Create Your Own Reading Nook with Amish Furniture

Every day, billions of people around the world sit down with a favorite book, magazine, or even a tablet or e-reader. While many assume that books have fallen out of fashion with modern audiences, the opposite is true. A 2016 Pew Research study found that 73% of Americans read at least one novel in that year. The number was identical when the same survey was taken five years earlier.

Of course, there’s also the real reading enthusiasts, who sometimes read a book a week. For smaller novellas and collections, some even read a book a day!

Reading is a pastime that has never died down, and it probably never will. Learning, exploring people and stories, and traveling to fantastic places will never get old.

Modern Rustic Bedroom Furniture

Modern Rustic Furniture might sound like an oxymoron but it can be achieved in interior design. Whether you want to add Barn-wood Texture, use an Antique Slate Stain, or choose hardware that nods towards a rustic aesthetic. Here are some fantastic ideas to incorporate Modern Rustic Furniture into your bedroom.

The Cambridge Bedroom Set is shown in Oak with Antique Slate stain. Note how the dresser has two different types of drawers and hardware adding a modern touch. This collection also has clean lines throughout and an angular cut on the feet of the bed and case pieces. On the bed you can see the nod to a Barn-Door “X” that is half completed making it lean more towards the modern side of the spectrum.

If you want the Cambridge Collection to lean more towards the Rustic side, you could choose a stain color that has warm brown hues, or change the wood type to Rustic Cherry or Rustic Hickory. By selecting a Rustic Wood Type you would have knots present in the boards that would add a little character and texture to the wood.

Looking for that completed Barn-Door “X” look, check out the Timber Lake Bed. This bed has texture and is shown in Brown Maple wood. The saw marks add texture through out the entire collection. The Case pieces that go with this bed also feature the full “X”.

Want to lean more toward the modern side of the scale with the Timber Lake Collection? Change your stain color to a cooler hue, select different case pieces. All of your pieces in your order are finished at the same time, so they will be stained to match even if the case pieces and bed aren’t from the same collection.

The Belwright Collection is shown with optional texture. When purchasing from this collection you can decide if you want to add the texture or not. Better yet, you can add texture to any of the available wood species!

Another collection that offers an optional texture is the Farmhouse Collection shown below.

Common features that you will find in the Modern Rustic aesthetic include; rustic wood species, cool tones and hues, clean lines, barnwood textures, rough sawn textures, “X” shapes, brassy hardware, textured hardware, paneled beds, and larger case pieces.

Furniture from Amish Showroom is handcrafted by the Amish in the United States. Each piece is crafted using only American hardwoods. It can take up to 12 weeks to have your order built and delivered.

Why Oak Makes Some of the Best Amish Furniture

You’re ready to invest in Amish Furniture, but you’re unsure about which type of wood to choose. The Amish Showroom provides extensive options, including luxury materials like Walnut and Hickory. Oak is one of our most popular materials, and for good reason. It can be cost effective, it’s long lasting, and it offers a beautiful grain that is suitable for both contemporary and traditional furniture.

What is it that makes Oak such a great material for Amish Furniture, and how will you benefit from incorporating this natural timber into your home?

Amish Furniture That Can Last Forever

The most important advantage for Oak (and for our other wood options) is the longevity of the material.

We often refer to Amish Furniture as being of heirloom quality, and it’s no exaggeration. Oak can potentially last your entire lifetime and far beyond. It has been used for centuries and many of the oldest examples live on in private collections.

Oak is naturally waterproof, and it was even used for ship manufacturing long before composites and metals were used in the modern era. Oak is also incredibly durable and will resist dents and scratches.

Maintenance is important, but the requirements aren’t extensive. Treatment with a furniture oil can help to protect Oak that hasn’t been finished with epoxy or paint. Depending on your environment and how often you use your Amish Furniture, you may only need to oil Oak every three months or so. When the wood starts to become dry, it’s time for a treatment.

Oak Can Be Finished to Create a Unique Appearance

The finishing options for Oak are virtually unlimited. It can be coated in epoxy to provide a glass-like finish that will protect the wood underneath. Oak can also be stained to give it a hue that matches your décor. Darker stains are often used for modern homes, while lighter stains are ideal for traditional homes where you want the grain to stand out.

You can view all our stain options and explore other wood selections by visiting this page.

The grain is unmistakably beautiful, which is why Oak is a popular choice for living room and dining room Amish Furniture. Country styles are particularly well suited to Oak grain, but there are no real rules on how you should use this wood. Order an office desk, a bookcase, or even an occasional table in Oak, and you’ll be able to appreciate the fine wood grain every day.

What is Quarter Sawn Oak for Amish Furniture?

Oak that is quarter sawn is cut, rotated, and cut again at the mill. This process helps to create an incredibly strong final product that resists warping. For furniture that will last the ages, quarter sawn Oak is an excellent option.

This method also results in a unique grain pattern that is finer and lighter than standard cut Oak. This can be ideal for furniture that you want to be understated or even modern in appearance. Many people simply prefer the grain pattern that comes from this process.

Examples of Oak Amish Furniture for Sale

You’ll find countless Oak furniture options at the Amish Showroom. It’s one of our favorite materials to work with. As you begin your search for your next investment, take a look at some standout pieces in our collection today.
