Wooden furniture is really the most elegant option you have to decorate your rooms.
As I write this article, I am looking at my steel chairs and glass tables and thinking of the grand wooden writing desk that I am working on.
Nothing compares to it.
Elegance is the first thing that came to my mind.
It is the sheer brilliance of wood that makes me grow so deeply fond of it.
There is a certain grandeur about good wood furniture.
It reminds me of that episode in that book 'Three men in a boat'.
In that episode, the author talks about wooden paneling and laments the fact this one person he met does not enjoy the expensive oak paneling in his room.
It is seriously lamentable that good wooden furniture is becoming so very hard to get.
Good thing then that some shops are still selling good wood furniture.
Some of them are online, thank god, because finding a good one in real life would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
And even when I find one that sells authentic furniture, they want to make my wallet bleed dry.
That is a major turn off really.
So I am sticking to online stores for now and there are quite good ones around.
Wooden furniture, a good one, is like poetry and you will know it immediately when you find the right one.
There is certain warmth about wood furniture that cold steel and glass cannot give you.
Actually, 'cold steel' describes the feeling perfectly.
It is like living in the arctic instead of sunny California.
Such furniture always gives me this close to earth feeling that simply permeates me.
It is a wonderful feeling really, looking at a room with a gleaming, freshly polished piece of furniture at its center.
There is a reason why the rich and the mighty spend so much on antique wooden furniture and wooden things like a grand piano from the early 19th century.
Other than the fact that they are insanely expensive (!), they are also absolutely exquisite things to look at.
Although not all of us can afford those (and seriously, where you keep such large things?), a good piece of wood furniture will really lighten up your living room or bedroom.
It will add a touch of class and sophistication wherever they are.
So wooden furniture is really all that.
It is elegant, it is beautiful and it is sophisticated.
It is a gleaming piece of earth that sits in your room and makes you grow fond of its comforting lines and edges.
In fact, there is nothing as comfortable as a piece of wood furniture that is regularly used.
It is just like slipping in to an old, comfortable pair of slippers.
The complete range of feeling is actually inexpressible.
You just have to try it out for yourself.
Just make sure that you get a good piece and make sure that you really like the design.
