Light colors that are still rich in tone are a good choice for pairing with cherry-colored bedroom furniture. While washed out pastels are not a good color pairing, lighter tones of green, pink, or even blue are all good choices as long as they maintain a rich undertone. Lighter-shade choices should also help to open up the room and make it seem larger.

On the Other: Darker Colors Mimic Dark Cherry Wood

Choosing a dark bedding color to play off of the dark cherry wood tones is also an option. Dark olive green tones are a good choice, as red and green are complementary colors. Darker colors tend to make a room look smaller, so the addition of a darker bedding color to already dark cherry wood may have this effect.

Bottom Line

Overall, the most important thing to remember when selecting a bedding color to go with cherry wood furniture is that, since the wood's color is so rich, it is important to pick an equally rich bedding color. Whether your preference is to lighten the feel of the room with a lighter color or to keep the room dark and bold by selecting a darker bedding, just ensure that the color is rich and bold instead of from the pastel family. Shades of green are the most popular color choices.
