Dark Furniture Doesn’t Work in Small Spaces? Think Again. Think dark furniture makes a small room feel even smaller? Not quite. In fact, deep tones can elevate a compact space—grounding it with a sense of depth, richness, and refinement. At Cozy Manor, we love using black or espresso-stained wood to anchor a room. Unlike light, warm-toned woods that can be harder to match across pieces, dark woods pair effortlessly with almost any finish—from marble to linen, brass to black metal.
