Types of wood – Oak

Monday, January 17th, 2011

In this second part guide to furniture and the woods they are constructed of we focus on Oak wood and its characteristics.

Oak wood is known to fall under the hardwood category and is still a very popular choice for furniture construction and has been for the last few centuries. The attractiveness of oak wood in the industry can be down to a number of factors which make this wood top trumps amongst others. The qualities of Oak as a wood are truly exquisite, it is open grained, heavy, tough and durable even when in contact with significant amounts of moisture. Although many of the pieces featured within Furniturethemes are made from Oak, a particular product which you’ll want to look at again and again is our oak mirrors.

Pine Mirrors for the dressing table

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

Quite often the focal point of a dressing table is the mirror that is situated on it. A dressing table is never complete without the mirror sitting proud. It is for this very reason why the selection of a dressing table mirror becomes all the more important. If you have a pine dressing table and want to set this piece perfectly in your room-a matching Pine mirror is a great start to achieving that. We offer a large range of mirrors to complement any dressing table, such as our Rustic pine range will make a fine addition to the room.

Mirrors for any room in your home

Monday, July 12th, 2010

You can’t have a bathroom or a bedroom without some sort of mirror. One of the great things about mirrors is that they can really enhance a room and make it appear and feel a lot larger than it actually this. This is a great technique to utilise when you are redecorating your bathroom or looking to add some finishing touches to a hallway that isn’t particularly big.

With so many different types of wooden framed mirrors available, you are spoilt for choice and there is something to suit everybody needs, budget and décor. Whether you are looking for something more traditional, or something that is slightly contemporary, there will be a wooden framed mirror for you.

Why not take a look at the Brooklyn Reclaimed Oak Large Rectangular Mirror. This gorgeous mirror can be hung anywhere it in your home. It has been made using only the finest reclaimed oak so it has a slightly worn look which is really fashionable at the moment. This key piece would look great hung over your fireplace or in your hallway so you can check your appearance before leaving the house.

Using wooden mirrors to make a room look spacious

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

When you first walk into a home, the first impressions really count. If you are trying to sell your house or just trying to make it look impressive when you come home from work, you want your hallway to look its best.

It can be difficult finding furniture items and pieces to put in your hallway, especially if you are struggling for space. Most people forget that hallways are the first thing that people see when they come to visit your home and it should be as welcoming as the rest of your abode.

If you are struggling for space in your hallway, a mirror can help to create the illusion of more space. Mirrors will reflect any light in the room and fool the eye into thinking that the room is bigger than it actually is. This is a great technique if you are trying to sell your home.

There is a range of wooden mirrors available in all different types of wood. The Denver Oak Wall Mirror in particular is a real favourite and it looks very clean and simple but effective when it has been hung in your hallway.
