Bamboo Furniture | Living Room Furniture

Close your eyes and envision a house nestled in the mountains and surrounded by trees with smoke emanating from the tall chimneys, as you do this put your feet forward and take a step towards the entrance. Open the door and switch on the lights and then look around the room and feast your eyes on the flexible and lightweight furniture, a new trend that is picking up in the furniture market. Actually I would say that bamboo has always been used to make products, it is just that this material is getting its exposure a little later than other materials, however better late then never!When it comes to writing about anything that is closely related to the home I could go on and on, but I know I have my limitations too so here I will concentrate on stating the reasons why opting for this eco-friendly furniture is a good choice.Basically bamboo is a strong and tough material that resists shrinkage and swelling.

Bamboo furniture is blessed with a delicate grain that gives it a style of its own. Thirdly, bamboo is good for your environment as it grows quickly and can be harvested over and over again.Bamboo furniture is of two styles; the first one will look good around a pool or even in a tropical themed room. The second style of bamboo furniture is made through a process of cutting strips of bamboo, boiling them in order to make them resilient to mildew and bugs and then gluing the strips together. After they are stuck together edge to edge, the panels are pressed together in order to make a multi-layer resembling wood, this can be shaped into any kind of furniture. This kind of bamboo furniture resembles hardwood furniture and comes in both light and dark shades and finishes.Carbonised is the term that is actually used for a piece that has been heated for a long time in order to make the bamboo darker. Bamboo furniture that has been carbonized and laminated will prove very strong and durable.
