Can adding plants help balance wood tones in a room with too much wood?

Yes, adding plants helps balance wood tones by introducing natural greenery that contrasts with warm wood colors. Incorporating leafy plants breaks the visual heaviness of brown or honey wood surfaces. Plants add texture and freshen the air, creating scale differences that energize the space. Indoor trees like a tall ficus near the fireplace or small potted plants on shelves can soften wood paneling and floors beautifully.
