The Benefits of Wood Furniture in the Dining Room

Wood furniture is a beautiful addition to your dining room space.

Your dining room is one of the most important rooms in the house: it's the place where family and/or friends gather for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That being said, you want it to look its best, but also be functional. A great option for function and beauty in your dining room furniture is wood furniture. Here's why: 

It's durable

Solid wood is one of the most durable options for wood furniture, making it a great choice for your dining room table, the place that arguably gets the most use. Its durability is attributed to its denseness and compact structure, perfect for families (because we know kids can get a little messy)!

It's beautiful 

Wood is so beautiful primarily because it reminds us of nature. We tend to picture warm, sunny days in the forest, or beautiful mountains with varieties of trees when we think of wood. This is why wood materials bring warmth, vibrance, and character to any room, and they often signal traditional values. Traditionalism is a perfect element to bring to any family room, so wood is perfect for dining. 

There are so many varieties 

Wood furniture is convenient because there are so many styles, finishes, and stains to choose from. The options are virtually limitless, so wood furniture can fit into any room of any color with any accent. A few popular species include Oak, for its cozy aesthetic and minimal shrinkage; Mahogany, for its natural, reddish aesthetic; and Walnut, for its density, depth, and resistance to temperature changes.

Cherry. Cherry wood is possible the most popular in furniture making. Cherry has a rich, beautiful color, making it the perfect choice for nearly any piece of furniture. Manufacturers appreciate the flexibility of cherry wood. Another great feature is its smooth grain!

Walnut. We love walnut furniture! This species of wood offers a straight-grained hardwood look and a wide range of color. You can choose a lighter more yellow color or a dark chocolate brown. It’s all up to you! Typically, walnut is used for headboards, antique-style dining tables, and mantels.

Oak. People tend to appreciate oak because of its unique look. It’s very grainy, and you can choose from red or white oak. The red variety ranges from brown to pinkish red and has a swirling, water-like pattern. Meanwhile, the white variety has a tiger-stripe grain with yellow rays and flecks.

Maple. If you’re looking a wood species that will be durable and can handle heavy-duty use, maple is for you. It’s perfect for a dresser or chest as maple is the hardest type of wood around. You are also sure to love its creamy white hardwood that can occasionally reveal a reddish color.

Pine. For those of you who love lightweight, trendy, rustic furniture pieces, you’ll want to choose pine. This wood is perfect for farmhouse-style tables and can be identified by its yellowish, whiteish color and brown knots.
