Bamboo furniture can add a unique and natural touch to any room, but it's important to take proper care of it to ensure it stays in good condition, especially during the winter months. Here are some tips for looking after your bamboo furniture during the winter:
Keep it out of direct sunlight: Bamboo is sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, and exposure to direct sunlight can cause it to dry out and become brittle. Keep your bamboo furniture away from windows and doors to minimize its exposure to sunlight.
Avoid placing it near heat sources: Bamboo can also be damaged by heat, so it's important to keep it away from radiators, fireplaces, and other sources of heat. This will help prevent the bamboo from drying out and becoming brittle.
Dust it regularly: Dust and dirt can accumulate on bamboo furniture over time, so it's important to dust it regularly to keep it clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to dust the surface of the furniture, and use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust from hard-to-reach areas.
Use a bamboo-friendly cleaner: When it's time to deep clean your bamboo furniture, use a cleaner that is specifically designed for bamboo. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface of the bamboo.
Protect it from moisture: Bamboo is resistant to water, but it's still important to protect it from excess moisture. If you live in an area with high humidity, consider using a dehumidifier to help keep the air around your bamboo furniture dry. You should also avoid placing plants directly on top of your bamboo furniture, as the water from the plants' pots can damage the bamboo.
Repair any damage promptly: If you notice any cracks or splinters in your bamboo furniture, it's important to address them as soon as possible. Use a bamboo-friendly wood filler to repair any small cracks, and use a fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges.
Store it properly: If you need to store your bamboo furniture for an extended period of time, it's important to do so in a way that will protect it from damage. Cover the furniture with a protective cover or wrap it in bubble wrap to protect it from scratches and dents. Store it in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent the bamboo from becoming damaged by moisture.
By following these tips, you can help ensure that your bamboo furniture stays in good condition throughout the winter and beyond. With proper care and attention, your bamboo furniture can continue to add a natural touch to your home for years to come.

Instead of sticking to what is considered ‘safe’, why not unleash the inner you and go bold, go boho.
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.
