And as far as style, you can't beat it. Take a look at this collection for more details and style options.

Is teak bedroom furniture low maintenance?

Teak bedroom furniture is an attractive and low maintenance option for your home that will last you for years. Teak is lightweight, so it is easy to move around the room if you enjoy reconfiguring your space.

On average, teak furniture can last for 75 years, making it a worthwhile investment that you have only have to put a little effort into to keep it looking fabulous. Indoor teak furniture pieces should be oiled once every 3-4 months. You can apply the oil with a lint-free cloth that won’t scratch the wood. Always rub the oil into the direction of the grain.

After oiling your teak furniture, wipe it dry with a different, absorbent, lint-free cloth. You should feel no oil residue when you’re done. Over time, your teak bedroom set will take on a rich, warm orange tone that blends beautifully with modern, Scandanavian-style, and urban home designs.

Does teak bedroom furniture match any decor style?

Teak is a beautiful warm hue that matches almost every bedroom style. The color scheme and overall aesthetic of your space should be calm and soothing to accommodate teak best.

Three styles that work exceptionally well with teak bedroom furniture are blue and green accents, contrasting colors and teak, or a nautical theme. Since teak is such a warm color, complementing it with blues, violets, or spring greens creates a pleasing aesthetic. If you want a similarly calming feeling with a bolder look, opt for a mustard yellow or coral as an accent color with a base of teak and teal.

Many boats are made of teak wood because it’s watertight and light. Draw that theme into your bedroom for a peaceful nautical scene, complete with your teak bedroom furniture.
