Blue Isle’s Pick of the Month: November

THE SOLEIL OAK SIDE TABLE WITH TRAY

November has us getting all excited about our unique side table. This is our striking cross legged lamp table in a weathered oak finish. With a simple single removable tray, this piece of furniture is functional and fashionable all at the same time.  It’s perfect for using as a tray to carry in some tea and snacks or as a storage space for any array of bits and bobs (below).

We also think it would work well as a lower bedside table. There’s no excuse not to have breakfast in bed, when you’ve got a ready made tray next to you! This piece is great quality and has some lovely oak detailing so it’ll stand out (in the right way!) wherever you choose to put it. The legs are also fixed in place so it’s very sturdy.

And what’s even better, is that there’s a matching coffee table too! Yet another striking cross legged beauty!

The Wonders of Weathered Oak

We love weathered oak furniture, but what makes it so much better than other materials? Well, we think we’ve sussed it out. Read on and find out…

Unique

When you invest in a classic piece of weathered oak furniture, you know you’re getting something unique. Made from natural oak, they have natural characteristics inherent in the grain and therefore differ from anybody else’s furniture.

Resistant 

It’s the same solid oak we all know and love but it’s sealed with a very matt finish with a white tint. Because of this finish, it retains its colour well, and you see less of the darkening and orange tones associated with normal oak.

Versatile

The muted tone of the wood means weathered oak can blend perfectly with both traditional and temporary interiors. The wood has an almost ‘grey’ tint to it, giving it a modern twist on the classic oak style we’re most familiar with. The Blue Isle weathered oak coffee table with serving trays showcases a newer, more modern design, perfect for a coastal themed interior, whilst many of our other pieces, like the weathered oak side table, favour the classic French inspired look. Both work well alongside linen and both blend well with either style, whatever your taste.

Durable

Weathered oak is made to last and it’s easy to care for, so it’s always worth the investment!
