Many more people are choosing pine furniture for their dining rooms these days.
But what is it about pine dining room furniture which makes it such a popular choice?
Well, there are many good reasons for choosing pine, with compatibility, durability and individuality being chief among them.
Individuality
Perhaps the greatest appeal of pine is that of its wonderful grain which is evocatively dark and stands out against the paler wood. Furthermore, because pine frequently has a good selection of knots within the wood, it can be used to create furniture items which are completely unique. Naturally, such uniqueness can make a wonderful addition to any home as it can provide a sense of individuality that many other material selections sadly lack.
Compatibility
One of the other great appeals of pine furniture is its relatively neutral colour. Indeed, pine is not a strong or deep colour; therefore it blends in very effectively with almost any other choice of colour. This means that regardless of whether a dining room is decorated with strong, bold colours or pale, neutral tones; pine dining room furniture looks right at home in either case. In addition, pine is also able to blend in very well with practically all other types of wood.
Durability
As well as being able to blend in with existing styles, colours and woods; pine also provides great durability and strength. In fact, a great way to appreciate the durability of pine is to examine any antique pine furniture piece and marvel at the excellent condition it is in. Indeed, woodworkers through the ages have always enjoyed working with pine not only because of its ability to be used in a wide range of styles but also because its reliable strength ensures that it will last for many, many years.
