Easy-care wooden furniture – what you should consider

Wooden furniture brings warmth, naturalness, and character to any room—whether it's the living room, garden, or hallway. However, not everyone has the time (or desire) to regularly oil or thoroughly clean their furniture. The good news: There are easy-care wooden furniture options that are also easy to handle in everyday life. In this article, you'll learn what to look for when purchasing and maintaining them.

What makes wooden furniture easy to care for?

Not all wood is the same. Some woods are naturally more robust, while others require regular maintenance. Easy-care wooden furniture is characterized by the following properties:

• Durable wood species (e.g. teak, oak, acacia)

• Robust surface treatment (e.g. varnish or hard oil)

• Smooth, closed surfaces

• Insensitivity to moisture and dirt

The right surface: oil, varnish or wax?

The following variants are recommended for easy-care everyday use:

✅ Painted surface

The easiest to maintain. Protects against liquids and dirt, easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Disadvantage: Repairs of scratches are more difficult.

✅ Hard oil-treated furniture

They emphasize the natural grain and are easy to refinish. They require a little more maintenance, but are durable and robust.
Tip: Ideal for those who want naturalness AND everyday suitability.

🚫 Only waxed furniture

Beautiful, but more delicate – more for decorative pieces, not for intensive everyday use.

Care tips for everyday life

This is how your wooden furniture stays beautiful for a long time – without much effort:

• Dust regularly with a soft cloth

• Avoid moisture – dry immediately if stained

• Use microfiber cloths sparingly (they can roughen)

• Use coasters and felt pads to avoid pressure marks and scratches

• Re-oil oiled furniture 1–2 times a year (if necessary)

Which types of wood are particularly easy to care for?

Some types of wood are naturally harder, more resistant to moisture and overall more robust:

• Teak wood : Ideal for indoor and outdoor use, oily wood, very durable

• Oak : Hard, durable and less prone to scratches

• Acacia : Particularly resistant to external influences

• Suar wood : Strong and unique grain, good for indoor use
