Examining the lasting appeal of solid wood furniture

By Ion Daz Valdez


The secret to effective interior design lies in finding the right look that fits your home and your own tastes. For many, this means getting in touch with a more time-honoured approach and seeking out ways of achieving a traditional rustic look by using natural solid woods.

Oak and pine furniture is perfect for homes that are designed according to more rustic aesthetics. This sort of furniture reflects the values of a traditional approach to interior design because it is rich, warm and inviting. It also has a good deal of natural appeal that makes it very attractive to homemakers.

Quality is one of the by-words of furniture made from pine and oak. Quality is a major concern because traditional design is all about making items last. Solid woods themselves are known for great quality and the furniture constructed out of them enjoys excellent durability.

Another attraction of going for furniture made from pine or oak is that you get the wonderful versatility of simple solid wood. This type of furniture is versatile enough to go with any features you already have in place, traditional or otherwise. Rugs, curtains, other items of furniture, wall art and fireplaces are complemented by these rich additions.

It is possible to find oak and pine furniture suitable for every room in the house. Beautiful solid wood dining room tables and chairs, coffee tables, sideboards, console tables, bookcases and dressers are perfect for living spaces on the ground floor. Upstairs, oak and pine beds, chests of drawers, wardrobes, cupboards and bedside tables fit the bill.

Very few other varieties of furniture express the style and quality of those made from solid wood. Oak and pine never seem to go out of fashion when it comes to interior design and they have a fabulous rustic history. Fortunately, this kind of furniture is available at competitive prices too.
