There's an undeniable charm to handcrafted wood furniture that transforms a space. Its texture, design, and even the natural aroma of wood create an inviting atmosphere, making any room feel warm and welcoming. Many people feel equally drawn to wood furniture and the serenity of nature itself, where these pieces originate.

Despite its widespread popularity across generations, wood furniture remains anything but ordinary when you delve deeper into its creation. Let’s explore the fascinating journey of how trees become tables and beyond.

Rushton Tables

At Woodcraft, we take pride in offering timeless designs that span various eras. One of our favorites is our interpretation of the Parsons table, a mid-century modern classic. While its exact origin is debated, most credit the Parsons School of Design in New York City, though some sources suggest it was created by Jean-Michel Frank during his tenure at Parsons Paris.

Parsons tables are characterized by their geometric simplicity—square or rectangular shapes with legs that are squared and flush with the tabletop, maintaining symmetry and balance. They can be customized with different materials yet retain their structural integrity. At Woodcraft, we’ve reimagined this iconic style by angling the legs slightly, creating a subtle dynamic between the table and its base while preserving their connection.

One of the greatest advantages of custom-made furniture is personalization. You can tailor each piece to match your space and aesthetic preferences. Choose dimensions that fit perfectly, and select finishes such as random planed, rough-cut, smooth, or rough-sawn to suit your taste.

Entertainment Consoles

Entertainment consoles serve as more than just TV stands—they’re functional art pieces that blend seamlessly into your living area. Unlike wall-mounted TVs, consoles provide a practical solution for cable management and remote storage, while also enhancing the room’s decor. They come in a variety of styles to suit different tastes.

Our Hastings Entertainment Unit combines sleek minimalism with an irregular silhouette, adding both elegance and playfulness to your TV room. The Brent TV console, meanwhile, features clean lines and multiple drawers and shelves for additional storage. For those who prefer displaying items like books or collectibles, the Brent model offers a hutch option.

If you're drawn to rustic aesthetics, the Turnbuckle TV unit might be your ideal choice. With its architectural hardware and weathered appearance, it brings a touch of farmhouse charm to any space.

Bookshelves

Wooden bookshelves remain the quintessential storage solution, evoking images of cozy libraries and scholarly study spaces. Yet contemporary trends are breathing new life into this classic design. Take the Framework Bookcase, for instance, whose intricate lattice pattern invites curiosity and conversation.

The Downtown collection strikes a balance between sophistication and functionality, offering bookshelves with and without drawers. Glen bookcases, with their curved feet and optional glass doors or drawer additions, exude refinement and versatility.

While "bookshelves" traditionally refer to storage for books, today's designs often serve dual purposes. Whether your shelves hold novels, plants, or artwork, they should enhance the ambiance of your room. Think of them not only as functional pieces but as decorative accents too.

Beds

Wooden beds continue to reign supreme due to their durability and beauty. Given how much time we spend sleeping, investing in a sturdy bed makes perfect sense. At Woodcraft, we craft beds ranging from simple slatted designs like the Cortleigh Slat Bed to more elaborate options such as the Spadina Bed with its full headboard.

Other models, like the Kingston, combine a headboard with a low footboard, adding elegance to any bedroom. Our Floating Bed creates an illusion of levitation by positioning the mattress high above the floor, paired with twin drawers beneath for extra storage—a must-have feature for minimalist enthusiasts.

For traditionalists, poster beds remain perennially popular. Our Fallingbrook Poster Bed offers a modern twist on this historical favorite, featuring crisp lines that exude grandeur. Similarly, the Rosedale bed combines two tones with a canopy, emphasizing the importance of the sleeping area.

Functionality meets convenience in the Cumberland Storage Bed, complete with hidden drawers under the mattress platform for storing linens or clothing. Rest assured knowing our trained handlers ensure safe delivery of heavy pieces, preserving their pristine condition.

Wood furniture endures because of its inherent qualities—beauty, utility, and longevity. Scratches over time? No problem! Unlike synthetic alternatives, wood can be restored to its original glory through skilled craftsmanship. Every piece is meticulously crafted by artisans who transform raw timber into lasting heirlooms, ensuring no two creations are ever alike.

From forest to living room, each piece tells its own story. Visit our website to discover our curated selection of handmade wood furniture tailored for every corner of your home.
