The Role of Humidity in Wood Furniture Care

Share this article

Wood reacts to changes in humidity. High humidity causes expansion, while low humidity can lead to contraction, causing gaps, warping, or even cracking. Maintain indoor humidity between 40% and 45% to minimize this natural movement. In dry seasons, a humidifier helps maintain balance, while in humid seasons, an air conditioner or dehumidifier is effective. Stable humidity ensures your furniture retains its shape and structure.
