Teak, Oak, or Walnut? Choosing Wood for Indian Homes

Furalto Studio

Climate, colour, and care — a clear comparison of the woods we use most in custom and catalogue pieces.

Wood choice changes the mood of a room as much as upholstery does.

European Oak

Warm, readable grain. Ideal when you want light, contemporary rooms that still feel grounded. Pairs with cream bouclé and champagne metal.

American Walnut

Deeper and more formal. Beautiful against plaster walls and brass. Needs a little more care with direct harsh sun over years.

Teak

Naturally resilient in humid climates. A practical favourite for clients who want longevity without fuss — especially near coastal or monsoon cities.
