How many of us have ever truly given good thought to the type of wood we would like our furniture to be made of?

Would you even know the difference between pine bedroom furniture and oak Milano furniture?

If not, then you are not alone.  There will be a lot of people out there that don’t know the differences out of all the available woods.

A lot of furniture decisions are made according to the prices and the aesthetic look and feel of them; but maybe the type of wood is something you should take into consideration next time you visit a furniture store, namely The Rocking Chair.

Different woods all have different characteristics – kind of like people are different to one another – whether it is the strength, the durability or its tendency to break or split.

And this is when it is important to know the contrast between the woods.

Pine furniture is one of the most popular options available to you, and here we are going to tell you why.

Naturally, pine is a very appealing colour; its lightness means it can be painted practically any other colour, if that is what you want to do.  When it is manufactured correctly then it is a beautiful wood that has a very appealing wood grain that is good to be shown off.

In its natural colour, pine has the elegant feel to it and adds a sense of warmth to your home.

As well as being naturally beautiful, pine is also a very strong and durable form of wood.  Giving pine the care and attention it deserves means it will hold up in its quality for many years.

Purchasing high quality furniture for your home is definitely the best thing to do; if you go for the cheaper option then it is likely to be of less quality, which means you will have to replace it more often than if you go for the higher quality.  Admittedly, this is likely to be more expensive, but will last longer so therefore it is evened out.

At the same time, pine isn’t as expensive as some of the available woods, like oak, but it still has the same qualities.

Due to the light colouring of natural pine wood, many pieces of pine furniture have a very country, warm feeling to them.  You can use pine to create virtually any style of furniture, but it is often used to create furniture with a country or more traditional feel to it.

There is a reason why so many DIY woodworkers enjoy working with pine when they make furniture for their own home.  They are able to save money while creating very stable, durable pieces that last for years and look amazing in the home.
