Why We All Love Timber in Our Home

Timber is the most beautiful natural material that is made for building classy properties and despite the many composite materials we have today, you can’t beat solid hardwood and with so many timber species to choose from, you can create the perfect ambience in your home.

Stair replacement

Some Australian homeowners mistakenly think that a staircase is set in stone, yet nothing could be further from the truth. Made-to-measure timber stairs can be constructed by a leading timber supplier, where you can order custom staircase kits and with the help of a local handyman, you can replace your old stairs with a classic hardwood staircase. 

Custom made cabinets

Your kitchen is the ideal place for premium hardwood cabinets; talk to a local joiner and see what design he comes up with. Made-to-measure cabinets make good use of all available space; floor or wall-mounted; if you need some extra storage, the joiner can knock up small storage cupboards and shelves.

Antique furniture

Regardless of your decor style, you can add a couple of timber antique furniture pieces; it is in vogue to mix antiques with contemporary these days; start with an online search for an established antique dealer who lives locally and check out their inventory. If you are looking for a specific piece, the antique dealer has nationwide connections and can source anything. Click here to find out why it is best for newlyweds to move into a new home.

Solid hardwood flooring

There isn’t another flooring material that compares with seasoned hardwood; elegant and stylish, solid hardwood flooring is never going to be cheap, but it will last a lifetime. You can re-sand the floor every couple of years, add a coat of stain then varnish and finally, polish the floor for a stunning finish.

Fitted wardrobes

Why not have wardrobes custom fitted into the master bedroom? You design every aspect of the project, including the species of timber, door opening styles and drawer positions and sizes. The joiner would first put together a blueprint and once everything is agreed, the work can begin. A couple of days is all it takes to complete such a project.

Mahogany windows

Why not go the whole hog and install double-glazed mahogany windows? Yes, it is an expensive project but the windows (and doors) will last a lifetime and therefore it is a wise long-term investment. If you would like to learn more about mahogany double-glazed windows, start with a Google search and find a local windows company.

Connecting with nature

Timber is as natural as anything can be and there are many ways that you can bring nature into your home. Whether the kitchen, lounge or dining room, timber makes a room and with handcrafted furniture, your home will exude class and sophistication.
