Natural Finishes: Embracing the Beauty of Timber

In a world where artificial materials often dominate, the allure of natural timber finishes is stronger than ever. The trend of showcasing wood’s natural beauty through minimalistic treatments is captivating homeowners everywhere.

A well-crafted piece of timber furniture becomes a work of art when its raw beauty is allowed to shine.

Natural finishes don’t just look good—they feel good too. The warmth of a timber table or the smooth surface of a hand-finished bed frame adds a tactile experience that synthetic materials can’t replicate.

At Lumber Furniture, we use natural oils and waxes that enhance the wood’s unique characteristics while providing protection and durability.
    •    Natural Oil Finishes: These bring out the depth of the wood grain, enhancing the unique patterns in each piece.
    •    Minimal Stains: Light stains preserve the wood’s natural hue while providing a subtle tint that complements any décor.
    •    Handcrafted Touches: Each piece is carefully hand-finished to ensure the wood’s natural beauty takes centre stage.

Mixed Materials: Timber Meets Metal

The fusion of timber and metal is a design trend that has been gaining traction for its ability to blend rustic charm with modern sophistication. This combination creates a stunning contrast, making furniture pieces stand out as focal points in any room.

    •    Dining Tables: Combining solid timber tops with metal frames for a sleek, industrial look.
