A Look at Teak As a Source For Furniture

Furniture as a word represents movable items or objects that act as a extension to activities of the human body in its daily activities. As an example you have beds to spend the night and chairs to sit down. Furniture can also be used as a appendage for storage for items like clothes, tools or books.

The types of furniture are utility, artistic or decorative. The materials used for making furniture can be wood, iron, plastic or steel.. Over the centuries man by experience has learnt that the most durable material for manufacture of furniture is teak. Teak( Tectona) is a genus of tropical hardwood trees belonging to the Verbenacea family. It is mostly available in Asia which has the maximum number of teak forests anywhere in the world. Indonesia and Myanmar in SE Asia are famous as teak exporters.

These trees are fairly large and grow to heights of nearly 30 to 40 m. Some of them become giants. Three species of teak that have been identified by scientists.

a) Tectona grandis. This is the most common teak tree and is available in fairly large numbers in Assam in India, Indonesia and Thailand..
b) Tectona hamiltoniana also called Dahat Teak is a local species confined to Myanmar formerly Burma. The Burma teak is derived from here..
c) Tectona philippinensis is also called Philippine Teak is common to the Philippines.

Both the teak trees native to Burma and Phillipines is greatly endangered because of indiscriminate use. Teak wood is heavy wood that is weather resistant. Hence it is used for manufacture of outdoor furniture like garden and Patio furniture. An example of its use is in the Public parks all over England where some of the benches are over 100 years old. Teak wood is also used for indoor flooring as it is durable and water resistant. The natural oils inherent in teak wood make it excellent for flooring and furniture. This is particularly helpful in outdoor conditions. Another reason for the preference of teak for furniture is the fact that its property of termite resistance is legendary. Termites find it more difficult to eat away teak than other types of wood. The Victorian age was the boom period for teak furniture and ornate furniture was made.. This furniture though over a 100 years old is available for sale at auctions and is much coveted. This can be termed the romantic age of furniture.. Presently furniture made from this wood is again going up in the popularity graph.

Teak wood is high quality timber and has tremendous demand. People all over the world covet teak furniture. Java teak which has intrinsic beauty, long life, and quality is among the more prized woods. Teak wood is much in demand for handmade furniture, using skilled carpenters. In addition it is excellent for reproductions of Colonial & Traditional European designs. Teak furniture is longer lasting product and has the distinction of lasting for tens of years. Armchairs, sitting benches, admirals, dressing tables, garden chairs are the forte of teak wood.

However the indiscriminate cutting of teak trees like in Assam has led to complete depletion of teak trees in the forests there. The Indian Government has perforce restricted the sale of Assam teak. The result is that now to get good quality teak wood for furniture from Assam and Burma is difficult. Availability is at a exorbitant price. In contrast the Indonesian government by its conservation methods has ensured that all teak trees in their plantation are only cut after 80 years which is optimum period for the teak tree to flower.

However it cannot be understated that Teak wood is the most durable and reliant of all types of wood. Its resistance to the vagaries of weather and termites is a established fact. Thus buying teak furniture will always be an asset, something that remains in your home for decades.

6 Home Decors You Probably Did Not Even Think Of

When decorating your home from scratch, it is so easy to think about the big guns. You know the loud accents, the glorious chandeliers, stylish accent furniture, large framed mirrors, oil painting on canvass, and the like. Because of the irresistible beauty of these main home decors, most people forget the small ones.

However, it is the little additions that make or break a great home décor.  Remember how a tiny little pair of shoes can ruin a rather marvelous gown? To avoid such small mistakes that can go big, here are six home decors most people neglect:

Decorative Bowls
You probably thought of decorative bowls as useless. But in fashion, utility is the last thing in mind. As long as it is stylish, it is an important part of the whole. It can be classical like the Cal Lighting Traditional Resin with Reverse Painted Glass Bowl or modernistic like the Cyan Design Small Concentric Bowl. These can also make fine candy holders.

Decorative Boxes
Decorative boxes can fill up a rather annoying gap. If there is an eyesore space and cannot think of anything to put in there, try adding a decorative box instead. This works well beside sofas, accent tables, accent chair, and the like. These will make fine storage for miscellaneous items that would otherwise just cling around.

Ceiling Medallions
Go and give some life to a rather boring ceiling. You do know that walls are easy to decorate right? But ceilings do not share the same sentiments. But with ceiling medallions, you can finally breathe new life to your ceiling. These can also be used to patch up imperfections so it serves a double purpose.

Indoor Fountains
You probably only thought of seeing fountains in your garden but they can also make fine indoor home décor items and give your house a new life. With flowing water, it is especially perfect for spring themes. And do not worry about it being too overwhelming. There are indoor fountains especially designed for indoor use.

Stylish Bookends
A book shelf or cabinet of fine wood and varnish can be really stylish to boot. But to add some more details, why not add an equally stylish bookend? Yes, bookends are usually neglected. But with an ingenious choice like the Uttermost Karika Transitional Bookend Set, you might just be surprised of its beauty.

Stylish Statues
Vases lamps and desk clocks often dominate table tops. But here is a fresh new idea for you: mini statues. Especially for Victorian interior design, a fine statue can add a more serious atmosphere to the overall weight of the design.

So, did you neglect one or two of the items mentioned above? If so, perhaps you can give it some time to return to the drawing board and add some new stuff into your house.

Victorian Door Numbers

Paris is said to have been the first city to introduce house numbering, on the Pont Notre-Dame in 1512. British houses started being numbered with the Postage Act of 1765. In rural areas many houses remain named but un-numbered. The odd numbers will typically, although not always, be on the left-hand side as seen from the centre of the town or village, with the lowest numbers at the end of the street closest to the town centre. House numbering is common in many areas of the world, all with a different system or plan.

There is nothing more frustrating than trying to find an address on a building or home only to discover that they don’t have house numbersdisplayed, or that they are faded and worn off.  These Victorian house numbers are available in a variety of sizes range from just a couple of inches to a much larger six inch size, making it possible to see your house number from a greater distance.   There are also a couple of different finish options available, with polished brass providing a very classic look.

While some people may find the look to be just the touch your home needs, others want something a little more maintenance free.  The solution for this can be found with our hand-forged iron numbers.  The four inch size is perfect to view house numbers mounted on doors and walls of homes to be seen clearly from the street.  The hand-forged aspect adds a touch that cannot be matched in any other finish.  This style blends very well with a variety of different door hardware, including cast iron, oil rubbed bronze, and other dark finishes.   Since these numbers are hand forged, no two are exactly alike.  This adds a wonderful touch and provides a unique quality that many people are looking for.  House numbers, while some people may think are obsolete, are absolutely necessary, especially if an emergency should arise.  Mounting screws are included with each number to allow them to be securely attached to any building material.  It is possible to add a little bit of a sheen on these numbers if you like by polishing them, but most people prefer the darkened areas that are created when these numbers are struck during the forging process.
