Comment décorer sa maison avec des meubles en bois noir ?

Black wood furniture is becoming increasingly popular in interior design projects. Elegant, modern, and timeless, it adds depth and a high-end touch to any space.

At Fabrique Allwood, we offer you a new local and ecological option: black lacquered ash from Quebec , a wood full of character to discover in our collection of solid wood tables . Here are some ideas for integrating it into your decor.

What decor with black furniture?

Black furniture for a residential space

In a home, a black piece of furniture becomes a strong piece around which the entire layout can be structured. Whether it's a solid wood dining table , a bench or a console table, black wood pairs perfectly with light walls, natural textiles (linen) or steel elements to create a chic and modern effect.

It's also a great option for minimalist design lovers, as black wood naturally adds a sophisticated touch, without needing to overdo it.

Black furniture for a commercial space

In a restaurant, office, or boutique , black wood creates a cozy, professional, and upscale atmosphere. It's an increasingly popular choice among architects and designers for adding character to a space without overwhelming it. Black lacquered ash is also highly durable, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.

What style of black wooden dining table should you choose?

A chic and understated table: the Somerset

With its straight lines and sleek design, the Somerset table in black ash is perfect for modern and minimalist interiors. It fits equally well in a dining room or a meeting room, adding an elegant touch without overpowering the rest of the room.

An imposing table with a strong character: the Cayuga

If you are looking for a rustic solid wood table with a strong style, the Cayuga table is perfect. In black ash , it immediately catches the eye with its generous top and square-shaped legs. It's the perfect table to anchor a large space and create a wow effect from the entrance.

Black lacquered ash from Quebec: a local and eco-responsible wood

At Allwood Factory, our ash comes from the urban ash trees in Quebec , cut down because of the emerald ash borer, a devastating insect.

Rather than sending them to landfill, we give them a second life by transforming them into durable and aesthetically pleasing solid wood furniture .

We work with our local partner, the CBVU (Centre de valorisation du bois urbain) , to recover these dead trees and give them a new lease on life in the form of tables, benches or consoles.

Aesthetically, black lacquered ash is very rich: its open grain remains visible under the finish, which gives a subtle texture and a unique visual depth .


Sustainable wood species in our Montreal workshop

From our cabinetmaking workshop in Montreal, we make each piece of furniture by hand, using wood from sustainably managed forests , or reclaimed urban wood.

You have the choice of six solid wood species for your projects:

  • Maple
  • White oak
  • Cherry
  • Natural ash
  • Quebec black ash
  • Walnut

All our furniture is available for custom order or directly through our online store .

Whether you're looking for a large solid wood dining table , a custom desk, or a unique piece of furniture for your business, we're here to help you every step of the way.

In summary

Choosing black wood is a bold, elegant and environmentally friendly choice. With black lacquered ash from Quebec , you are supporting a local manufacturing approach and the promotion of urban wood .

And if you are looking for a solid wood table manufacturer in Quebec, Fabrique Allwood is here for you.
