Farrow and Ball paints are formulated with a high concentration of pigment and quality binders, which gives them a depth of colour that standard trade paints rarely match. When applied correctly to solid pine by an experienced carpenter, the finish is robust enough for everyday use on bedroom furniture. That said, solid wood furniture does respond to its environment, fluctuations in humidity and temperature can cause minor movement in the wood over time, which is entirely normal and a characteristic of solid timber. To keep the painted finish looking fresh, avoid abrasive cleaning products and wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth when needed. If a small area of paintwork does chip or scuff after years of use, touching it up is straightforward provided you know the original Farrow and Ball shade, another reason why choosing your colour carefully from the outset is worth the time.

The waxed solid pine top on this chest of drawers is hardwearing but a little routine care will keep it looking its best for decades. Every few months, apply a thin coat of clear furniture wax using a soft cloth, working it in with the grain and then buffing it off once it has had time to absorb. Avoid placing wet glasses or hot items directly on the surface, as pine is more porous than hardwoods and prolonged moisture exposure can leave marks. For day to day cleaning, a lightly dampened cloth followed by an immediate dry wipe is sufficient. Over time, the pine will develop a natural patina that adds genuine character to the piece, this is a feature of solid wood, not a flaw and one of the qualities that sets it apart from any manufactured alternative.
