Bamboo furniture is a popular and environmentally friendly choice for many homeowners. It is durable, lightweight, and has a unique, natural aesthetic. However, like any type of furniture, it requires proper care and maintenance to keep it looking its best, especially during the winter months. Here are some tips for looking after bamboo furniture during the winter:
Protect bamboo furniture from the elements: Bamboo is a durable material, but it can be damaged by extreme weather conditions such as extreme cold, heat, or moisture. To protect your bamboo furniture from the elements, consider placing it in a covered area such as a porch or garage. If your furniture is already outside, you can cover it with a waterproof cover or tarp to protect it from rain and snow.
Clean and dry your bamboo furniture: To keep your bamboo furniture looking its best, it's important to clean it regularly. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the surface of the furniture, and dry it thoroughly to prevent water damage. You can also use a mild soap or bamboo-specific cleaner to remove any dirt or stains.
Protect bamboo furniture from moisture: Moisture can be especially damaging to bamboo furniture, as it can cause the material to warp or split. To prevent moisture damage, make sure to keep your bamboo furniture away from sources of moisture, such as leaks or standing water. You should also avoid placing your bamboo furniture in damp or humid areas. If you need to store your bamboo furniture during the winter, make sure to place it in a dry, well-ventilated area.
Use coasters and place mats: To protect your bamboo furniture from scratches and stains, use coasters and place mats when serving food or drinks. This will help to prevent accidental spills and damage to the surface of the furniture.
Repair any damage: If you notice any cracks, chips, or other damage to your bamboo furniture, it's important to repair it as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Small cracks or chips can often be repaired using wood filler, while larger damages may require more extensive repairs.
Protect bamboo furniture from pests: Bamboo furniture is prone to infestations from pests such as termites and beetles. To prevent these pests from damaging your furniture, it's important to keep your furniture clean and dry, and to store it in a dry, well-ventilated area. You can also use pest control methods, such as traps or insecticides, to prevent infestations.
By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your bamboo furniture stays in good condition throughout the winter and beyond. With proper care and maintenance, your bamboo furniture can provide you with years of enjoyment and be a beautiful addition to your home.

Boho, short for Bohemian, is the ‘in’ design trend which exudes that free-spirited, eclectic look.
It draws inspiration from different cultures, styles, and eras and often mixes natural materials, bold colors and a mix of patterns and textures. Color is critical to the boho look.
So-called ‘jewel’ colours are very popular; the inspiration coming from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds and then blending old and new pieces to create a warm and cozy, warm ambience.
That said, boho means eclectic, not chaotic. Stick to the ‘rule of 3’ base colors and then choose and mix of accessories that reflect and compliment those colors. If you are thinking of giving a boho makeover to your home, then read on.
