Caring for Your Furniture
Your furniture is an investment. To keep it looking its best, follow our care and maintenance guidelines carefully.
General Environmental Conditions
-
Maintain a balanced room environment: avoid extreme humidity, dryness, or temperature changes.
-
Never place furniture near direct heat sources (radiators, stoves) or in direct sunlight.
-
Avoid conservatories or areas with fluctuating temperatures, which can cause cracking and warping.
-
Always allow for air circulation behind furniture.
Wood Furniture Care
-
Use coasters and placemats to protect against heat and spills.
-
Never place hot items directly onto wood surfaces.
-
Dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth; blot spills immediately.
-
Avoid using sprays, silicone polishes, or abrasive cleaners.
-
Move lamps and decor frequently to prevent shading differences.
-
Leave extending tables extended for the first few months to allow even colour ageing.
-
Refrain from dragging furniture—always lift carefully.
-
Knots, shade variations, and colour change over time are natural.
Surface Finishes:
-
Waxed wood: Polish with natural beeswax every 3 months. Avoid water.
-
Oiled finishes: Reapply oil regularly to maintain protection.
-
Lacquered finishes: Wipe gently with a lint-free cloth in the direction of the grain.
Specific Material Care
Feather & Down Cushions
-
Use feather-proof protectors to prevent sharp quills escaping.
Rustic, Reclaimed & Washed Wood
-
Each piece is unique, showing dents, cracks, nail marks, and variations.
-
These are part of the charm, not defects.
Painted Finishes
-
Variations, brush marks, and hairline cracks are expected and part of the aesthetic.
Metal Handles & Fittings
-
Do not polish; they are lacquer-coated.
Marble & Granite
