Furniture is a very important part of every home. Stylish items are functional but can really enhance the enjoyment and comfort of our living spaces.

Wood furniture

Furniture made from wood has been enjoying huge popularity across the globe for many years. It is used in all styles of furniture from traditional to modern.

In terms of construction, it is normal for several different woods to be used in a single piece of furniture. For example, the term solid oak or solid mahogany doesn’t necessarily mean that all of the wood used in the construction of the piece is oak or mahogany. It only means that all the exposed parts of the piece are made of that wood. The frame and other parts not visible to the eye, such as the drawers and back of the piece, might be made from another type of wood.

The main beauty of wood constructed furniture is that no two pieces are exactly the same. Even among “matched” chairs in a dining set, there are variations in colour and grain which add to the overall look of the furniture. Wood furniture is generally categorised into three types: 1) Solid Wood 2) Wood veneer and 3) Laminate

The term “solid wood” means that the exposed parts of that piece of furniture are made from one or more types of woods. Veneers and laminates aren’t present in the finished piece. Solid woods are kiln-dried slowly to achieve the required moisture content and are then cut and shaped into pieces that provide the structural integrity of the furniture.

The term “wood veneer” means that thin slices of wood are bonded to composite boards or plywood in order to make that piece of furniture. Veneers are used in both “solid wood” and “all wood” furniture construction. Besides wood veneer, artificial laminates, including those made of plastic, foil or paper, may be used in the construction. Laminates may be bonded to particle board or medium-density fiberboard and are usually photo-finished or may be engraved to simulate the look of wood grain.

A well-applied finish adds the final touch to the beauty and durability of wood furniture. A proper finish usually requires several coats of oil, wax, lacquer or paint to the surfaces. Sometimes the grain is “highlighted” using steel wool.

Some furniture may be elaborately finished and decorated using layers of lacquer or paint applied to achieve a weathered or aged look. Others may feature a gleaming, polished finish for a more contemporary look.

Wood furniture construction is both an art and a science. The beauty achieved through elaborate finishing techniques together with today’s advanced manufacturing techniques results in furniture that is not only very attractive, but sturdy and durable too. Quality wood furniture may last several lifetimes.

Contemporary furniture

With the contemporary furniture style function is the primary focus. Designs are typically simple, striking, sleek and streamlined. The look is modern, the fabrics may be bright and bold without much patterning. Contemporary furniture is usually combined with larger accessories and quality artwork to create a crisp, uncomplicated interior.

If you desire uncluttered living spaces at home, it is advisable to choose the contemporary style which is designed to complement the surroundings and normally comes in eye pleasing geometric shapes. There are people who wish to bring the urban look to their home and make it look neat yet comfortable. For such people, urban styles of furniture are available and they come in small sizes and shapes that easily fit into smaller spaces and apartments where space may be at premium.

Modern furniture

Sharp and linear, clean and crisp, modern designer furniture goes one or more steps beyond the contemporary and may even include retro or Art Deco influences and elements. Wood, chrome, steel and glass also all play a role in this style for the modern home. Upholstery fabrics are often simple but may be textured or tightly woven. In addition, splashes of bold colour work or blacks and greys work well in the modern style, as does the timeless look of leather.

Cottage furniture

Those who have homes in countryside surroundings may find the cottage styles of furniture to suit them best. Fabrics and weather finishes are used to bring warmth to the rooms. All you will see are natural fibers and simple wooden furniture that simply complements the picturesque locations around the home.
