Live-edge furniture is when the natural edge of the tree is both visible and incorporated into the design of the piece. This may be a rough, rounded edge on a coffee table from the girth of the tree, or a chest of draws with an uneven edge or textured surface where the natural edge of the wood or tree lies. Typical features include raw, gnarly knots and stunning blemishes within the wood, adding to its appeal.
Live edge design is sure to impress. Even a modest bedside
table with a raw edge will catch the eye. It fundamentally changes the way you
interact in the space you call home. With natural, irregular shapes, live edge
pieces instantly makes a room more dynamic. It creates opportunities a straight
edge simply cannot achieve, and with a custom design, there is even more scope
for creativity.
The main design feature of any live edge furniture piece is
it’s rough, contoured edge. Every piece of timber is different, and so is the
room it inhabits. With so many different factors at play, from texture to cut
and varnish, harmonising your interior design is something that can take
anywhere from a few days to a month or two.
Traditional homewares stores will always supply a good range
of products, but taking some elements of design into your own hands and
personalising its shape, colour and size can work wonders no matter the square
meterage.
