Basically we want to design traditional room because we want comfort, serenity, relaxing, far from crowded city (eventhough we live in a city), and maybe we want to present ambience of childhood house. There are simple things you should know when you want to design a room in traditional Indonesia style. Here it is the exposure.

 

Traditional style is often linked with Rustic Style which is old and ancient. Traditional room of Indonesia is far from modern nuances or metal, iron, and stainless steel furniture. This room is dominated with wood element or furniture, in Indonesia the wood furniture usually is engraved, sometimes it is even displayed without finishing. This furniture is Classic with soft curves, and smooth. This is a mix of straight lines with curved shape.

 

When you want to choose colors for traditional room, choose smooth colors or brown or white. Accessories such as lamps, ewers, flower vases, mirrors, plants, displays, etc, usually is arranged symmetrically. You can also find branches nuances on the accessories.

“Back to nature” has become a trend and it is supported by many parties and governments who care about the environment. Societies especially in developed countries change their habit to use natural materials or reducing plastics. They use tumblers for drinking, food boxes, and changing wrapping from plastics to pulp materials. We should appreciate these acts for sustainable environments.

 

CV Alas Gembol sells many wooden products such as bowls, fruit baskets, cutting boards, etc. These products are really durable, environmentally friendly, and safe for health. For example when we cut vegetables on a plastic cutting board, of course, plastic material will peel off along with vegetables (micro plastics). But it is different if we use wooden cutting board. There will be no harmful material from wooden cutting board. Therefore, it is safe.

‌The stabilization of wood is very influential if the wood is to be made furniture, because if the wood is not stable it will not be sturdy it can be destroyed, at least another bad thing is if the wood is not stable to make furniture, then at least it will be asymmetrical and wobbly. This instability is not only detrimental to the use of wood, it will also cause a person’s risk, unstable wood that is made into furniture at any time can fall on someone and fall, there will be injuries. For example, in furniture we often get loose connections which result in loose wood glue, slit doors, porous windows due to a lot of looseness. If the wood is for crafts, there needs to be sufficient drying. So that it is not damp and rotten, just imagine if your wood is weathered and damp then cracks will arise. There are several methods to stabilize the wood :

1. Coating method

The coating method is done by coating the surface of the wood which aims to be a cover, such as in paint and varnish. This method is done to minimize the exchange of moisture between wood and air. Although this does not fully affect the shrinkage.

2. Bulking method

 

This method is used to maintain dimensions, which expands the wood to maximum yield. Dimensions developed for example resin, glycol, polyethylene, etc.

3. Methods of changing the chemical compounds that make up wood

 

Changing the chemical compounds that make up wood is very necessary, where we can take the hydroxyl group compounds in cellulose and replace them with compounds that are less hydrophilic. Do you know what compounds are less hydrophilic? Examples that we often find are nitro compounds, acetyl, and methyl.

 

4. Using the cross-linking method

 

The use of this method aims to prevent a wooden surface from water that will enter. So that the wood remains stable, usually this formation is followed by cross-linking of the molecules of the cellulose chain.

 

Water Stains

– Apply toothpaste to a cloth that has been soaked in water, if the water stain is rather difficult to clean then use washing soda (soda ash). You can buy soda ash at a chemical store. If you still can’t remove the stain, rub it with a cork.

 

– Mix the ashes with a little cooking oil then rub this solution on your teak furniture.

White Stains

You can dip the cloth into cooking oil that has been mixed with cigarette ash. Rub the cloth over the stain until there are no more marks. Another way is to use a cork dipped in a solution of cooking oil and cigarette ash. Then rub the cork into the stain and then clean it with a soft cloth.

Wax Stains

Sometimes we put candles on the table without giving a base underneath, this can cause melted wax to drip on top of the candle making it difficult to clean. But don’t worry, there are ways to clean melted wax without damaging your teak furniture.

 

The trick is to use a hair dryer that is already hot, then point the hair dryer at the former wax stain until the wax melts again. Immediately you take a soft cloth or tissue then rub it on the table furniture until it is clean. The last step is to rub the table again with a wet cloth mixed with a little vinegar.

sticker marks

Children often put stickers on walls, doors, windows or furniture. If it’s been a long time, it will be difficult to clean, but never scrape the stain using a sharp object because it can damage the furniture itself.

 

Drop a little cooking oil on the sticker you want to clean, let the oil seep. Then rub using a soft cloth. Repeat until the sticker is removed and the stain is gone
