Question
Deep wood colour, not bright
Slightly deep wood colour, not bright: if light engineered wood is 1 and dark red walnut is 10, the colour wanted is around 6-7. Prefer natural wood for bookshelves, stair steps, ladders and wherever wood is needed - including reclaimed wood (it carries the beauty of time, rough rather than glossy). Outdoor positions such as the gate, side door... can also be prioritised. For interior doors inside the house, should composite be used for safety?
Suggestion
Wood safe for small children: prefer plywood over MDF; kitchen cabinet boxes use water-resistant WPB wood-plastic or plywood.
- Table and cabinet surfaces that do not scratch or hold fingerprints: Fenix material.
