You may have an idea of pine furniture in your head. It's probably way out of date and old fashioned and you wouldn't touch it with a barge pole! However, the modern ranges of pine furniture are stunning, with different finishes from wax to paint, there are styles to suit every home and every room in your home. The smallest pieces from wine racks and towel rails to the imposing wardrobes with seemingly acres of storage space are all in modern ranges. You can also get pine office furniture, so if you need to work from home at least you can do it in style!
A room full of the same range of pine furniture can look very high-end and classy. Some of the modern pieces are so well finished you would be forgiven for thinking they are out of your price range. The fact is that pine is still very affordable and it is now more popular than ever for just that reason. The pine furniture of old was often finished with an orange tint to varnish, and the varnish itself looked thick and not very attractive. That was the old style of pine and today you can get the lightest finish on the wood, which not only brings out the character but also can brighten and lighten a room.
The colour of pine varies depending on the finish and there are a number of ranges of painted pine, either finished in an off white or soft cream. The painted pine furniture ranges can look very good in many rooms but especially lends itself to bedrooms. There are some gorgeous wardrobes, beds and dressing tables if you want to fit out your whole bedroom and give it a spectacular makeover. Mexican style pine is something that is incredibly popular, it tends to be a wax finish in a mid pine colour with black fittings such as handles and hinges. There is also a lot of more traditional style pine furniture around and it really comes down to the kind of feel you want for your rooms.
There really is nothing quite like a room full of pine furniture for having a co-ordinated look. Many pine ranges have things for the living room such as your coffee tables, side tables and TV stands and display cabinets. If you want to have the look co-ordinated, you could even go all out and have the same range in your dining area as well. The modern finishes of pine make it much more harder wearing than of old. The waxed finish looks as if it is bare wood, when in fact it has been treated to give a soft sheen. Some of the styles of pine furniture go back to the farmhouse style, which is big, bold and substantial in size.
Much of the pine furniture available today is very affordable and with ranges to suit every pocket, we can all afford to have the beauty of solid wood in our homes. Clever storage solutions for hallways and under stair areas with beautiful solid dining tables, these are all something you will find in pine ranges of furniture. Be bold and go for soft dreamy painted finishes or you can go for the altogether softer natural tones of waxed or varnish finishes. Pine is something we can all have in our home, from a single piece such as a dresser to a full set of bedroom furniture. Whatever you want you can get in pine.
