Designing your living room with solid wood furniture
The living room plays a central role in your home. A room often used for entertaining guests and relaxing after a long hard day at the office. This room will represent your home and needs good quality furniture to withstand daily wear and tear.
The living room is the centre for entertainment. It will be in this room that your television and audio equipment are likely to live. Stylish, practical solid wood furniture is a must. Furnishing your living space with solid wood pieces that complement your interior will also add warmth, luxury and elegance.
Solid wood furniture means that all parts of the furniture are made from solid timber, which is either a softwood or hardwood. No veneers or particleboards are used.
Good quality solid wood furniture will have dowelled and dovetailed joints, which indicate a high degree of craftsmanship. Here at Puji all our solid wood furniture is made from reclaimed solid teak from Indonesia. We respect the environment and do not cut down trees to make our furniture. Instead, we work with wood that has withstood the test of time, giving it a warm, rustic appeal certain to last several more lifetimes. Our pieces have been designed so they offer an elegant yet understated sophistication. We offer our designs in a variety of sizes and finishes so you are bound to find an item that suits your home.
A modern trend is chunky solid wood furniture in a dark stained finish. Dark solid wood furniture enhances any space, adding a warmth and presence, which is both cosy and inspiring, relaxing and tranquil. There is a certain elegance that only dark wood can capture and a solid robustness that translates itself in rich and welcoming tones.
The darker tones of stained teak are full bodied and neutral, making it transferable to any setting and suited to all colour schemes. Dark solid wood furniture works well in any home design - whether it is period, classical, modern or contemporary - and can be dressed to suit your choice of accessories.
For the living room, why not consider a chunky solid wood coffee table, our Henry Coffee table will offer a beautiful focal point to your room. Stylish and classic in design, it is made using 100% reclaimed teak. The natural imperfections in the wood ensure each piece retains its original beauty and charm. This robust look makes for a rustic yet elegant statement piece. The Henry range captures the true luxury that teak can bring to everyone's home. Place a rug underneath to soften the lines of your furniture and the look will be complete.
If you want a more simple and streamlined coffee table the Klasik Coffee Table offers a fine wood grain with a beautiful and contemporary design. Having no traditional over hangs and tapered legs makes this piece both versatile and elegant complimenting any home. Made from solid wood, it is stained to a beautiful satin dark brown.
For those who prefer lighter tones, solid wood furniture in a natural finish can help open a space and make it appear more airy. Designs that are sleek in appearance and more streamlined can also suit smaller spaces. Left unstained, there is a natural rawness to teak wood which is particularly interesting. The wood has rich earthy green, red and copper tones that run through the grain, and no two pieces are the same. All of our pieces are also available in a natural finish.
All living rooms need an audio visual unit, so we designed ours to offer a visually pleasing solution to home cinema set ups as well as the more modest viewing systems. The one thing they have in common is that they are made from solid wood featuring traditional joints and bracing for strength. This ensures they can support even the largest plasma screens, safely and securely.
The solid, practical Flow TV unit is a perfect solution for housing a plasma screen television. It uses all available space with no over hangs and its central compartments will house your DVD player, gaming consoles and cable boxes. Its two generous cupboards also offer great storage for your DVD collection and other equipment.
For those with a big expanse of wall the Texture Low plasma offers two double cupboards and central drawers. Made from solid reclaimed wood this contemporary design sits on a steel base with modern sleek handles.
Once you have decided upon your coffee table and entertainment unit, you may need to consider additional storage in the form of bookcases or sideboards. Purchasing a solid wood bookcase is made easy at Puji. Our extensive range of bookcases offer both traditional and contemporary designs. We have designs that offer cupboard storage like the Flow Bookcase whilst others offer a combination of different sized display sections like the Cubic Display Unit.
