WOODEN FURNITURE: PROS & CONS

Furniture plays an important part in our lives and our households. It fills not only the place, but also our heart. We feel emotionally connected to the furniture of our home may it be a sofa or wardrobe or even dining table. Home will be just an empty space and will be incomplete without the furniture.

Nowadays, a lot of furniture is made using compressed wood or plywood. Traditionally, carpenters would use solid wood without much processing or industrial alteration to make furniture. Despite having a variety of synthetic alternatives, Indian households still prefer solid wood furniture because of its durability and artistic value, as wood furniture supports fine carvings and reparability.

It is also important for furniture to show off your personality and personal cherishes through your own personalized home interior design. Set the mood and atmosphere that you would like to come back home to, by choosing the right furniture and other home decor elements.

We understand the dilemma of choosing the perfect furniture for your home and hence, we have provided you with a list of pros and cons to consider while choosing between wood, plywood, metal, plastic or any other material. It is important to consider various criteria such as where you live, the features you want, durability of the furniture in a given climate and maintenance costs before choosing the perfect material for your home furniture.
