Solid walnut furniture, made to order.
Written by Andrius Misiunas, Founder & Commercial Director, WOODAIM.
What walnut is like
Walnut is a hardwood with a rich, dark brown colour and a fine grain. It is chosen where colour is the point.
It costs more than oak and usually comes in narrower boards.
Where it works in hospitality
Walnut works best where a piece needs to stand out:
- Reception desks
- Statement tables
- Shelving
- Bar fronts
- Accent details
Where it's not the right choice
Because walnut costs more than oak and usually comes in narrower boards, it is rarely the right choice for a whole programme of furniture. It is often better used for statement pieces and accents, or combined with oak.
What we make in walnut
We can make walnut reception desks, statement tables, shelving, bar fronts and accent details, to your drawings. Walnut can also be combined with oak in the same piece or project.
Sourcing
All the timber we buy is FSC-certified, and we hold FSC Chain of Custody certification (FSC-C190674), so the FSC claim can be stated on your invoice.
Oak and ash are the core of what we make. See our oak vs ash guide.
