For some time now, there has been a real trend in decoration towards a return to authenticity and naturalness.
Do you want to opt for a mountain-style interior but you don't know what type of wooden furniture to choose? Oak, walnut, teak, mango, cherry, pine… There are a multitude of different woods for your furniture. But for a mountain style, we will favor pine furniture with shades of natural wood, which is more appropriate.
Why choose pine furniture?
Very widespread in the world of decoration, pine furniture has many advantages. But then what explains the great success of this wooden furniture? Easy to work, this softwood is greatly appreciated by furniture builders who can make furniture of all kinds.
This characterful wood brings real singularity to an interior. Its species has many knots and veins, which makes the pieces made from this wood unique. It is with these small natural irregularities that we recognize solid wood .
Pale in natural color, pine exists in many variations and readily adapts to the atmosphere of your interior and all styles of decoration. Scandinavian, bohemian, Art Deco, or even industrial style, pine furniture is perfect, whatever its function.
In terms of quality, pine has nothing to envy of other woods. Its robustness and longevity are no longer in doubt. Said to be rot-proof, this resinous wood does not putrefy and therefore does not rot in contact with water. It is also resistant to temperature variations and different climatic conditions. Pine is therefore the perfect wood for a mountain atmosphere in a chalet where the thermometer can easily vary between the cool outside temperature and the heat inside.
Pine also has the gift of absorbing humidity and releasing it, acting as a real natural air filter. This wood attracts little dust and is therefore very popular with people suffering from allergies or respiratory problems.
Well-maintained, pine furniture can last for several generations to ensure charm and authenticity to an interior. Its maintenance is also very easy since a simple wipe with a damp cloth is enough to maintain it daily. It is also important, about once a year, to varnish or wax pine furniture to keep its shine.
What pine furniture should be integrated into a mountain-style interior?
If you want to give a mountain style to your interior, then pine is the wood to choose for your furniture. This wood is available to adapt to all styles. Indeed, we can find solid pine, recycled pine, stained pine, raw pine…
Solid pine is undoubtedly the most widespread. Authentic and natural, this type of pine is harmonious and continuous. Unprocessed, it has a veining and some irregularities which give it all its charm.
The raw pine has not undergone any finishing. It is unprotected and can unfortunately be damaged if left bare. It's up to you to choose whether you want to leave it as is or paint it according to your tastes.
Recycled pine has a different aesthetic than other pine species. This type of wood has therefore already been used before and is reused for a second life. This is why it often features several different shades, which gives it all its charm.
Stained pine is as its name suggests, stained. It is a wood dyed in shades that it cannot have naturally.
Depending on your expectations and the style of decor you want to give to your interior, you can choose from different types of pine and furniture: sideboards, chests of drawers, sofas, tables, sideboards, etc.
