thus, having undergone processing under the influence of extremely high temperatures, many types of wood in their characteristics approach the properties of valuable species.
The most popular material for wall bars is wood. It is not difficult for a simple consumer to understand the differences between wooden and metal wall bars. But the difference between types of wooden raw materials is no longer so clear. And often the buyer faces difficulties when choosing a model, not knowing what to choose: oak, beech, pine, birch or other material.
It should be noted that if the wood species is not suitable for the manufacture of wall bars, then it is not used for this. That is, any model that is already on the market has the right to exist. Another thing is that every buyer must clearly understand what requirements for this simulator are most significant for him.
When buying a wooden wall bars, you need to pay attention to the following points:

But to prevent the interior from becoming boring, do not forget to complement the decor with bright accessories.
It is impossible to choose a better color for decorating a children's room than alder. Furniture in light colors will serve as a wonderful backdrop for creating both a dynamic boy’s room and a gentle room for a girl. Using light furnishings, you can safely complement the design with bright textiles. A good solution for organizing a cozy room is to use pillows and bedspreads in the patchwork style. The use of multi-colored curtains is allowed. Using these recommendations, you can create a comfortable, practical and original room.
