Bellona furniture is more than a part of your home—it’s a reflection of the life lived within it. Every surface touched by daily routines, every cushion shared during moments of joy, and every detail crafted with purpose deserves lasting care.
With thoughtful upkeep, your furniture does more than last—it continues to offer comfort, elegance, and reliability through every season of life.
Everyday Habits for Lasting Quality
Gentle, Consistent Cleaning
Dust is subtle, but persistent. Wipe surfaces regularly with a soft microfiber cloth to preserve their natural glow. For more thorough care, use a mild soap and water solution on a slightly damp cloth—never wet. Always dry afterward to protect finishes and fabrics.
Protect from the Sun’s Embrace
Natural light is uplifting—but too much direct sunlight can fade finishes, fabric, and leather over time. Position your furniture out of direct rays or soften light with sheer curtains to maintain timeless joy in every detail.
Guard Against the Unexpected
A stylish lamp, a decorative bowl—these small touches complete a room, but they can leave marks. Add felt pads beneath them to protect surfaces and extend the life of your furniture’s clean lines and sleek finishes.
Caring for Fabric Upholstery: Softness That Stays
Vacuum with Intention
Use an upholstery attachment to remove dust and allergens weekly. This not only keeps things looking fresh—it supports a healthier space to breathe, gather, and rest.
Respond to Spills, Gently
Life happens. A knocked-over coffee or an excited pet is no reason to panic. Blot (don’t rub) spills immediately with a clean cloth. For deeper stains, use a mild solution of water and soap, testing it first on a hidden area. Avoid over-wetting the fabric to preserve texture and structure.
Add a Fabric Protector
A discreet layer of stain resistance can go a long way. Especially in high-traffic family zones, this extra measure means more freedom to live fully without worry.
Nurturing Leather: Beauty That Deepens with Time
Dust, Then Wipe Down
A weekly dry cloth will keep the leather’s surface smooth and dust-free. For regular clean-ups, use a damp cloth with plain water or leather-specific cleaner.
Condition Every 6 Months
Leather, like skin, thrives when moisturized. Apply a leather conditioner to keep it supple, prevent cracks, and maintain that rich, lived-in glow that only improves with age.
Wood Furniture: Preserving Warmth and Character
Gentle Touches Win
Dust with a microfiber cloth, polish occasionally with a wood-specific solution, and always dry the surface after wiping. Wood responds to consistency and care.
Avoid Moisture and Heat
Wood expands and contracts with moisture. Keep it away from radiators, humidifiers, or cold drafts. This protects both finish and structure from distortion.
Metal Furniture: Sleekness That Lasts
Clean and Protect
Wipe metal surfaces with a soft cloth and gentle soap. Dry thoroughly. To prevent rust, consider applying a clear wax coating in damp climates.
