Mango wood has a rich palette of tones with a distinctive grain. It’s hardwearing, helping your furniture stay in tip-top condition and making it less prone to scratches over time. It’s naturally resistant to water, too – ideal for those who forget to use a coaster…
Cleaning: Regular dusting is usually all you need to maintain mango wood furniture. Try to avoid using damp cloths, liquids or harsh chemicals which can cause discolouration or damage the finish.
Oak is a strong, low-maintenance wood that’s known for its durability and resistance to moisture damage (handy for those inevitable spills), so it’s a great choice for busy homes. It has a unique grain that comes from the woody fibres at the heart of the tree, giving each piece a one-of-a-kind, timeless look.
Cleaning Wipe the surface with a clean, damp cloth or for a deeper clean, use cleaning products specifically designed for hardwood. Use a hardwood polish to keep the finish looking fresh.
Pine’s grain is usually straight, but it sometimes features knots that enhance its rustic, country-style charm. This lightweight wood comes in natural or painted colourways, so you can choose a shade that looks just right in your room.
Cleaning Wipe down your pine furniture with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive multi-surface cleaner. Clean up spills as soon as they happen to prevent permanent stains. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep your furniture looking its best.
Perfect for the most-used parts of your home and garden, acacia wood is extremely durable, standing up to knocks, bumps and even spills (yep, it’s fully water-resistant). It has a distinctive grain prone to rich colour variations that give this wood a beautiful, unique finish.
Cleaning: Changes in moisture (think humid rooms and damp weather) can cause acacia wood to swell or shrink, so it’s a good idea to treat it regularly with a wool oil. Otherwise, regular dusting with a damp cloth will make sure it looks its best day to day – avoid any perfumed or alcohol-based cleaners.
Marble is a natural stone characterised by distinctive veining across a smooth, polished surface. It might be known for its luxurious looks, but this stone is super hard-wearing and heat-resistant, too – so you’ll be able to keep it for ages.
Cleaning Marble can be easily scratched, or stained with anything acidic (like lemon juice or vinegar), so stick to pH-neutral cleaning products. It’s a good idea to apply a sealant regularly, to give your furniture a protective layer against day-to-day wear and tear.
Ash is a highly durable, flexible wood that’s also pretty low maintenance. Its light-to-medium brown colouring can take stains and polishes well, so it’s a great one for upcycling further down the line.
Cleaning Regularly dusting and cleaning your ash wood furniture with a damp cloth will be enough to keep it looking fresh, but you might also want to apply an oil stain every so often to help protect it from scratches and stains.
This durable wood is extremely versatile thanks to its light brown colouring and fine, even grain, making it a great choice for any room – it’ll adapt to your decor as it changes, too.
Cleaning: Keep your beech wood in top condition by giving it a regular dusting, and cleaning it with a damp cloth. Occasionally oiling or polishing it will help give added protection against warping and swelling caused by moisture changes.
Engineered wood is a cost-effective option made from a mix of hard and softwood fibres and particles bolded together using adhesives. It often makes use of leftovers from sawmills that would otherwise be wasted.
Cleaning Regularly clean your engineered wood furniture with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Make sure you wring out your cloth thoroughly to avoid excessive moisture, which can warp the wood or cause the foil to lift over time.
Birch is a strong hardwood with versatile, light brown colouring and a fine, even grain. Its medium density means it can stand up well to knocks and bumps – great for homes with kids or pets (or clumsier guests).
Cleaning Keep it looking its best for longer by regularly dusting and cleaning with a thoroughly wrung damp cloth. You can oil or polish your birch wood furniture periodically for added protection against warping or scratches.
