Decorating your home with Luxury High Quality Furniture

We can assure you that any high-quality furniture, whether the high-quality furniture belongs to the ArtesMoble brand or not, it will be the best option to decorate a home. It is now very common to hear the phrase "Democratize design” let us say to manufacture with the medium-low quality a specific fashion design for a quick turnover, products which are predicted to go out of fashion, to break, to be useless in a short time, and be replaced for new ones. 

Today multinationals, importers, and large furniture design businesses promote low cost, which means low prices and poor quality. A culture that condemns us to invest again our time and money to buy new furniture to replace the broken one, generating new residues, and consuming more natural resources and energy. Low cost generates a predatory impulse, which is difficult to restrain. How many people have bought things that are useless, wasting time and money?. Probably many people have done it. Patience is a key factor in any buying decision, most of the time, we do not exercise it; even the low-cost culture pretends to kick our patience.  

Unfortunately, there are more low-cost products, and fewer high-quality products every day. Many brands have left behind the quality that guarantees the durability of their products, to offer medium-low quality items, that need to be replaced in a short term; "low-cost” can come with a heavy cost. 

If during life, a person has to buy the same item for the same necessity many times, the final result: low-cost product will be costly. We certainly would have spent more money than if we had bought a high-quality product, which we would continue enjoying, and we would not have wasted our time buying a new product and discarding it when broken, generating more residues, and using more natural resources. It can be a total disaster and a mistake. 

To replace a product with another new one is legal when it is by choice, because of getting a new design, better technology, better materials, new finishes o for your own pleasure. Otherwise, it will be abused. I doubt that an obsolescence culture can eradicate the high-quality products, since the famous agreement reached by the light bulb manufacturers at the beginning of the 20^thcentury, in which the bulbs could be manufactured with enough quality to last a century, agreed to set in 2.000 hours the average life expectancy for a bulb, obligating people to consume the same product many times. Is it abuse? This is what many businesses have decided to implement on their products.  

Thus, we can understand how a 28 years old dishwasher machine "Miele” brand continues working perfectly, while another dishwasher bought 7 years ago has already shown functional damages, suggesting to us the necessity to replace it with a new one. How is it possible? The same technicians confirm that products are not manufactured with the same good quality as years ago. Also, the current brands use own-brand hardware, instead of universal ones, obligating customers to buy their hardware at expensive prices, making its repairing difficult.

It is logical to think that some technological items, like TV, will need to be changed in a short term, but it is not applicable for furniture like a TV stand, however, it is common to find a TV over 3.000€ accommodated over a TV stand, which price does not exceed 800€, logically the TV furniture under 800€ will end with bent shelves, damaged drawers, and fade finish, forcing us to buy another TV furniture, that together with the increase of the CPI inflation of 2,5% in 10 years, a new TV stand of same features would cost around 1.000€, then, we would have spent 1.800€ for a TV stand. In contrast, if we had decided to buy high-quality furniture such as our Artesmoble TV stand, you would continue enjoying our elegant furniture as long as you want. The decision of replacing our high-quality furniture is up to you, it is not obligated by the furniture working conditions.

It is true, that decorating a home with luxury high-quality furniture requests an additional financial effort, but it is a one-off cost, that will be amortized in the medium term. Even the financial effort will be compensated from the first moment because high-quality furniture provides any environment with an elegant, welcoming, and distinguished look. Today you could count on the fingers of one hand the furniture that truly guarantees its original qualities, and that its perfect working conditions will last a long life. Over the years, you can start to get fond of high-quality furniture, because of the experience lived with it, such as our timeless crib for babies that turns into a divan, designed to be inherited generation after generation, the same crib that welcomed your mom and grandma. ArtesMoble luxury high-quality pieces of furniture is made of noble materials, manufactured with the know-how of Spanish joinery, and our exclusive finishing process, designed to last over time. 

There are some low-cost products that besides their poor quality, they are very toxic, and we do not say just it, because of the quality of their material or their contribution to polluting rivers, but for being manufactured by companies that exploit workers in abusive working conditions, even maybe they do not respect the childhood. Before buying a furniture or any product you should find out about its production and ask yourself the following questions:

Where it is manufactured?

Is the furniture manufactured with sustainable resources and eco-friendly processes?

Do you need to invest twice in time and resources?

In the case of imported furniture:

Does the company guarantee to comply with an environmental friendly process treating properly its contaminating industrial residues?

Does the company respect the country’s natural resources, perhaps the wood comes from illegal logging from countries that lack environmental regulations?

Does the company exploit its workers? 

ArtesMoble manufactures high-quality furniture in Spain in compliance with current regulations, we guarantee that our brand does not use harmful chemicals to the environment, harmful chemicals that most of the time are carcinogenic. ArtesMoble picks up and treats properly its industrial residues in specialized plants. We manufacture our furniture with high-quality raw materials, controlled and managed since the beginning to protect the natural resources for future generations. All this effort involves a relatively high cost, Nevertheless, it is well worth it.

You should know that when you buy furniture that has been imported and distributed in Spain, comes from it comes, those products are not required to comply with the same requirements of manufacturing in origin, perhaps without knowing, you are buying furniture manufactured with wood that comes from illegal logging, that is destroying the forest of Asia and Amazonia. Or you are buying furniture from factories, that are not treating properly their industrial residues, polluting rivers, or factories that exploit destitute persons. But well, This is the subject of another blog.

Another reality that calls my attention is to probe that generally, we are giving packaging priority over content. Many people are willing to accept long-life mortgage loans, paying in most cases a six-figure sum of money for the packaging (housing), and they are not willing to invest 20% of that amount in the content. When both subjects are important. At the end, it is the furniture that gives us the service. The bedroom chest of drawers that we enjoy every day, the coffee table we use to welcome our guest, the dining table and sideboard that give us a good table service, the entrance console where we accommodate the keys, or the office desk from where we help our customers. Furniture is a key factor to achieve style, without forgetting the decorative objects, like fabrics, rugs, lights, wall painting, that are necessary to update the environment, Decorative objects that can be changed after few years, if you want to have a fashion home. On the other hand, high-quality furniture is timeless, it does not need to be changed.

My advice is to decorate the home with patience, step to step, On the contrary what society promotes today, "I want it now”. To go little by little buying high quality furniture is more effective, practical, and funny, it gives more satisfaction and it is cheaper in a long term, than decorating and dressing the home in one go with medium, doubtful, or low quality furniture. Low quality furniture does not offer a proper functionality, elegance, and coziness, as a high quality furniture does. Artesmoble guarantees an eco-friendly furniture, which does not need to be replaced by other. 

Our luxury high quality furniture is the best high quality option available on the market, but we are not the only ones, there are other local and international brands that offer high quality furniture. Every manufacturer has its own style, woods, finishes, and features. Honestly knowing widely the furniture industry, I firmly believe that our brand ArtesMoble is one of the furniture design brand that best achieves to adapt its high quality furniture to any personal decorative style. We offer elegant, stylish, versatile, sober furniture together with our exclusive finishing process applied over the Spanish walnut wood in different tonalities, allowing our furniture to be easily integrated with furniture of other styles, different materials and finishes, to decorate classic, contemporary, and modern styles.
