How to Care for Solid Suar Wood Furniture

Simple tips to preserve its beauty — for homes, villas & boutique projects.

At Bondai Concept, we choose Suar wood not just for its stunning grain and organic curves, but for its natural strength and timeless appeal. It’s the kind of material that feels grounded and luxurious all at once — making it a favourite in both relaxed family homes and refined boutique spaces.

But like all natural, handcrafted things, Suar wood deserves thoughtful care. Whether you're styling a coastal villa, furnishing a boutique hotel, or curating your own home sanctuary, these simple steps will help keep your Bondai pieces looking beautiful for years to come.


Let it Breathe

Suar is a living material — solid, natural, and responsive to its environment. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents, as sharp temperature or humidity changes can lead to slight warping or hairline cracks over time.

Tip for Dubai homes: Use sheer curtains to filter sunlight and keep a consistent indoor climate, especially during peak summer months.

Wipe with Intention

A soft, slightly damp cloth is all you need for day-to-day cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners — they strip the wood’s natural oils and may leave permanent marks.

Pro tip: For boutique properties or busy spaces, we recommend a gentle natural soap diluted in water for occasional deeper cleans.

 

Nourish the Grain

Every 3–6 months, treat your Suar wood with a light natural oil — we love beeswax or a high-quality teak oil. This helps maintain its glow, nourishes the grain, and brings out the rich, earthy tones that make each piece unique.

Always test your oil on a small, hidden spot first to ensure it complements the natural finish.

Mind the Heat & Moisture

Use coasters, placemats, and felt pads under decorative items. Suar wood is tough, but prolonged contact with hot dishes or damp pots can leave rings or dull the finish over time.

In high-use areas like hotel lobbies or dining spaces, minimal layers like linen runners can protect surfaces while still keeping the look light and coastal.

Celebrate the Character

Tiny imperfections like grain shifts or small surface marks are part of what make Suar wood so special. It’s not factory-made — it’s shaped by hand, nature, and time. These small signs of life add warmth, history, and soul to your space.

We believe that’s the beauty of slow-made furniture: it grows more personal with time.

Whether you’re styling your dream home or sourcing for a boutique project, Bondai Concept’s Suar wood furniture brings calm, character, and craftsmanship into every space. Each piece is thoughtfully made and built to last — and with a little love, it only gets better with age.
