Water Hyacinth
A delicate flower, the Water Hyacinth is harvested from tropical rivers. Originally from Portugal, she found in Burma an ideal climate to propagate. Her stem is used in making our furniture because it is tenacious, flexible, and suitable for all kinds of handicraft weaving. Her harvesting contributes to maintain the ecological balance of the rivers. Please provide us the amount you are willing to pay for each product.

When coupled with Asian art like wall hangings or Peking bone art, water hyacinth furniture can really create a tranquil place to relax.
Don't get the wrong idea; water hyacinth furniture is not only for casual living areas. Benches, tables and ottomans are all examples of the fabrication that fit perfectly into the most structured decor. You can create an Asian theme with water hyacinth furniture and less noticeable items like weights or silk tapestries.
You will be pleasantly surprised to know that water hyacinth furniture is just as durable as other types. Like Asian antique furniture, it does have specific care instructions, especially for waterproofing, but nothing too strenuous.

What rooms to you have in your home? Do you need living room furniture, dining room furniture, kitchen furniture or even more? You will need different things for a bathroom than for a bedroom and children¡¯s rooms have their own special requirements. Even your family cat may need a few special things.
If you are shopping for office furniture, you need to take your health into consideration. If a desk or chair is not the right size for you, you could be in a lot of pain by the end of the day. If you work at a computer all day long, this is especially important.
Furniture is used outdoors as well. Patio furniture, garden furniture and lawn furniture can all make your backyard more inviting. There is nothing better than enjoying a warm summer¡¯s day or night in a comfortable chair with your family and friends.
Once you decide what pieces of furniture you need to buy, you can think about which style you prefer. There are many different decorating styles out there and you may find one more to your liking than another. Contemporary furniture, retro furniture and antique furniture are just some of the styles that can be found.

Whether you decide to go to the store or shop online, you will find a huge selection that will satisfy anyone¡¯s needs.
Furniture is a major purchase that will be with you for many years. But if you do your research before running to the store, you will spend many happy years enjoying your home.
Home Furniture
Whether you are just starting out on your own in a bachelor apartment, or live with your family in a large house, you will need a wide variety of furniture. Each room of the house has its own special needs when it comes to home furniture. Your choices take empty rooms and make them yours. Choice your home furniture is influenced by your lifestyle and personal decorating sense. Your choice of materials, colors, and style will influence how you feel in each room of your home. Of course, in all rooms you will need some lighting. There are many varieties of lamps and lighting solutions out there. Choose based on your own personal taste and add lighting to suit the size of the room.
Select your room:
Living Room Furniture
Let¡¯s begin in the living room. It is important to consider several things when buying living room furniture. This room will not only be used by you, but also by the other members of your household and by family and friends passing through. This room should be comfortable and stylish.
There are a few basics that most people will need for the living room; a couch, some comfortable chairs, tables, and shelving or storage. This is the room that everyone will pass through and spend some time in during the day. If there isn¡¯t a comfortable place to sit and relax, your living room won¡¯t be ¡°lived in¡± very much. When shopping for living room furniture you should look for pieces that you find appealing to the eye and make you want to use them. Make sure you sit in the chairs, put your feet up on the tables and check out all doors and hinges on the storage units.
Dining Room Furniture
Now let¡¯s move to the dining room. Dining room furniture is a practical purchase more than a fashionable one. While you do want to appreciate the look of your dining room furniture, you really need these pieces to be functional. You most likely won¡¯t be in your dining room other than at the times when you are eating. What you will need in this room is a table, chairs and perhaps some storage for dishes and serving pieces. The size of the table and the number of chairs depends on your family¡¯s needs. For larger families, a table with an extension or leaf is a good idea. Storage cabinets can be large or small. A shorter storage unit can be used as a countertop as well. Ranging from formal to modern, there is no shortage of variety when it comes to dining room furniture.
Kitchen Furniture
The kitchen is another area of the home that is well used by all members of the household. The kitchen is often the meeting room of the house. Three meals a day are prepared in it and often eaten there as well. For these reasons it is very important that kitchen furniture be practical, comfortable and pleasant to look at. The basics needed are a table and chairs. If you have a large kitchen, you may want to add an island or serving cart as well. Stools can be used at an island or counter that is used for eating and socializing. While a dining room is often a more formal room, the kitchen is usually more casual. Kitchen furniture tends to be on a smaller scale with a more casual feel. Storage for dishes and pots and pans may also be needed in kitchens with little cupboard space. A variety of shapes and sizes of shelves, hutches and storage units can be useful.
Bathroom Furniture
You don¡¯t usually need very much furniture in the bathroom. But a few pieces of bathroom furniture can add storage and style to an otherwise boring room. A wall cabinet and mirror combination is always useful. The mirror will be used when you¡¯re getting ready for work in the morning and the cabinet will store all of those small items that you don¡¯t want cluttering up the counter. A laundry hamper within easy reach of the shower will eliminate a pile-up of wet, dirty towels. If you¡¯re feeling adventurous and want to customize your bathroom, you can add built in cabinets, sinks and shower enclosures. From cheap to expensive, bathroom furniture can personalize a generally plain room.
Bedroom Furniture
Most people want to create a relaxing, restful atmosphere in their bedroom. The bedroom isn¡¯t just used for sleeping but as a private room where you can escape the rest of the house. Therefore, it is important to express your personal style and meet your sleeping needs with your bedroom furniture. Of course, the first piece of bedroom furniture you will need is the bed. Try out as many beds as you can before buying. Lay down on them and roll around. If you sleep with someone else, get them to lie down beside you. If you get a bed that is too soft or too hard for you, you won¡¯t get a good night¡¯s sleep.
After you have your mattress and box spring, you may want to get a headboard and footboard. This is where your personal style comes into play. From traditional wood to modern streamlined metal, your headboard and footboard can be the key to your bedroom decoration.
After the bed you will need a dresser or wardrobe if you don¡¯t have a closet. More than just storing your clothes, the top of the dresser will provide useful space for items you need to get at quickly. The dresser and wardrobe will be large pieces that you may or may not want to match to the headboard and footboard.
Children Bedroom Furniture
Children¡¯s bedroom furniture will probably be your largest investment when it comes to child furniture. As with adults, a bed and dresser are the basics. Many beds and dressers will grow with your child through infancy to adulthood. This saves you from having to buy new furniture every few years. Some cribs convert from a crib, to a child¡¯s twin bed to a headboard and footboard for an adult bed. The safety edge can be removed from a change table to become a dresser that will be useful for years.
Office Furniture
If you work in a regular office you probably don¡¯t have a choice with regard to your office furniture. If you do have a choice though, you should take advantage. You will be spending most of you time in your office so it is important that you are comfortable.
Office furniture should be comfortable to work at and not cause you any pain. When you are sitting at a desk, working at a computer all day long, you can suffer from neck, back and eye strain. You should find a desk that is the right height for your body and is big enough to accommodate all of your work materials. You will also need a chair that fits you. It should have an adjustable back and enough padding to be comfortable to sit in all day.
You will need extra seating for guests in your office as well. Chairs or couches will make small meeting more comfortable and will make guests feel welcome.
You will need to have office furniture to store all of your materials as well. Filing cabinets work well for this. You can find filing cabinets in many sizes and styles including wood grain or basic metal. Make sure that you have enough room for what you already have and room to grow.
Computer Furniture
The main piece of computer furniture you will need is a desk. Whether it is for your home office or to put in the living room for family use, a computer desk should have certain characteristics. It should have several compartments to hold the many components of a traditional personal computer. A compartment to hold the CPU or tower out of the way will prevent you from hitting it with your feet. A cutout section at the back of this compartment will allow easy access to the various ports and connections. The computer desk should allow room for all of your computer components. These can include a monitor, printer, speakers and mouse. Many desks also have an attached shelving unit for your papers, books and manuals.
A good chair is also an important piece of computer furniture. If you are not sitting comfortably with enough back support you could find yourself very sore at the end of your video game session. You should look for an adjustable back and height control on computer chairs.
Bookshelves, lamps and storage cabinets can also be considered computer furniture. These can be useful in performing your work and assisting your play on the computer.
Home Office Furniture
Those of you who work in a home office will need much the same furniture as those who work in a more traditional environment. An appropriately sized desk, comfortable chair, filing cabinet and perhaps an extra chair for guests are all good basics to have.
Because most work from home involves a computer and telephone, your home office furniture should be ergonomic so as to reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries. You should be within easy reach of your keyboard, and not be too low or high in your chair.
You will have more freedom choosing your home office furniture than when choosing furniture for a traditional office. You can be creative with colors and styles at home and truly make your home office your own. With traditional office furniture, you must respect the style of the entire office.
Outdoor Furniture
Even when you¡¯re not inside, you still want a comfortable place to sit. In your backyard or on your balcony, you can create a welcoming, comfortable, relaxing space with your furniture choices. This is where patio furniture, garden furniture, and lawn furniture come in.
Outdoor furniture is made from many different materials. You can choose from aluminum, wrought iron, wood and plastic to best suit your needs. All of these materials are ideal for outdoor furniture because they are water resistant. Because your outdoor furniture will be outside for the summer months, or even all year round, it is important that it will stand up to the elements.
Garden Furniture
Garden furniture may need to have a smaller scale than patio furniture. In your garden, you can create a relaxing retreat where you can escape for some quiet time to yourself. Here you can place a comfortable chair and small table for your book and cold drink. A water fountain or bird bath can add to the calming atmosphere. A small bench can be placed in a shaded area for visitors to sit on a sunny day.
Lawn Furniture
If you have a large yard behind your house, you can make use of the wide variety of lawn furniture that is available. Basically, lawn furniture, including patio furniture and garden furniture, includes anything you may find inside your own home. You can even create a living room outdoors. A bench can be used as a couch along with several chairs and a wooden coffee table and some candles for lighting. Swings are always welcome in a backyard and planters, flower pots and umbrellas add to the enjoyment.
Patio Furniture
Your patio will often be used as an eating area during the summer months. For this purpose you will need a table and chairs. The size of your family will determine the size of dining set you will want to buy. Small bistro sets consisting of a small table and two chairs are ideal for a couple on their own, while a larger dining set with a larger table and four or more chairs will suit a family with children still at home.
Types
Antique Furniture
Many people will spend hours or even days shopping for antique furniture. It is their hobby. Antique furniture is a link to history, a conversation piece and can increase in value over time.
Antique furniture can be handed down through generations within families, can come from friends, and be found in antiques stores and at estate and garage sales. Antique furniture can be mixed and matched to suit your personal decorating taste and can often fit right in with more modern pieces.
In the United States, furniture must be at least 100 years old at the time of purchase to be considered an antique. Some repairs or refinishing may be needed on antique furniture.
Asian Furniture
Many people are attracted to Asian furniture because of its exotic look and feel. Chairs and armoires of wicker grass or intricately carved wood can easily be incorporated into your home. Both antique and modern Asian furniture displays an emphasis on aesthetics. Modern Asian artists often design furniture as well.
Asian furniture is different than Western furniture in its detailing and overall design. Asian furniture commonly includes images of Buddha, tribal masks, tapestries, and dragon and garden themed carvings.
Popular styles of Asian furniture come from Thailand, Japan and China. Each region and culture of Asia shows its influence in its furniture with Chinese furniture being the most popular.
Baby Furniture
Baby furniture can be more fun to shop for than other home furniture. You have the excitement of planning for a new baby, and you can be more creative and whimsical than with furniture in other rooms of the house.
When buying baby furniture it is important to consider safety. This is one furniture purchase where you want to do your research. Check the furniture for a registered safety association sticker such as one from the Canadian Standards Association. And don¡¯t buy used baby furniture unless you are completely sure that it meets current safety standards.
A poorly constructed crib can cause serious injury or even death. When buying a crib you should make sure that the railings are high enough that the child cannot lean over when standing and that the individual rails are spaced close enough together that the child¡¯s head cannot fit in between. Most crib related injuries involve falls and getting stuck between the rails.
Changing tables can also lead to injury. Make sure your changing table has a safety strap to hold the child in place. It should also have a raised edge to prevent the child from rolling off. Make sure that you have one hand on your baby at all times when using a changing table.
When you are setting up baby furniture such as cribs and changing tables, be aware of where you are placing it. Make sure these items are not near anything that could potentially harm the baby. Keep baby furniture away from anything that could be pulled over and onto the child, from heaters that could cause burns, and from blinds with hanging cords. Any hanging cords should be tied up high and out of reach or cut off.
Cat Furniture
Furniture for your family pet probably isn¡¯t the first thing that comes to mind when you¡¯re looking to furnish your home. But cat furniture isn¡¯t exactly the same as human furniture. Your cat doesn¡¯t really need a computer desk or comfy living room chair. He¡¯s quite happy to use yours. However, to keep your cat happy and healthy he could use a few special items that can be regarded as cat furniture.
To start, you¡¯ll need a cat bed. Whether you choose the basic soft pillow-type style or a regal canopy bed (yes, these really exist), your little friend will need somewhere to sleep. Of course your cat may still prefer your bed to his own.
Next, you¡¯ll need to provide your cat with somewhere to play, exercise and have some alone time. Cat scratching posts, perches, and houses will all help to keep your smallest family member happy and healthy. Ranging in size from a two foot plain, vertical scratching post to a multi-level cat condo to a giant seven foot climbing tree, your cat will have hours of enjoyment on his new cat furniture.
Chinese Furniture
Popular styles of Asian furniture come from Thailand, Japan and China. Each region and culture of Asia shows its influence in its furniture with Chinese furniture being the most popular. Common Chinese furniture includes ornate screens and wall hangings, water hyacinth furniture made from the dried reeds of the water hyacinth plant, and wooden furniture like armoires.
Contemporary Furniture
A popular way to decorate your home is with contemporary furniture. This style is streamlined with clean lines using mostly solid colors and simple patterns. Contemporary furnishings give a light and open feel to all rooms of the home.
The contemporary furniture style began in the 1920s and is often viewed as an art form. It uses interesting shapes and designs that you may not normally see in home furniture. Angles and curves are used in imaginative ways that are at once aesthetically pleasing and functional. Traditional and non-traditional materials are used ranging from wood to metal to plastic.
Many decorative items would also fall under the heading of contemporary furniture. Rugs, lighting, wall art and sculptures all use the contemporary style.
Italian Furniture
The Italian furniture industry is the largest in the world. This furniture is valued for its style, quality and functionality. In Italy, there exists a strong relationship between furniture designers and furniture manufacturers. This allows the designers to be creative while knowing that their products will be made to the highest quality.
The Italian culture places a high value on beauty. The center of the world fashion industry is in Milan and this influence has extended to the world of furniture design. Italian furniture, designed for all rooms of the house, is not just beautiful, but always useful as well.
Kids Furniture
Kids need much the same furniture as adults but on a smaller scale. Kids¡¯ furniture can be fun to shop for with its bright colors and interesting designs. Keep in mind though that while certain items might be fun for a five-year-old, you may want to purchase main pieces that will grow with the child.
Child furniture can include anything from comfy chairs and small couches to a computer desk. Look for furniture that fits the child so that they are comfortable when sitting and when working at a desk. As with adults, sitting in an uncomfortable position any period of time can cause back and neck strain.
Leather Furniture
The most common items of leather furniture are chairs and sofas. These items are popular due to their classic look and durability. Leather furniture is tear resistant and can last up to four times as long as furniture upholstered in fabric.
Leather furniture comes in a wide variety of styles to suit any d¨¦cor; from a classic, retro club chair to a modern, streamlined sofa. These pieces can be found in many colours ranging from natural tan to bright blue. Leather furniture is also very easy to clean and care for. The leather used on furniture has been preserved and should only need minor cleaning. A simply wiping with a damp cloth once a month will remove body oils and dust and prolong the life of your leather furniture.
Modern Furniture
A popular way to decorate your home is with modern furniture. This style is streamlined with clean lines using mostly solid colors and simple patterns. Contemporary furnishings give a light and open feel to all rooms of the home.
The modern furniture style began in the 1920s and is often viewed as an art form. It uses interesting shapes and designs that you may not normally see in home furniture. Angles and curves are used in imaginative ways that are at once aesthetically pleasing and functional. Traditional and non-traditional materials are used ranging from wood to metal to plastic.
Many decorative items would also fall under the heading of modern furniture. Rugs, lighting, wall art and sculptures all use the modern style.
Oak Furniture
A favorite for furniture, oak is a strong, durable, beautiful wood. Because of these characteristics, oak furniture is often handed down through generations. Be aware that oak wood, available in red or white varieties, is very hard and oak furniture can be very heavy. As a lighter alternative, oak is often used for paneling and veneers.
Pine Furniture
Pine furniture is light in color with dark rings and knots. It is commonly used for cabinet work, interior finishes such as flooring, and as lumber. Pine furniture can be less expensive than other types of wood and is therefore very popular. Pine is a soft wood that can be easily scratched or dented. Not necessarily a disadvantage, these marks add character to a well loved piece. Some people even pay to have these ¡°distressed¡± marks added to their pine furniture.
Rattan Furniture
Rattan is a natural fibre similar to bamboo. However, unlike bamboo, rattan is not hollow. Rattan, with its strong outer shell and soft inside, is very durable and will not splinter or break. Because of these characteristics, rattan furniture requires little or no maintenance.
Rattan furniture can add warmth to your home inside or out. Its several varieties and rich colors make it a popular choice. Commonly used to make chairs, beds, baskets and more, rattan furniture normally consists of a rattan frame with fabric upholstered cushions for comfort.
Most rattan furniture is imported from Southeast Asia where the rattan vine grows. It is ideal for outdoor use as it is impervious to the elements.
¸´¹ÅRetro Furniture
Retro furniture comes from our relatively recent past. It can date back as far as the 1920s but retro furniture is more commonly thought of as coming from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Original pieces and reproductions are sought after by those who are interested in furnishing their homes with something different than their neighbors.
Retro furniture differs from modern or contemporary furniture in that it often uses bright colors and patterns. Retro furniture can be found in specialty shops but may be quite expensive. Check out garage sales, second hand shops and online stores or auctions.
ÖÊÆÓµÄÏç´åµÄRustic Furniture
Rustic furniture is characterized by its hand made look. It may have bark left on the wood and often involves unfinished logs and twigs. You can even make rustic furniture yourself using simple hand tools and traditional building methods. Rustic furniture is most appreciated by those who love to be in a natural environment where modern industry is nearly forgotten.
Rustic furniture is popular for use at the cottage or in the backyard. It blends in with nature and gains character over time with exposure to the elements. The wood will darken and lighten in a variety of patterns. If rustic furniture is stained, the colour will penetrate unevenly adding to the rustic charm.
DIY Unfinished Furniture
Many people prefer to buy unfinished furniture. It can be painted, stained or left as is to suit your needs and is often less expensive than finished furniture. Those people who suffer from environmental sensitivities can avoid the strong chemicals used in furniture production by buying unfinished furniture. Any type of wood furniture can be purchased unfinished. Tables, bed frames, chests and chairs are all popular.
You have several choices when it comes to how to finish your unfinished furniture. You can paint, stain or simply seal the wood. You will most likely have to sand your unfinished furniture before beginning any of these processes. This will help the paint or stain to apply smoothly and evenly. Make sure your paint or stain is thoroughly mixed and apply with a brush, rag or sponge. After the color has dried, apply a clear topcoat for protection.
Used Furniture
Used furniture can be a good choice for many people. If you are a student moving into your first apartment, used furniture can be an inexpensive way to furnish your home. If you own your own house, you may want to find furniture with character that you can refinish to suit your d¨¦cor.
Good places to find used furniture are friends and family who may be storing items that they no longer use but are in fine condition, garage sales and used furniture stores. You should be able to find furniture that is in good condition at a good price (or even free) from all of these places.
When shopping for used furniture, be sure to thoroughly check for signs of damage. If buying baby or children¡¯s furniture, consult your local safety standards association for recalls.
Wood Furniture
Wood has long been the most popular material to make furniture with due to its strength and durability. When shopping for furniture, look for the type of wood that best suits your needs. Certain types have more of a tendency to warp or split than others. Wood furniture can be used both inside and outside the house. Two of the most commonly used woods are pine furniture and oak furniture.
Furniture Manufacturers
There are a countless number of furniture manufacturers out there. Depending on what type of furniture you are looking to buy, one manufacturer may be more appropriate than another. Below you will find descriptions of three major furniture manufacturers.
Furniture Online
Shopping online has become a way of life for many people. From groceries to clothes, shopping online allows you to compare price and selection before you even leave your house. Shopping for furniture is no exception.
Shopping for furniture online does have some advantages. If you live in a small town with little shopping selection, you can order online from stores that you can¡¯t find in your area. If you live in a major centre with lots of large stores, you can narrow your furniture search down online and know exactly where to go and what to look for when you do go shopping.
When you decide to buy furniture online, you need to keep certain things in mind. The colors you see on your screen may not be the same as they would look in real life. Also, if you are browsing websites before going to the actual store, you may not be able to find the same items at all locations. If you are buying from online auctions. you should make sure that the person you are buying from knows how to pack odd-shaped items so that they don¡¯t arrive broken.
