One of the biggest advantages of solid wood furniture is its versatility. Unlike mass-produced furniture made from synthetic materials, real wood can be stained, painted or refinished to suit almost any interior style. This means the same piece of furniture can look completely different depending on the finish you choose.
At Lotters, many customers choose to customise their furniture with professional staining or painting to match their home décor.
Natural wood finishes:
Natural finishes highlight the grain and character of the wood. Light stains are popular for modern and Scandinavian-inspired homes, while darker stains create a more classic or rustic feel.
This style works particularly well with items such as:
- Dining tables
- Coffee tables
- Bookshelves
Classic stained furniture:
Staining enhances the colour of the wood while still allowing the natural grain to show through. Popular stain tones include:
• Oak
• Walnut
• Mahogany
• Dark espresso
Stained furniture works beautifully in living rooms and bedrooms where warmth and texture are important.
Painted furniture styles:
Painted furniture has become increasingly popular for modern homes. Neutral tones such as white, charcoal, and soft grey create a clean contemporary look, while bold colours can turn a simple piece into a statement item.
Painted furniture is especially popular for:
• Kids rooms
• Kitchens
• Storage units
• Cabinets
Professional painting and staining:
Lotters works closely with Stainshop, the official painting and staining partner for Lotters furniture. Their team specialises in transforming solid wood furniture with professional finishes designed to last.
Customers can choose from a range of colours, stains and finishes to match their interior style.
