What are the qualities of birch wood?

Less well known than oak or beech, birch wood is nevertheless an excellent option for interior design projects.

Here are the main qualities of birch:
  • Visual appearance: fine and even grain, light color ranging from creamy white to pale yellow
  • Mechanical strength: semi-hard and dense wood, ideal for tabletops and shelves
  • Ease of machining: easy to cut and machine, smooth finishes
  • Versatility: suitable for furniture, paneling, flooring, and decorative elements
  • Dimensional stability: low tendency to warp


This noble material fits perfectly into contemporary and Scandinavian styles thanks to its naturally light tone.
