Find the Best Walnut TV Stand or Console Table for Your Home
Walnut wood is a beloved American hardwood option for many different furniture styles. From modern, mid-century designs to traditional and classic styles, let's explore the characteristics of solid Walnut wood furniture.
Natural Color of Walnut Wood
The natural color of Walnut wood is a medium dark tone with lighter streaks throughout the sap wood. The undertones in the wood range from grayish brown to rich chocolate depending on the region the Black Walnut trees grew in.
Rustic vs Select Grade Walnut Wood Furniture
Amish furniture is typically available in rustic grade Walnut wood and select grade Walnut wood. Harvested from the same Black Walnut trees, understanding the differences helps you determine the best choice for your furniture. Rustic grade Walnut includes boards with small, filled knots in the wood and greater color variation with the inclusion of the sap wood. Select grade Walnut wood is more uniform in color and will not have any knots.
The greater yield in manufacturing with rustic Walnut wood makes it an affordable choice compared to select grade Walnut. The interior design trends today celebrate the natural beauty of rustic Walnut, especially with live edge furniture.
Solid Black Walnut wood furniture often features a clear finish, showcasing the natural color and texture of the wood. Light wood stains like Cocoa Light even out the color variation while allowing the natural beauty of the wood to shine. Even the light stains will create a dark overall color on Walnut wood.
Solid Walnut TV Stand Options
Choosing a solid Walnut wood TV stand adds a rich luxurious focal point in your living room. Amish furniture makers in Ohio build a wide range of TV stands, all available in Walnut wood. Large family rooms may consider the 72" wide, Austin TV stand, featuring Walnut wood and Cocoa Light stain.
The Austin living room collection also features smaller TV stands, 48 inches and 60 inches wide. All sizes are beautiful, functional Walnut wood TV stands with storage. Matching end tables and coffee tables complete your living room setup.
Other dark Walnut TV stand options include the classic farmhouse style of the Arcadia collection. The Riverton collection features a simple Shaker style, perfect for highlighting the beauty of Walnut wood.
Walnut Console Table Options
Walnut console tables are versatile throughout your home. Create a welcoming entryway with a narrow Walnut console table, like the Shaker Hall Table, only 12 inches deep. Bonus points for the added storage drawers, helping your surfaces stay clutter free.
Walnut media consoles are available in any custom size you may need. From small corner consoles to large Walnut TV stand with a fireplace, there is something for any space. Common sizes for Walnut media consoles include 36-inch, 42-inch, 48-inch, 54 inch, 60-inch, 72 inch and 84 inches long. Carefully measure your space and consider your TV size to choose the correct proportion for your media console.
Versatile Walnut Furniture Designs
When considering a Walnut TV stand, consider other furniture items like dressers or sideboards. Bedroom dressers without the mirror often make excellent Walnut TV stands. Consider the fact that all Amish bedroom furniture is available in custom sizes. This allows you to create a Walnut wood TV stand to match your bedroom furniture in the perfect size for your space.
Solid wood sideboards and buffets are another furniture item easily customizable to create a Walnut console table. Choose the style you prefer, request solid Walnut wood and size it to fit your home. The ability to create the storage you need with drawers, cabinet doors, or open shelving makes the most of your space.
Comparing Walnut Wood with Other American Hardwoods
Walnut wood is often a bit pricier than other common American hardwoods like Oak or Maple. Adding a warm brown stain like Brown Velvet or Rich Tobacco on Maple wood creates a similar wood tone to dark stained Walnut. This may create an affordable solid wood alternative to Walnut.
Natural Walnut is harder to find a similar wood option for. The fine grain texture is unique to Walnut alone, and the natural color is less red and blonde than Oak or Hickory.
Walnut wood rates at 1010 on the Janka wood hardness scale, a bit harder than Maple or Cherry at 950. Red Oak rates at 1290 and Hickory is the hardest Amish furniture wood option at 1820.
Many common hardwoods tend to darken over time and exposure to sunlight. Walnut wood often lightens slightly in color with age and sunlight enhances any blonde undertones in the wood. This is typically only noticeable on natural Walnut wood, not with dark stained Walnut.
Walnut Wood Color Options for Media Consoles
In addition to natural Walnut and Cocoa Light stained, we offer other color options as well. Light gray stains like Driftbury have a warm color with the dark undertones in Walnut wood. Choose a white painted media console with a contrasting Walnut wood top to brighten up a dark family room. This is a great way to showcase a live edge tabletop as well.
Walnut wood tops for console tables pair beautifully with metal bases as well. A locally welded metal base with a live edge tabletop adds an accent table with a modern feel.
