Let's look at why a solid wood bedroom is worth its price.
Advantages of Solid Wood Bedroom Furniture
Natural wood furniture is always relevant and never goes out of fashion. Here are the advantages of wooden furniture for a modern bedroom.
- Wooden bedroom furniture is not affected by bright sunlight or temperature changes. It is sturdy and hard to damage.
- Wooden furniture looks presentable and luxurious, and it fits beautifully into a variety of interior styles: loft, Art Deco, Provence, classic and others.
- A solid wood bedroom is a practical choice, as such furniture will serve for many years without deteriorating. And oak pieces only get better with time.
- Wood is an environmentally friendly material, so wooden furniture is suitable even for allergy sufferers and children.
- The energy of solid wood has a beneficial effect on people's mental and physical well-being.
A solid wood bedroom is designed in line with the overall concept of the interior style. The furniture can be laconic, without unnecessary decorative elements – for example, in a minimalist style, or, on the contrary – with various embellishments: carving, curved legs, balusters – for Baroque, Empire, classic and similar styles.
Solid wood bedroom furniture is not always very expensive. Thanks to modern technologies, the cost of producing it has dropped significantly. The only drawback of wooden furniture is its sensitivity to high humidity. This problem can be avoided by coating it with special paints and finishes.
Which Wood Species Are Bedrooms Made Of?
Let's look at the species used today to make modern bedroom furniture.
Birch furniture sets are common. In its properties, birch is somewhat similar to beech - it glues, stains and polishes perfectly, which makes a variety of furniture shades possible. Karelian birch, for example, has a unique pattern slightly reminiscent of marble. Birch is also used to make veneer.
Pine bedroom furniture is very popular. It is an inexpensive wood that also comes in many shades. And although pine is soft, pine furniture is in high demand because it resists moisture, temperature fluctuations and microorganisms extremely well.
Oak is known for its hardness and strength. Oak furniture lasts for decades. Its shades range from light yellow to brown, with gray and green tones also occurring. Oak furniture takes stain, dries and lacquers beautifully, but its extreme hardness makes carving very difficult.
Beech is not far behind oak in hardness, yet it is quite pliable. Its shades range from pinkish-yellow to red. Bent furniture items are most often made from beech. It is cheaper than oak.
Larch is used not only for furniture but also for decorative elements. This species comes in up to 12 shades, and its wood also contains beneficial phytoncides.
Cherry wood can be considered premium. It is easy to work with and takes lacquer well. Cherry bedroom furniture looks luxurious and presentable, although it may darken slightly over time.
Maple bedroom furniture is made very rarely, as maple wood is very dense and heavy. However, it is ideal as a veneer for furniture finishing. Canadian maple with its attractive texture is in great demand as a premium finish.
The Color of a Solid Wood Bedroom
When choosing a bedroom set, it's important to pick a color that fits perfectly into the room's interior.
A bedroom for a young couple can be done in bright, rich shades: burgundy, red, blue. Such colors are great for energizing and renewing feelings.
Contrasting combinations look good: a dark floor and walls – with light furniture, and vice versa – dark cabinet furniture against light walls.
