What is Limed Oak Furniture?

Shopping for Oak Furniture
When you're shopping for limed oak furniture online, it's important to know exactly what you're getting for your money. As a rule, you'll find two different types of wooden furniture:
• Solid wood furniture
• Wood veneer furniture
Solid wood is fairly self-explanatory, and you'll find that whilst you pay more for solid wood furniture, it lasts a lot longer than veneered pieces. Wood veneer furniture is where the base of the furniture is made from a cheaper wood, and is then veneered in the wood of your choice – in this case, limed oak. Oak veneer furniture is ideal if you're looking to keep to a tight budget, but bear in mind that it may not wear as well as solid oak pieces, which become more beautiful with age.
Shop Online
Shopping online for limed oak furniture gives you the widest possible choice of styles to choose from, whether you're looking for a limed oak 3-drawer chest for the bedroom, glass fronted cabinet for the lounge or a limed oak hall unit. There are plenty of different styles to suit all homes, but limed oak may not be the best choice if you're looking to create an ultra-modern look. The pale, distressed finish of limed oak gives a vintage, reclaimed look to your home, which is in keeping with more traditional, shabby chic styling. That's not to say that you can't incorporate traditional limed oak pieces into a more modern home, but it's something to bear in mind when shopping for new furniture online.
