The Furniture History in a Nut Shell

You may never have given much thought to it but, the history and origins of furniture are quite diversified and fascinating. The modern day furniture went through countless transformations to reach where it is today.

Furniture was manufactured and used in a different way in different civilization. For example, when man was still learning to farm his lands, i.e. the prehistoric times, they built houses and basic furniture need such as dressers and beds with stones. In the Ancient Egyptian civilization, it was accustomed that the rich lived in big and comfortable houses with wooden furniture while, the poor had furniture made of stones and houses of mud. Next, the Greek civilization, also, made wooden furniture but, it emphasized on chests that were hung by pegs on the wall and couches used as beds.

Categorizing Furniture

Categorizing furniture seems to be impossible because of its variety but, when you give it some thought it becomes fairly easy to divide furniture into categories. For the sake of ease, furniture is divided into categories by the purpose for which it was designed. For example sitting, laying or sleeping, entertainment etc.

Decorating Your Home

Interior designing is the tool you use to give your home a makeover. You carefully decide on the paint and then on the furniture you want repaired, thrown out or bought. You may decide to buy different furniture sets for your home, and different sets for your outdoors. Buying the right outdoor furniture is as important as the indoor furniture; such that the outdoors is not at a complete contrast to your indoors.

Your Home’s Outdoors – A blessing

If your home has an outdoors, then, consider yourself very lucky. Your home’s outdoor could be your balcony, your porch, your patio, your garden or even your backyard. Whatever kind of “outdoors” your house has, it can be your ticket to a great number of memories and a great number of leisurely hours.

Buying the Right Outdoor Furniture

Select outdoor furniture that can serve your leisurely needs, as well as your formal needs (dinners or parties). As the furniture will always be outdoors, you will need to buy furniture that is durable and can withstand weather changes.

Resin Outdoor Furniture

Resin is a kind of plastic. It is extracted from plants, and then synthetic chemicals and compounds are added to create a hardened material, which resembles plastic, to manufacture furniture. Resin is rigid, strong, durable and safe to have around children i.e. it’s perfect for the outdoors.

Resin Patio Furniture

Patios are any uncovered area attached to your house. Patios usually have concrete or cement floors; hence, you can afford furniture made of other materials such as aluminum but, as mentioned earlier resin furniture has the best ability to withstand weather changes. For example chaise lounge and bistro sets with an umbrella stand.

Garden Furniture

You have to be careful while selecting furniture for your garden because; gardens have uneven surfaces and moisture in the soil, which, can be damaging to certain metals and materials, for example wood. In this case as well, resin furniture will be the most economical solution but, wrought iron garden furniture can be another option.
