The future of furniture rests with cane

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Cane furniture has been a main stay in conservatory and patio furniture for many years now. It has been a popular choice due to its sturdy manufacture, natural look and lightweight properties. It is also very pretty and gives off a peaceful vibe. In 2010, cane furniture is set to get even bigger and no longer will its use be restricted to the sun room or garden areas; it is set to invade the rest of the home, too.

Looking at the furniture here at 1st For Cane Furniture, it is easy to see why more and more people are opting to use cane in their homes. Cane comes in many different forms, many of which would be impossible to recreate with other materials, and it adds somewhat of a natural, calm feel to any room it is placed in. Although cane is light and can appear to be flimsy, it is actually a very strong material which will easily withstand any knocks and scrapes which may occur. Over the years the upholstery on cane furniture has improved immensely and there are many modern designs available rather than just the traditional and somewhat outdated designs which spring to mind when most of us think of cane furniture.

Another factor that cane furniture has in its favour is the fact that it is very low maintenance and does not get dirty easily. Simply wiping your cane furniture with a cloth is enough to keep it clean and shiny.

Show off your green credentials with cane

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

It is a well known fact that most of the furniture that is produced today has a detrimental effect on the environment. Most furniture is made from wood which comes from unsustainable sources. This is bad for wildlife, the environment and, quite often, the people in the areas it is sourced from. Cane furniture, on the other hand, is made from very sustainable sources in the South East of Asia.

Cane grows very quickly and often grows in areas which are not suitable for growing other types of crops, therefore as a result, it is not taking up space which could be used to grow valuable food sources. When cane is cut down to make furniture, more is usually replanted and, as it grows at a rate of around 6 metres a year, there is always a plentiful supply available for use in cane furniture, like the furniture here at 1st For Cane Furniture.

Another interesting thing about cane and rattan is that it can only grow successfully in areas where there are already trees. This means that anyone who wishes to grow cane will be discouraged from cutting down other trees, thus conserving vital resources for wildlife.

The processes used to transform the raw cane into beautiful pieces of cane furniture, also have very little impact on the environment and produce little in the way of carbon dioxide or other polluting gases which are causing such a problem to the Earth’s atmosphere, making cane furniture a very ethical choice.

Cane Care

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

The most obvious way of keeping your cane in mint condition is to clean it on a regular basis. Cleaning cane could not be simpler; all it takes is a damp cloth and a little elbow grease to remove dust and grime, and you are basically done. You may also use a little furniture polish on your cane furniture if you so desire.

One of the great things about our furniture ranges here at 1st For Cane Furniture is that they are very easy to look after. Cane furniture has a reputation for being low maintenance and long lasting and provides a great choice for anyone who would rather be out having fun or relaxing with a cuppa rather than doing the housework. If properly cared for, cane furniture will outlast many of your other furniture pieces and with regular cleaning and maintainence, it will still be looking a s good as new in 15 years time.

If your cane furniture has cushions, there are a couple of things you can do to keep them looking good for longer. Firstly, you should turn cushions regularly and try to distribute weight as evenly as possible when sitting on them and, secondly, you should regularly ‘plump’ the cushions to ensure they stay comfy.

As with most types of furniture, cane furniture can start to fade over time. To prevent fading you should keep your cane out of direct sunlight when possible by keeping it in the shade if at all possible. You should also try to avoid leaving your furniture in extreme heat for prolonged periods of time as this can cause problems with cushion fabric.

Cane furniture is a great option when furnishing the garden area, as well as, indoor areas such as dining rooms and kitchens.

Cane furniture is made to last and will withstand prolonged exposure to the elements better than most metal or wooden furnitures would.

Monday, February 1st, 2010

The beauty of adding a conservatory to your home is that it gives you some extra space in which you can relax and enjoy those quieter moments in life, away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of your home. Most of us use our conservatories to relax in one way or another. Some of us like to read the Sunday papers with a coffee in our conservatory, whilst some of us like to do yoga, meditate or read a good book. In the summer most of us will enjoy the warmth of the sun in our peaceful little room. Whatever you use your conservatory for, chances are you will need to furnish it in some way, and when it comes to furnishing your conservatory, there is only one sensible choice: cane furniture.
