Choosing furniture
…whatever is temporary will become permanent, to aid a bit your journey we created this bit of experienced based useful reminders
Styles
Furniture is not just a practical necessity, it is also an expression of style and personality. Choosing the right type of furniture can help create a unique and comfortable atmosphere in your home. From classic to modern, there are countless styles to choose from. In this article, we will explore some of the most popular styles of furniture, including Art & Crafts, Classic Contemporary, Contemporary, Tuscan, Country, Eclectic, Modern, Shabby-Chic, Traditional, and Rustic. Whether you’re looking for a timeless look or a trendy feel, there’s sure to be a style that fits your taste and needs.
What do you want to buy
When it comes to buying furniture, there are different levels of personalization available.
From off-the-shelf options to bespoke pieces designed specifically for a particular space, the range of choices can be overwhelming.
Understanding the differences between each option can help you make an informed decision that best fits your needs and preferences. In this article, we explore the four main levels of personalization available in the furniture industry: Off the shelf, Custom, Bespoke, and Unique.
Wood
Wood for furniture is split in two main categories: hard wood and soft wood.
Hard wood comes from trees that shed their leaves in winter while soft wood comes from trees that stay green all year round. Somewhat! Let say that is very old way of looking at wood, and it is a good rule of thumb.
When people say hard wood they mostly think of Oak, Walnut, Ash, Maple, Beech and when they are saying softwood they think of Pine, Poplar, Linden.
Technically the hardness of wood is measured on Janka scale, name after it’s inventor. Janka measures the force needed to insert a 11.28mm steel ball halfway into a woodboard.
Finishing guide
This finishing guide covers several options for finishing furniture, including Natural Oils, Bees Wax, Danish Oil, Lacquer, Paints and Stains.
Natural oils are a great choice for furniture inside the house, as long as they are not in contact with alcohol. They taint the wood slightly but preserve the natural look and feel of the wood. Bees wax is a natural finish that is sensitive to interactions with the object and is best used as an additional finish after natural oils to add extra shine. Danish oil is a varnish that brings out wood fibers and provides excellent protection. Lacquer is a great option for surfaces that see a lot of use or for exterior settings. Paints come in a variety of colors and types and can be used for both interior and exterior furniture. Finally, stains are used primarily for coloring wood and do not provide protection.
Materials, cost & quality
Now a days, the contemporary art had shown us that when it comes to furniture it can be build out of many materials, but few things have defined it as constantly as wood.
The Cost & Quality, can vary wildly and mI don’t see many ay not necessarily be related to the intrinsic value of the furniture you are buying.
Low quality furniture will last few years and you will notice pretty soon the signs of wear and tear. Although cheap, it is sold at high profit margins and usually poor quality of manufacturing. It is usually worthless investing a lot of time and effort in low quality materials that still have to deal with resistance to wear and tear. This is the case of anything made out of Particle boards.
Sustainable existence
When we calculated our Carbon Footprint, we took into consideration the impact of the business itself as well as the impact of the households of those involved in the business. Let’s call that sustainable existence.
Some of CO2 may not be related to the business, however, if we are to take a responsible approach we need to consider the complete impact of Madero, not only what is convenient. As not harming the ecosystem further is very different than mending the damage done so far

The effects of wood in interior design
The presence of wood in interior design has been found to have significant positive effects on both mental and physical well-being. As part of the biophilic design concept, incorporating elements of nature into interior spaces has become a trend in response to the detachment from nature caused by urbanization. Studies have shown that wood can reduce stress levels, increase concentration, productivity, and overall satisfaction. The physical and psychological effects of wood’s presence can create a home that improves our lives.

Dusting
do it regularly with a dry soft cloth as part of your house maintenance. Refold the cloth often to avoid scratching the surface as the cloth gets dirty. Don’t use any chemicals..
Cleaning

Waxing & oiling
do it with a soft cloth only if necessary and only after you are sure the surface is clean. Otherwise, do it every 5 years or so to keep up the surface luster. Clean beforehand.
