The Investment Benefits of Solid Wood Furniture for Your Ottawa Home

When it’s time to decorate any space in your home, you can’t go wrong if you buy solid wood furniture in Ottawa. Wood furniture has been around since the beginning of time and has always been a necessity in every home. These are some of the benefits of investing in solid wood furniture for your Ottawa home. 

It’s Built to Last and Last and Last

This is one of solid wood furniture’s key selling points, and it provides many of the benefits below. When crafted correctly, a solid wood piece is practically indestructible no matter what your family throws at it. And considering it takes very little time, effort or expense to maintain, solid wood furniture is an investment that keeps providing value long after you’re no longer around to enjoy it. 

Style Through the Ages

Solid wood is one of those materials that, regardless of how it was designed, radiates elegance and sophistication. Whether crafted days ago, years ago or decades ago, clean, well-maintained solid wood furniture pieces always look stylish, which is why they often become valuable antiques or family heirlooms that are passed down from generation to generation. It’s also why even after being around for centuries, they’ve never gone out of style! 

Versatile Style

No matter how you style a space in your home, the look and craftsmanship of solid wood furniture make it the perfect complement to that space. Whether your esthetic is modern, rustic, minimalist, industrial, vintage, classic or a fusion of styles, there is always a solid wood furniture piece that will seamlessly blend in and accentuate the look or boldly stand out as the centrepiece of that space.

You can also customize wood furniture and keep it current when redecorating your home. Regardless of what colour you want it to be, there’s a stain that fits the bill.

Individuality

You are guaranteed that every piece of solid wood furniture you buy is one of a kind. Because no two pieces of wood are alike, even if someone buys the exact same piece of furniture made from the same material with the same finish, the knots, grain and colour of your piece will always be unique.

It’s Environmentally Friendly

Not only does every piece of solid wood furniture that is still in use years and decades after it was made mean that one less piece of furniture has to be made, but wood is a renewable resource and modern forestry standards ensure that wood is harvested in a sustainable way. And because it’s readily available, wood can be locally sourced and reduce the amount of harmful emissions that are sent into the atmosphere whenever materials are shipped from place to place. 

Wood is also recyclable, and many solid wood furniture pieces are made from reclaimed wood. If, however, at the end of the day, a piece of wood furniture does end up in a landfill, it’s the perfect material to biodegrade.
