Mission style furniture

[Maxx]

Mission style pieces, people may want to integrate warm colors, earth tones, and jewel tones into their design. Rich colors tend to set off the tone of the wood best, and people who fear that materials like oak and cherry will be too dark for a room can obtain mission style furnishings made from lighter woods.

Mission style is a design that emphasizes simple horizontal and vertical lines and flat panels that accentuate the grain of the wood (usually oak). People were looking for relief after the excesses of Victorian times and the influx of mass-produced furniture from the Industrial Revolution.
