Walnut has a dramatic grain in tones of rich chocolate (varying subtly in hue – from slight olive brown to more russet tones) with areas of paler sapwood. This rich chocolate brown timber is an elegant addition to any bedroom – we particularly love walnut bed bases for a mid-century modern space with retro accents or a luxurious master bedroom with the rich, warm timber being the focal point.

The deep chocolate colour can soften over time, becoming lighter and more amber toned. Therefore, if you are interested in ordering a collection of items from us, we recommend ordering them all at the same time. This way your solid walnut purchases will develop in colour together. As with any wood, there are variations in grain and tone: part of the charm of a natural product. To seal and protect the freshly planed walnut timber, we use a natural look lacquer. If you are looking to match your walnut bed with any of your current furniture please request a timber sample from us, but do note that wood samples should be taken as indicative of the wood and finish – it is not possible to guarantee an exact colour match.

If you think it’s important to buy timber from sustainable forests, rest assured! Our walnut is sourced from well managed forests on the eastern coast of North America. Buying timber from managed forests ensures that new trees are planted and the cycle of planting, growth and harvest can continue.

Sustainability

Natural Bed Company wooden beds only use timber from sustainable sources and never use endangered tropical hardwoods. All our timber is from a legally certified source and purchased under EUTR (European Union Timber Regulation). Our pine is from Scandinavia and our hardwoods – ash, oak, maple, cherry, walnut and beech are from the USA or northern Europe. Buying timber from managed forests ensures that new trees are planted and the cycle of planting, growth and harvest can continue. We think it is important that the amazing natural resource of timber should be used to make furniture that will last.

Caring for your Furniture

Unless otherwise specified, our beds are finished in a durable Natural look (low sheen) lacquer. This provides an easy to care for and durable finish that doesn’t compromise the natural beauty of the wood grain.

Solid woods may expand and shrink slightly with differences in temperature and humidity. Take care not place your furniture next to radiators or anywhere subject to any excessive changes in temperature or moisture content. If you are using our bedside tables – we recommend that any beverages should be placed on mats and spillages should be wiped up immediately to prevent marking.

Cleaning

To clean the wood finish, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and immediately buff with a dry cloth. Silicone based polishes should not be used on the wood too often as they build up and leave a sticky residue on the surface.
