How to Choose the Right Solid Wood Furniture for Your Home

Investing in solid wood furniture is not just about filling a room. It is about building a home that feels grounded, intentional, and built to last.

At Urbis Concepts, everything starts with the material: honest wood, thoughtful design, and finishes made to be lived with, not just looked at. This guide will help you choose the right solid wood pieces for your space, with direct links to products, sizing tools, and care resources.

1. Start With How You Actually Use Each Room

Before you fall in love with a table or a bed, get clear on how the space needs to work.

Do you host big family dinners or smaller weekly gatherings?
Is your living room more “movie nights” or “quiet coffee and reading”?
Do you need hidden storage, or do you prefer a clean, open, gallery-style look?

For a quick overview of who we are and how we build, visit our About page.

To see the full range of pieces in one place, browse our All Products page. Use it as your catalog view, then drill down into the pieces that match your lifestyle.

2. Getting Dining Right: Table Size, Shape & Base

The dining table is usually the anchor of the home. When you get the size and shape right, everything else in the room feels better.

Choose the right size

Simple guidelines:

4 people: 47–60" round or 5–6 ft rectangular
6 people: 60–78" rectangular
8+ people: 78" and above

For more detailed recommendations, use our Sizing Guide to match table sizes to your room dimensions and seating needs.

A great living room usually balances three things: a statement table, smart storage, and surfaces you can actually use every day.

4. Design a Bedroom That Lets You Rest

Bedrooms should feel calm, grounded, and functional. Matching collections help keep things cohesive without feeling too “matchy.”

Two strong starting points:

Add storage and side tables

5. Wood Care: Protecting Your Investment

Good furniture is an investment. The right care keeps the finish looking great and helps surfaces stand up to real life.

For care instructions, cleaning tips, and finish guidance, visit our Wood Care page.

If you use your table as a hybrid workstation, also see our Wood Standing Desk page, where timeless materials meet modern ergonomics.

6. When You Need More Than “Standard” Furniture

Some projects need a partner, not just a one-off purchase. If you are an interior designer, developer, hospitality brand, workspace, or retail concept, learn more about partnering with us on our B2B page.

For unique builds and one-of-a-kind projects, including live edge showpieces, you can start from: Custom Project – Adam.
