Where to Buy Scandinavian Teak Furniture

The trademark Scandinavian teak furniture look is minimalistic with clean lines and utilitarian design. Also commonly known as Danish teak furniture, this furniture is crafted for practical use in mind. Teak is an extremely durable hardwood grown on the Indonesian islands. Java and Bali are two major producers of teak wood. Dutch settlers to these regions began planting teak and making gorgeous furniture many years ago and some still do to this day. There are Dutch family owned plantations and factories who produce some of the finest Scandinavian style furniture.

There are exporting companies located on the islands who sell directly to customers. Then there are retailers who import Indonesian and Thai teak, sometimes in raw form for processing and sometimes as furniture pieces. These companies include Teak Imports Inc and Danish Teak Classics just to name two. As mentioned before, the style of furniture sold by companies like this is clearly modern, practical, with clean elegance. The opposite of Scandinavian design might be the intricate carving and scrollwork of the Victorian era. A good example of contemporary Scandinavian design would be the products sold at Ikea stores.

If you like a more adorned look there are teak furniture pieces that offer it. For example there are four poster beds from companies like Bali Exports which feature beautiful carvings. If your favored look is eclectic you could mix Scandinavian style with more decorative pieces. For example a teak bed done in Danish style could be adorned with exotic Indonesian bedding done in bright, warm colors with lots of mix and match throw pillows. If you want the decor more simple keep the bedding solid and wall art minimal.

Scandinavian teak furniture is not just beautiful but also practical. Any kind of teak furniture can be handed down for generations thanks to the lasting beauty of this tropical hardwood. A piece of outdoor teak furniture can last 75 years or more, so you can imagine how long a piece of indoor furniture can last. The only downside for some consumers is the high price of teak furniture. While it's true you get what you pay for, comparison shopping and looking for sales can help you save on the cost your teak furniture. Also the Internet can help you track down furniture bargains.
