When purchasing furniture, it’s always a good idea to ask for specific cleaning and care instructions. For furnishings already in your home, here are 10 tips to keep the wood looking its best for many generations to come.

1. Don’t Mistreat Furniture

To avoid rings and heat damage,always use a table mat when setting glasses or mugs on wood tables, and never place hot food directly on them without the protection of a trivet or potholder. Incorporate decorative placemats or a tablecloth to protect your dining room table from food and drink spills.

2. Avoid Environmental Damage

Sunlight, heat and other environmental factors can wreak havoc on your fine wood. Don’t place valuable furniture in front of uncovered windows, vents or fireplaces, as the light and heat can damage and fade the wood.

3. Dust Often

No one really likes to dust, but the chore is one of the best ways to take care of your furniture. Airborne particles can build a filmy layer on wood that scratches the surface. Frequent dusting keeps this buildup from happening. Always use soft cloth like cotton T-shirts, cloth diapers or microfiber to avoid damage. Lambswool dusters are great for ornate carvings or hard to reach places because they effectively attract and hold dust.

4. Keep Your Wood Clean

Sometimes dusting isn’t enough and you’ll find it necessary to clean your wood furniture. Never use all-purpose cleaners, which can cause damage to the finish. If you have a spot that is heavily soiled or sticky, dip a cloth in water that contains a mild dish detergent. Wring it out as much as possible and gently wipe the area. Be sure to follow up with a rinse from a damp cloth containing just water, then immediately wipe with a soft dry cloth.

5. Protect Your Wood

Most commercial polishes and sprays contain either petroleum distillates or silicone oil to for a fresh and shiny finish, and to offer some protection for your wood. Make sure not to use too much product, because it can cause buildup that combines with dirt to create a dull, sticky film. Always be sure to buff well when using products to help avoid this buildup, and never use these products with a wax protectant because the combination will result in another gooey mess.

6. Treat Wear and Tear

Even with the best care, wood furniture can sustain injuries. For minor nicks and scratches use a product like wood spray detergent . This liquid polish hides abrasions, restoring the wood’s inherent beauty.

If damage is too extensive to be treated with polishes or touch up sticks and you aren’t quite ready to give up your treasured fixture, you may need to resort to something more drastic. Painting a piece of damaged furniture will breathe new life into it and give it several more good years. Painting also allows you to save time by skipping sanding, something you can’t do if you opt to re-stain.

7. 7. Keep Wood Smelling Fresh

Sometimes older pieces will develop an unpleasant odor, especially if they’ve been stored. You can sprinkle the surface with baking soda to freshen it up, and place a pan of charcoal inside drawers to absorb smells that emanate from inside. You can even leave the piece outside in a shaded area on a warm, dry day to give relief from a malodorous stench and make your furniture good as new.

8. 8. Remove Tough Stains

Despite your best efforts, sometimes the inevitable happens and your beautiful wood furniture gets stained. No matter what kind of stain you have, be sure to clean it as quickly as possible — the longer it sits, the harder it will be to remove.

• For white rings from wet glasses, apply a paste of equal amounts white toothpaste and baking soda. Rub it into the stain until it’s gone. Then, wipe off the furniture and buff with a dry cloth.
• For dark spots from water damage, try gently blotting the stain with a cloth soaked in vinegar.
• For crayon marks, apply mayonnaise over the area. Let it sit for a couple of minutes before rubbing clean with a damp cloth and buffing with a dry cloth.

Taking proper care of your wood furniture isn’t hard or even that time-consuming, and the reward for your effort will be a home filled with beautiful wood furniture that looks and feels as good as the day you got it — now and for years to come https://homelookuganda.com/

The most practical advantage of wood furniture is its strength. Hardwood tabletops, desktops, and shelves won’t sag over time the way cheaper woods like plywood, particleboard, and fiberboard can. It can maintain that strength for decades—century-old furniture is routinely found in usable condition in attics and basements. The bookcase my friend’s son made off with, for instance, was originally handed down to the family from an elderly aunt. High-quality furniture retains its value, too: Resold heirloom-quality wood furniture can often command a premium price.

The greatest advantage of wooden furniture, though, lies in its enduring look and appeal. The grain and tones of genuine hardwood bring warmth and character to any room. When finished correctly, solid wood has a luster that can’t be matched by a veneer. Even when the finish of wood furniture isn’t properly maintained, it still looks attractive. It’s why shabby chic furniture with a distressed finish is a part of the modern rustic look, which continues to grow in popularity. My friend’s old bookcase, for example, currently lends a stately charm to his son’s dorm room.

Thanks to its lasting strength and enduring beauty, damaged hardwood furniture can usually be fully repaired or restored with the right tools and skills. Finished wood can withstand years of wear and tear from even the most rambunctious family—scratches and dents from careless teenagers, scribbles from crayon-wielding toddlers, spilled glue from craft projects gone wrong, and more. Scratches and scuff marks can be sanded out; the old finish can be removed and replaced with a new one. However, despite all the benefits, wood furniture comes with some disadvantages.

The Disadvantages of Wooden Furniture

When my friend’s son moved to a new dormitory, it took two people to carry his improvised TV stand across campus. Wood furniture’s strength, stability, and durability come at a price: It’s heavy. Other disadvantages to wood furniture include the following:

Wood is vulnerable to water. Moisture can damage wood finishes and soak into the wood underneath, causing it to split and swell.

Ultraviolet light can change wood’s color and damage its surface. In a way that’s similar to the effect sunlight has on skin, sunlight can break apart chemical bonds in wood and cause the surface to change colors. If you’re not among the wood furniture owners who find this kind of discoloration attractive, a skilled craftsman can restore an old finish to return the color to its original hue. Wood furniture with a durable and protective topcoat over the finish is likely to resist discoloration over time.

Finishes can be scratched or damaged by sharp objects. While the topcoat should make your furniture resistant to damage caused by everyday use, sharp or heavy objects may scratch the finish, which could expose the wood underneath. Repairing damage requires patience and skill. Fixing scratches on a wood surface requires a craftsman’s touch; sanding or removing stains requires patience, care, and attention to detail.

The strength of hardwood makes it ideal for use in furniture. It’ll stand up to considerable abuse, and damage can often be repaired or restored. To get the most value from your wood furniture, make sure to always purchase quality, high-end furniture made from solid hardwood.

In 1986, the civil war was ended and Law and order were restored in several parts of the country.
Ever since then, huge efforts have been made to salvage the economy under the national
Resistance Movement (NRM). Today, at a growth rate of 6.5% per year for the last ten years, the
economy of Uganda has steadily recovered (MFEPD, 2008). During this period, the construction
sector which is also the leading user of timber and furniture has experienced tremendous growth
(UBOS, 2006). At an averaged growth rate of 5 % per year, the furniture industry has
experienced a tremendous recovery over the last 10-15 years (Odokonyero, 2005).

The industry has also witnessed technological advancements as well. There has been a progressive shift from 8 old technology and traditional practices to modern wood working technology and craftsmanship
(Calvalho, 1999). At present, the furniture industry is perhaps the most vibrant sector within the wood industry in
Uganda. Mainly dominated by the small and micro scale producers
2004) the industry is expanding fast and making significant contribution to the economy.

According to UBOS report (2006), the furniture sub sector is employing 25% of the urban population especially the low income groups, youth, semi-literate and women. Although still a few, medium scale producers are also slowly taking the stage in furniture production in Uganda. A recent study by the Department of Forest Products Engineering of Makerere University (2011), reports up to 100 medium sized furniture producing firms producing
for the Kampala market. The most prominent ones include; Hwang Sung Furniture Company,
Erimu furniture company, Lotus Arts, Kaava Furniture Company, Biplous, Furniture Works , Home Look Uganda,
and Master Wood Furniture Company. These enterprises are based on high technology
machinery from Europe and Asia conferring high value addition and wood recovery.

Furniture Market and Distribution Channels in Kampala District
According to the Uganda Bureau of Statistic (UBOS) business report (2006), there are about 300
registered furniture businesses that sell office and household furniture in Uganda. The market is
mainly serving the domestic demand. Only 10% of furniture produced is exported mainly to
Rwanda, Kenya , Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Furniture sales are by
majority made along streets (in show rooms) and through roadside displays in Kampala city and 9 its suburbs. The showrooms are mainly used by bigger furniture companies for high value products and less by small scale producers’ because of the high rental tariffs. Of recent, there has also been an increasing influx of household furniture imports into the Ugandan market. By the year 2003 alone, household furniture imports into the country had reached one million United States Dollars (Anon, 2003). The changing consumer preferences to high quality luxurious furniture are driving the shift in consumer preference to imported furniture especially among the middle and high income consumers. Although a hand full of reasons can exist to the question why urban consumers are preferring furniture imports, visual appeal (modern design and surface finish) is one of them.

This is because majority of the imports are mainly based on artificially 2engineered Wood and
produced from high technology systems. Compared to the locally produced furniture from
natural solid wood, engineered wood can be made to different light shades and surface finishes
that impact attractiveness to their furniture which may not be easily achieved by natural solid
wood. Moreover, majority of the small scale enterprises are still using low technology (hand
plane and saw) that may not permit complex value added designs.

How to Choose The Best Type of Bed?

There’s more to choosing a good bed than simply how it looks. From hidden storage, to beds designed for specific mattress types, there’s plenty to think about. Here we provide 11 steps for choosing a good bed.

1. Visit a bed store

To make sure you’re choosing the best type of bed, simply seeing it on screen is not ideal. Visiting a store allows you to try out different styles, shapes and designs to ensure you find a good bed. Find your nearest Dreams showroom on our store#homelookuganda.

2. Don’t just look at it, lie on it

It’s essential that you always try a bed before buying it. We’re all different and one bed isn’t made for everybody. People’s requirements for support will differ depending on their weight and build, so you need to be really comfortable with your decision.

3. Choose a bed together

If you’re going to be sharing a bed, then you need to choose a good bed for both you and your partner. That way you can both lie on it and make sure it’s big enough and comfy enough for both of you.

4. Think about the size of the room

Overall bedroom size should always be taken into account. If the bedroom is too small, a massive bed won’t be for you. To relax properly you need to have a reasonable space around your bed. If you’re improving a multifunctional space, consider that bed offers more living space when you’re not sleeping on them. And if you’re not quite sure what  bed you need you can ask the seller for recommendations.

5. Make the most of space with storage beds

If you don’t have room for a big wardrobe, or you don’t know where to put your spare sheets then consider an ottoman bed with storage.  These are the best type of bed for those with small rooms, as they give you plenty of extra space to store your things in an easy and convenient way.

6. Give yourself room to spread out

If you have a big or reasonable size bedroom and your partner is always taking up all the space in the bed then consider investing in king beds or super king beds. If you want even more room and comfort, then opt for an Emperor beds.

7. Consider more space than a single

Even if you sleep on your own, that doesn’t mean that you should buy yourself a single bed. Some sleepers need or like a lot of space to feel comfortable in, so if you’re one of them consider investing in a double bed.

8. Make sure it looks good as well as feels good

If you want a style statement bed that really adds character to a room, headboards are a must. Choose from metal, upholstered or wooden headboards in a variety of great designs.

9. Choose a good bed for your back

Spring and slat beds are the best type of bed for back support. And always remember, a good bed should respect the size, shape and specific needs of the sleeper. If for instance your back often troubles you when you are lying down, then choose an adjustable bed and sleep in a position that is comfortable for you.

10. Beds and mattresses should work together

Never buy a bed without at least thinking about the mattress. Spring mattresses are ideal for spring beds, while slat beds are more likely to be teamed up with foam mattresses. Where possible you should buy a new bed and a new mattress at the same time, because a new mattress on an old bed won’t last as long as it would on a new one.

11. You get what you pay for

The best bed for you isn’t always the most expensive one, but it’s probably not the cheapest one either. A cheap bed might look OK, but it won’t give you the support you need for a good night’s sleep. Be aware that a lower price might also reduce your comfort. It’s a good idea to look at product reviews online before purchasing as that way you can see what other people think of the item you’re buying.

When you are shopping for a new couch follow these 11 tips to ensure a great purchase.

Check the Fit

There is no sense in considering a couch if it doesn’t fit you well. Seats should be comfortable for all members of your family. If you’re buying a recliner sofa, make sure it is comfortable in all the different positions. The primary fit consideration is the depth of the seats. Select deep or shallow seats, depending on your height—the couch back should support your back adequately with your feet flat on the floor and the backs of your knees just slightly forward of the lower seat cushion. And if the couch is where you like to nap, make sure to lay out on the couch and see if it is long enough for comfortable snoozing.

Evaluate the Frame

Upholstery fabric and cushions can be replaced when they get old and worn, but no couch can be considered a good piece of furniture unless it has a solid, quality inner frame. If your goal is to buy a good sofa, start by learning about the frame. Cheaper sofas may have frames made from particleboard, plastic, or metal, but a good-quality couch will have a solid hardwood frame—preferably a hardwood frame made of #musambya, #mugavu , or ash. Pine frames are cheap, but they often begin to warp and wobble within five years or so.

The legs of the couch should be either integral parts of the frame or held on with screws or dowels. Avoid a couch if the legs are merely glued on.

One easy test for solid frame construction is to lift one front corner or leg of the sofa off the floor to a height of 6 inches or so. If the other front leg doesn’t quickly rise off the floor, too, it’s a sign the frame is twisting, and is therefore weak. Any sofa that visibly twists or creaks under this test is one you should avoid.

Ask About the Joinery

Although the method by which the frame parts are held together may not be immediately evident, the sales person or printed technical specifications if any should have this information. Look for frames that are joined with wooden dowels, double wooden dowels, wooden corner blocks, or metal screws and brackets. Never buy a sofa that is assembled with only staples, nails, or glue, although these may be used to provide additional reinforcement.

Test the Arms

A sofa with a good hardwood frame assembled with dowels or corner brackets should be quality piece of furniture, but it is still a good idea to forcefully test the arms of the sofa to make sure they are very tight, with no give when you lean on them. In a family with active children, the most common area of failure on a couch (other than the upholstery) is the arms.

As you test the couch, push hard on the arms and look for any sign of wobble. Avoid any couch that isn’t rock-solid.

Consider the Springs

The springs that hold up the cushions on a couch come in three levels of quality. Least expensive (and least durable) are those that aren’t springs at all, but just webbing or mesh. Avoid these couches if your goal is a quality piece of furniture.

Most couches use what is known as serpentine springs—sinuous pieces of snaking wire that span the gap between frame members. These offer good support, but they may sag over time if the metal isn’t heavy-gauge.

Luxury sofas are fitted with what is known as “eight-way hand-tied springs,” which are very comfortable but also expensive. Some experts dispute if hand-tied springs are any more comfortable than good serpentine springs, but you can be the judge of that.

Feel the springs through the upholstery. Good springs will be quite firm and spaced close together for good support. There should be good support without too much give when you sit on the couch.

Feel the Padding

The frame and all the corners of the couch should be well padded. Run your hand over all corners to make sure you can’t feel the edges of the frame through the upholstery. If you can, the upholstery may wear through quite quickly, and your couch will not be very comfortable to use.

Test the Operating Mechanisms

If your couch is a recliner or sleeper, make sure to operate the mechanism repeatedly and aggressively to make sure it operates smoothly and easily. Reclining, or motion furniture is generally more expensive, and you are paying for a functioning, smoothly-running mechanism. Don’t overlook any mechanical glitches or rough operation you notice-these will only become more pronounced after repeated use in your home.

Evaluate the Upholstery

Quality upholstery may not be critical to the sitting comfort of your sofa, but it is critical to its visual appeal.

Just as in well-tailored clothing, patterns and stripes should match at the seams. Although it might not catch your eye right away, mismatched patterns and strips  will give you the sense that something is “off”. Stripes that match at the seams make a sofa look well finished. Patterns should be centered, and all seams and welts should run straight. Uneven welting and seams that are pulled to one side or another mean that the cover was badly tailored. With fabric upholstery, higher thread counts indicate a denser weave and more durable fabric.

If there are any buttons, check to see that they are sewn on securely. Loose buttons will come off and quickly get lost.

Check the Cushions

Seat cushions should be firm and resilient and fit snugly within the sofa frame. The cushions should regain their shape after you press down and let go. A cushion that stays put when you press down will be flattened in no time, end up looking unsightly and feel uncomfortable when you sit on it. Cushions that do not fit snugly will also lose their shape quickly and the edges will start looking unsightly.

There is considerable debate over which type of material is best for sofa cushions. Polyurethane foam is the most common material used, but it is important to find a balance between a firm foam that is long-lasting but may be too hard, and a soft foam that is comfortable but may break down too quickly. High-resilient (HR) foam is a step up, making for comfortable and long-lasting cushion. Very expensive couches often use goose down mixed with feathers, but you will pay dearly for this luxury, and the cushions will need to be plumped frequently.

A hybrid type of cushion that some experts recommend is HR foam wrapped in down-and-feathers, which combines the best of durability and comfort.

Measure the Couch (and Your Doorways)

More than one sofa has been returned to the store because the delivery service could not get it through the doorway. Many couches have legs that can be unscrewed and removed to make delivery easier, and in some cases a door can be removed from its hinges to enlarge the opening enough to squeeze in a large couch. Measure the height, width, and diagonal opening of all doorways in your house, and have these numbers on hand as you shop for your sofa #homelookuganda.

With those tips you can rest assured your sofa will stay intact for some good time #sofasetsuganda,#couchesuganda,#woodworksuganda,#interiorsuganda.

Make an Assessment of What You Already Have.

You may indeed be having some other furniture already sitting in the house. Some of these may be the pieces you inherited or those you used before deciding on an upgrade. Regardless of the situation, assess the furniture you currently own and decide on its fate.

However, if the furniture still goes with the look you want to achieve, why not retain them and consider some minor additions?

Defining your budget will also allow you to go to a furniture store well focused on what type of furniture you want. This includes the type of furniture design, quality, and one that suits your home look.

Determine the Theme.

Determining the furniture theme that suits your house shouldn’t be any difficult. You can conduct some brainstorming by paying a visit to an online furniture store and get acquainted with what you love.

Choosing the best furniture theme for your house should also involve having different considerations for each room. You should also be open to any additions that will help lift the interior of your house.

Final Thought.

Nothing complements your house’s interior outlook other than the right furniture choice. Most people may find it daunting, thanks to the difficult decisions that need to be made. However, find the above tips useful when you opt for a change of furniture in your house.

The post THE BEST FURNITURE CHOICE FOR YOUR HOME IDEAS appeared first on Home Look Uganda.

Have you got the furniture and wardrobes and kitchen cabinets for your home? There’s one element of home decor that you simply can’t ignore – curtains.  They are one of those crucial pieces of decor that can set the tone for the room. From light and breezy to substantial and ornamental, from solid colors to prints, from sheer fabrics to heavy opaque textiles – the possibilities are endless. With the sheer variety of options for tracks, fabrics and accessories out there, making the right choice can be quite confusing. Here are a few quick tips on how to choose curtains that could be of  help to you:

1- The choice of color.

This can make or break the look The color of your curtains should ideally be in sync with the rest of the furnishings. You could either choose #drapes that harmonise with the decor or contrast with it. For a pleasing look, choose drapes in a color that complement the shade of your walls. Alternatively, if you want the curtain colours to be the focus, pick a hue that contrasts with the furniture and walls.

2- Pick out the right Fabric.

The material plays a vital role in the look of the curtains and consequently, the room. From sheer lace to lightweight cotton, medium weight brocades to heavy velvet, your options are aplenty. The two factors that you should consider while picking your fabric are,

• The amount of sunlight streaming in
• The mood and decor in your room, For example, heavier fabrics suit more traditional rooms while sheer fabrics work best in more minimalistic rooms.

Remember, each fabric falls differently from an elevation and therefore will look different when pleated and drawn back.

3-Difference between Curtains and Drapes.

The first step to figuring out how to choose curtains is to figure out what your room requires. Oftentimes, homeowners choose #curtains, #drapes, #Blinds and #shades without knowing the difference. Doing so, these window treatments can actually interfere with the amount of sunlight your room should get.

Curtains are fabric panels made of light materials and hang from curtain rods. They are mostly used for privacy purposes, making it perfect for living rooms. Whereas, drapes are made of thicker materials that are made to block out sunlight, making it ideal for bedrooms.

4-Choosing between prints and Solids.

To answer this, we need to look at the rest of the décor. If all the other soft furnishings in the room are a solid color, going with printed curtains can be a popular choice. The opposite holds true as well. One thing to remember is that prints add visual weight to any element. Therefore one way to work with printed curtains is to pair them with solid-colored furniture accessorised with printed cushions, area rugs, etc. You could use quirky prints and geometric patterns with contemporary style space, while florals would suit modern classic and traditional decor.

5- Selecting the ideal Length.

Curtains that fall exactly to the floor level are in vogue. For a more dramatic look, you can opt for a curtain size that is longer by a few inches, so that the drapes puddle on the floor. On the other hand, if you have kids, you are better off with curtains a couple of inches above the floor. Ending them at the sill for smaller windows is yet another classic option, but full-length drapes could work equally well.

6- Measuring the width.

The ideal width of your curtains depends on the width of the moulding of your window pane or door. One way to arrive at the ideal width is to measure the frame and multiply it by a factor of 2/2.5. The extra fabric helps accomplish the gathered look on the sides when the curtains are drawn back.

7- Trim and Accessories.

Dress them up or tone them down. Trims and accessories for curtains range from pull-backs and valances to ornamental curtain tracks fixed on the wall above the curtains. Trims and accessories can be cleverly accompanied with light drapes to add richness and grandeur. Valance, the decorative frilled fabric placed at the top of the window,  is an excellent way to add embellishment to your room. On the other hand, simple pull-backs and absence of decorative trims will make fabrics like velvet or satin look chic and sleek. This again will depend on the effect you want to achieve.

8- Picking between lined and unlined curtains.

Here’s where you weigh the functionality of the curtains or drapes that you have chosen. If the curtain hangs on a window that receives direct sunlight, a protective lining can make it more opaque, fade slower and last longer. Also, two layers – one sheer, one opaque can give you the flexibility to choose the amount of privacy and light you want. The fact remains that a lining makes drapes heavier — so choose wisely.

9- The fabric and material of a curtain determines how it should be cleaned and how often you need to clean it. While all curtains and drapes should be washed every 3-6 months, there are some fabrics that require more care and some that can be machine washed.

• Low maintenance fabrics: If you are looking for curtains that need to be washed twice a year opt for cotton or synthetic fabrics. These can be machine washed if they are unlined or else give them your lined curtains a quick hand wash. A great option for those with dust allergies or kids and pets at home.
• High maintenance Fabrics: Any curtain that has pleats or swags must be dry cleaned regardless of the fabric. However, wool, silk and sheer curtains must be dry cleaned or hand washed in cold water to retain their colors and shape.
• You can also choose to vacuum your drapes and curtains on a weekly basis if you are prone to dust allergies.

It’s always best to factor in the curtains while you’re deciding the rest of the decor of your room. Consequently, your decor will be more co-ordinated and harmonious. If you liked this article on how to choose curtains you can visit us at https://homelookuganda.com/
