Koa is known for its vibrant color and intricate grain patterns, and it’s a coveted building material for artisans who craft wood furniture. These pieces are synonymous with luxury and high-quality craftsmanship, and many homeowners seek them. Here are a few furniture pieces that can be crafted from Koa if you want to use this stunning material in your house.

How Can I Use Koa in My Home?

1. Dining Table

If you like to entertain, get a large Koa dining table and put it in the middle of the room. Its unique appearance will leave a memorable impression on first-time guests, and it’ll become the event’s statement piece and conversation starter.

Use placemats and a table runner to protect the wood from getting dinged or scratched by utensils and dishes. You can also use charger plates to catch any spills or small pieces of food before they reach the surface.

2. Bathroom Cabinetry

Koa is incredibly sturdy, and its strength can handle large countertops, sinks, and fixtures in the bathroom. We recommend using Murphy’s Wood Oil for day to day cleaning. When cleaning the material, avoid using harsh cleaning agents that can dry it out or cause staining.

3. Entertainment Center

Koa’s durability lets it support heavy electronics, like TVs, sound systems, and gaming consoles. If your living room gets ample natural light, make sure the Koa entertainment center doesn’t experience sun damage. When exposed to strong UV rays, the wood will fade and discolor, so close your window treatments to block light.
