The Types of Wood for Furniture

Hundreds of years when people got tired of squatting or sitting on the floor, they find a better way. Furniture and wooden furniture of the most popular in existence.
There are three categories of forest that is formed into furniture:

1. Hardwood
2. Softwood
3. Composites

Technically, lumber is classified based on how trees production.The term ‘wood’ or ‘softwood’ is deceptive.  Hardwood is not necessarily harder, solid material. For example, balsa wood is one of the most lightweight, and it is considered a timber. As a general rule, though, softwood trees are evergreen year round while the hardwoods create a beautiful autumn foliage that we all love so much.
Hardwoods are considered as the high quality and is the most expensive. Their natural colors vary from dark wood most and they can be stained or painted for even more variations. Hardwood furniture is most likely to warp or bend and appreciated in all of high quality  home. The five most common wood used in furniture production are cherry, walnut, oak, maple and mahogany.
Softwoods are less expensive than hardwood, but they require extra care. Because they are less durable, it’s much easier to scratch or dent softwood furniture. In addition, they often do not have the beautiful grain of hardwood, and therefore does not stain the beautiful.  Pine is an example of soft wood commonly used for furniture. Forests are often used in construction as well that are provided for selected pieces of furniture. In construction, knots and splits are common. Lots of construction wood will not accept paint and the type of wood used for shelves or packing crates.
The softwood used in furniture designated as the “look” of wood and includes most softwood timber that has been custom milled with a pattern or appear on all four sides.

Composites are the cheapest form of wood and are literally manufactured, rather than growing.

1. Plywood: multiple layers of thin sheets of wood glued together and pressed. Plywood is strong and resist swelling, shrinking and warping. There are some furniture made directly from plywood, but generally only used as support when inserted into the furniture.

2. Particle board: sawdust and wood chips mixed with a little glue or resin which is then molded and pressure treated. When used for inexpensive furniture, particle board is usually covered with laminate or veneer. This is necessary because it is easily split and laminated particle board to prevent splitting. However, the downside is that the laminate will separate from the wood because the particle board responds to changes in temperature and pressure with swelling and shrinking.

3. Hardboard: made like particle board but it’s placed under higher pressure so that more powerful.

4. MDF or Medium Density Fiberboard: wood particles bonded with resin and compressed. This is harder than particle board or hardboard, and can be cut like plywood although it is not as strong as plywood. Some MDF is covered with melamine which is durable plastic in various colors. Exposed edges of MDF are rough and need to cover with mold or some other decorative material.

Technically, furniture made of all wood products is the “real” wood furniture, even the composite. Prices and quality range from hardwood to the composite.
The higher you go up the spectrum, the more you can expect to pay for your wood furniture. The good part, of course, is that with care the right hardwood furniture will last for decades or even generations. If you can afford it, always choose to use your wood furniture with furniture fittings of the product – a trusted products, such as Drola, Haffele, Hettich and etc.

Simple Step to ReDecorate Your Home

Sometime we want to update the interior of home, but we don’t know how to start. We don’t have budget to hire a professional designer.

Herewith, the five simple steps to refresh redecorate and/or decorate a room or area of home. These are very simple and cheap, so everyone apply the steps.

Making decision to decorate a room or area of home is much easier than knowing what to do first. Some of homeowner doesn’t make any design changes at all because they’re afraid of making a mistake. Don’t worry! As long as we are committed to our project and willing to follow some simple directions, we can change the look of the room very inexpensively. We’ll assume that the project is the living area, it is currently furnished, and we have a budget of up to Rp.1.500.000,-

The first way to redecorate is to change the wall color. Paint is not expensive, is available in thousands of colors and is one of the simplest methods to refresh and update the look of a room. Do you like to make a bold statement with your fashion and design choices? Then you may be the type of person who will enjoy more color on the walls of their room. If you prefer the quiet, understated look of fashion and design, you might be happier with a subtle wash of wall color. There are also many color choices inbetween these that are equally beautiful. Just be sure to make the decision as to how much color you can tolerate on the walls before purchasing the paint!

The second simple way to redecorate a room is by rearranging the furniture, and it doesn’t cost a thing! I’m guessing that more than a few readers of this article have not moved the furniture in some rooms for a long, long time, and that’s okay. If, however, you are serious about updating the look of a room, it may be time to roll up your shirtsleeves and start moving things around in this room! For example, switch the location of your sofa and chairs. If your room size will allow, pull your sofa away from the wall and angle it toward the entertainment center and/or a nice view out of a window. Experiment with different arrangements of your furniture. It might take some time (and muscle power) but the result will be worth the effort.

You can make some rather substantial changes to the look of a room by changing out the small pieces. One option could be to switch the location of the end tables in this room, and introduce a different lamp. You may decide to purchase a new lamp, keep an existing lamp from the room or bring in a lamp from another area of your home. However you choose to accomplish this, the result is a new and different look for a small investment, and possibly no cost at all. If your project is a guest bedroom, play with the idea of bringing in a piece or two from another room for a different look. Everything in the room does not have to match to look great.

The fourth option to simply and inexpensively redecorate a room is to change the accessories. Take all of the pictures and other ‘stuff’ you have off of the walls and start over again with a fresh eye. It’s best to literally remove the existing wall decor from the room. Get it out of your eyesight as you consider new options for wall accents. Try pictures and wall accessories that you may have in other areas of your home, or purchase one or two new items. Consider introducing a color accent with these accessories that would be a fresh look for the room.

For the final step, let’s take a look at the floor in this room. I’m not suggesting putting down a completely new floor. That is a different discussion and budget! Think about how you can bring color and interest into the space with the addition of area rugs and throw rugs. They can be used at the entry to, or exit from a room, under a dining or cocktail table, in front of an interesting accent piece, etc. Rugs in smaller sizes can be very economical to purchase when you shop around, including online sources. Try this tip and you may get hooked on accent rugs!

Any one of these simple and economical changes can bring new life, drama and interest to a room. Of course, utilizing a combination of several or all, of these suggestions is even more effective. Have fun and enjoy your newly redecorated room!

Your Furniture Arrangement completely with Futton Accecories

The accessories are just a fraction of the investment in your furnishings, but the right accessories make the futon more usable, functional and compliment the overall look of the room they occupy.

It is important to choose the right futon bed, but the accessories that you choose to go along with it make a lot of difference in how much you enjoy the futon and how you use it in your everyday life.

After choosing the best futon frame and mattress for your purposes and budget, take a look at all of the available covers. While just one cover will suffice for many, the investment in a second cover gives you some options that you may like. Choose one durable, comfortable cover for every day use. A print works well, because it hides a few blemishes better than a solid color.

Select a second cover for “dressing up” the futon. Suede, mock suede and twill look expensive and dressy. Save this cover for holidays, parties and special occasions. Make sure the colors of the two covers both work equally well in the room, but they do not have to match each other.

After you have chosen your covers, look for pillows to match. Aside from considering the look of the pillows, think about how you will use them while sitting on the futon. If you or your family plans to do a lot of lounging around on the futon, get two larger pillows to use for back support as you rest against the arm of the futon. Avid readers also enjoy having a small to medium size pillow to set in their lap to support the book.

For a homey look, an afghan or throw looks comfortable draped over the back of the futon. A blanket that contrasts in color and print compliments the futon. In a more formal room, fold the blanket over the arm of the futon when not in use.

A coffee table in front of the futon is handy for food, drinks and other items, but some settings make it difficult to have room for a table. End tables may make the seating arrangement too wide for the area. Having two to four folding TV trays nearby is a good way to add table space when needed and keep it out of the way when not in use. These trays are inexpensive and easily fold up in a linen or coat closet, taking up virtually no extra space.

Having the right accessories for your furniture arrangement makes all the difference in how your family enjoys the room on a daily basis.
