Sunlight can significantly damage wood furniture, causing fading, discoloration, and drying of the wood. To protect your Amish-crafted furniture from UV damage, Jake’s Amish Furniture recommends placing furniture away from direct sunlight whenever possible.
Install UV-blocking window treatments such as blinds, curtains, or window films to minimize exposure. These treatments are especially useful in rooms with large windows or glass doors that receive direct sunlight. Consider using sheer curtains for spaces that need natural light but still require protection.
Additionally, rotating decorative items like lamps, vases, and books on your furniture prevents uneven fading. Sunlight exposure can create distinct outlines where items are placed, so regularly moving these objects ensures even coloration.
Regular dusting not only keeps your furniture looking beautiful but also helps slow the effects of UV damage. By taking these preventative measures, you can protect your investment and enjoy your Amish-crafted furniture for generations.
