3 Reasons Why Wood Is the Best Choice for Furniture

March 28, 2019

It’s 2019, and there are so many contemporary designs and new materials to make furniture with. But at the end of the day, the best furniture is what people have been using for centuries— wood. That’s right, wooden furniture is a classic choice and will make your home aesthetically pleasing. If you are thinking about getting new furniture, here are 3 reasons why you should be opting for it:

1.) It Is Renewable and Sustainable

Climate change is an important issue and reducing your carbon imprint matters greatly. It is one of the most eco-friendly options you have out there. Even if you get rid of the furniture someday, you know that it can be used again as it is a renewable material. There won’t be any wastage or pollution.

Wood is raw. It gets replenished and can be used again in harvesting or making other furniture. Wood continues to absorb carbon even after it has become furniture.

2.) It Comes in Different Varieties

There are so many wood types that range in different colors, textures and forms that you are spoilt for choice. You can use different woods for different rooms of the house and it will look visually pleasing. Just make sure to use one type of wood in one area or room of the house.

3.) Longevity

Wood lasts for decades and even centuries. Ever wonder why vintage furniture is worth thousands? It is because of this. You can even sell it for a good price even after using it for decades. Had it been plastic furniture from IKEA, you would have probably sold it for a few bucks at a yard sale.
