Wood Furniture Storage: The Rules

Wood Furniture Storage: The Rules

Wood furniture is an elegant addition to any home, and taking care of it is essential to maintain its beauty and functionality. Here are some quick and easy tips to keep your wooden furniture in top shape:

  1. Keep it indoors: Wood is sensitive to temperature and humidity changes, so it's best to keep it indoors where the climate can be regulated.

  2. Minimize UV exposure: Exposure to UV rays can damage the protective finish and the wood itself. Keep your furniture away from direct sunlight or consider applying solar film to your windows.

  3. Watch the aircon: Air conditioning can also dry out and crack the wood. To prevent this, avoid directing the aircon vent at your furniture. Bonus: this helps keep your food warm for longer.

  4. Maintenance is key: Just a few minutes of oiling or waxing each year can make a big difference in the longevity of your furniture. It not only makes it more durable, but also enhances its shine and beauty.

By following these simple tips, you can extend the life of your wood furniture and keep it looking beautiful for years to come. Remember to keep it indoors, minimize UV exposure, and watch the aircon. And don't forget to give your furniture a little maintenance every year to keep it in its best condition.
