Natural furniture and décor trends have risen in these recent years. People’s consciousness of the “green earth” becomes the reason behind this trend. Then, how can furniture be called ‘natural’? Of course, besides being made of natural material from fast-growing and non-endangered plant materials, furniture and home décors should emphasize the non-toxic processes starting from the very beginning until it is shipped to make sure the products are not using harmful chemicals. The products also should reduce carbon footprint or environmental impact, minimize waste and be ethically made. Furniture and home décors made from seagrass are a great choice! As retailers, wholesalers and designers, make sure you do not miss this opportunity by investing in products that are both beautiful and durable but also made from eco-friendly fabrics and materials.
Why Seagrass?
Seagrass is one of the best options when you search for environmentally friendly and beautiful material for your furnishings. Seagrass is the collective name of more than 50 types of sea plants that grow in tropical countries like the Philippines or Thailand, but Indonesia has got the most. Another advantage of choosing this material, except its environmental friendliness, is its hypoallergenic features. You have seen indoor and outdoor seagrass furniture in public places like bars, restaurants or shops. It gives coziness and a great atmosphere to any places where it is placed. Besides, it is highly functional, lightweight and easy to maintain. If you want to change the look of your place and diversify the design without spending much money, this option is probably the best for you. Although, it can be easily fitted in almost any interior design because it works great with such materials as metal, wood and glass.
How to Take Care of Your Seagrass Furniture?
Simply Wipe It
For daily cleaning, simply wipe seagrass furniture with a soft, dry cloth, in the direction of any rows rather than diagonally, which can force dust under the woven material. Dust and debris that are left to accumulate grind into the furniture fibers, causing unnecessary wear and dirty discoloration. A vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment helps dislodge and remove any soil from between the weave.
Not a Sunbather
Seagrass furniture is made for indoor use because it is not sun-proof. When you keep your seagrass furniture inside, it still may not be out of the sun. If it sits in a sunny area near a window, for example, it is subject to fading. Closing the window when you are not in the room will extend the item’s good look. Use a coat of clear varnish to provide extra protection from fading.
Do not Step on It
Your seagrass furniture is not sturdy enough to use as a stepping stool. Never allow children to climb, jump or kneel on seagrass furniture. Pressure from feet, knees and any other bony body parts cause the fibers to stretch, creating bows or dents.
