Wooden Vs. Steel Furniture. Which one should I choose?
By Shrinivas Vaidya
Furniture is an inseparable element in home decorating. It
is furniture that makes the rooms in a home habitable/usable.
Depending upon the use of the room, the quanity of furniture
changes.
In early ages a lot of emphasis was given on the size of
the furniture. for example the king was give a "throne" which
clearly stated his status within the society. From then
furniture has become a fashion trend with furniture design as
a complete profession in itself.
Primarily furniture comes in two main body frames, wooden and
steel.
The wooden furniture then gets divided into many types of woods
depending upon the type of furniture required. for example
teak wood, cedar wood, cane furniture etc...
The steel furniture also has varieties such as stainless steel,
wrought iron furniture, etc...
Very basic difference between the two types of furniture is the
method of manufacturing them. Lets take a look at some of the
basic pros and cons for these two types of fornuture body
materials.
1) Wooden Furniture
Wooden furniture is the most widely used and opted for type
of material for furniture. The main reason is ease of use. Since
wood is a soft material to work with (as compared to steel),
manufacturing furniture with wood requires less amount of
initial investment in terms of money.
Carpentary skills required to carry of furniture jobs can also be
easily learned, hence it is a popular type of furniture type.
From users point of view, wooden furniture looks very aesthetic
and becuase of its soft nature decoration can be easily made on
wooden surfaces.
2) Steel Furniture
Steel furniture has gained much popularity after the advances
in technology in the metallurgy field. Manufacturing of steel
furniture does require special tools and skills. The greatest
advantage of steel furniture is its strength and lifespan.
Stell furniture can be put under the category of "contemporary
furniture". Becuase of the flexible manufacturing process,
furniture with any size and shape can be easily designed and
manufactured today. Wooden furniture does hace certain limitations
when it comes to shapes.
But our main question remains unanswered! which one should you
go for, wooden or the steel furniture?
Of course there is not a straight forward answer for this question.
You can go for a wooden theme or a complete stell theme design or
a combination of both. But there is a different point of view for
looking at it and that's visual quality..
Both wooden and steel furniture has got their own visual impacts
on our mind. This visual impact will differ depending upon final
fiish of the furniture piece. So it's not just use of the
furniture piece, but aesthetic features also matter a lot.
If you go for "all stell" furniture theme your interior space
might look like a modern and contemporary styles, which might
not be acceptable at times. On the other hand the "all wooden"
furniture theme might give your spane a country type of look.
Because furniture pieces are the first things which are visible
when we enter any room, their selecton greatly affects visaul
qualities of spaces.
There is one more point to consider here. If you are the kind of
person who likes to shift the furniture layout more often, go
for steel furniture. Of course this is not the ultimate rule
of the world. I am saying this simply because it is easy to
transfer the steel furniture from place to place with the
help of wheels.
Thus whatever type of furniture you choose you must consider
that it's not just usability but visual factors are eqaully
responsible for the beauty of interior spaces.
