Indoor Teak Furniture

Teak furniture comes from teakwood trees, which can grow, between 130 and 150 feet in height. These trees are typically found over in Indonesia, Thailand, and other Asian regions. The wood itself is a gorgeous golden dark brown color that comes in straight or wavy lines. Indoor teak furniture products are drenched with rich natural oils, giving these objects a rich, smooth finish. It is because of these natural oils that many outdoor products constructed out of this wood are able to combat nature’s elements at a higher level than other types of wood.

In the old days, many sailors would use teakwood to build decks and benches, because of its long lasting durability. This trait is still found in the gorgeous products constructed out of this type of wood today. Indoor teak furniture is usually not directly exposed to natural sunlight, so it tends to stay darker in color. Outdoor products constructed out of this wood go through a weathering process that causes the piece to turn into a beautiful silver, gray color. This silver, gray patina is what makes outdoor pieces so appealing to the homeowner. However, indoor products are also highly treasured and should be maintained properly.

Homeowners can maintain their indoor teak furniture by using an oil sealer or even some furniture wax. Never use an oil sealer on outdoor teakwood products because too much oil will cause the object to turn into a dark, mildew color. Outdoor teakwood products can remain untouched and left to weather into that beautiful silver, gray coating. No teak product whether it is for indoor or outdoor use should be painted. Manufacturers discourage this because paint will take away from the natural beauty of the wood.

The oil will also cause the paint to crack and peel, giving your beautiful indoor teak furniture piece, an unappealing look. Homeowners can give their interior products a touch up job every now and then as mentioned above, but even if left untreated the wood will maintain a deep, rich golden brown color with an even tone. This color is very appealing to décor enthusiasts, and will blend in perfectly with other interior objects for a showcase design theme.
