Casa Bella Furniture

Casa Bella Furniture: solid wood furniture from Warminster

Casa Bella Furniture is an independent, family-owned business based in Warminster, Wiltshire, that specialises in solid wood furniture for every room of the home. Its catalogue is built around mango, sheesham and acacia wood, complemented by reclaimed timber ranges, and extends to accessories such as mirrors, rugs, lighting, cushions, throws and tableware.

The company states that most of its pieces are designed and made exclusively for it, using ethically sourced materials, and that each item is hand-finished so that no two are identical. It also describes working with its factories in India to source raw materials from government-managed renewable plantations or local farms.

Wood types and collections

The range is organised both by room and by wood type. Shoppers can browse mango wood furniture, acacia wood furniture and reclaimed furniture, alongside a long list of named collections that span contemporary, Scandi, industrial, rustic and retro styles.

• Mango wood: Oslo (Light, Honey, Dark, Walnut, and Light/Honey/Walnut with brass), Copenhagen (Light, Honey, Walnut), Dakota (Light, Mango, Dark), Florence (Light, Dark, and Light with marble), Dahlia Dark Mango, Imari Industrial and Imari Mango & Brass, Shimla Light Mango, Hygge Cane & Mango, Urban Industrial Mango and Keeba Occasionals.
• Acacia wood: Kalmar Acacia and Acacia Live Edge.
• Reclaimed and industrial: Antigua Reclaimed, Boston Industrial and Urban Industrial.

Individual ranges are presented with their own finishes: the Oslo Light Mango line, for example, is described as 100% solid mango wood with a natural, soft sheen finish and a Scandi-inspired look, while the Imari Brass range combines solid mango wood with brass-effect metal frames and handles.

The catalogue covers the main living spaces of a house. For the living room it lists bookcases and shelving, CD/DVD shelving, coffee tables, console tables, mirrors, occasional chairs, rugs, side and end tables, sideboards and cabinets, TV and hi-fi units and wall shelves. The dining section includes bar stools, console and hall tables, dining table and chair sets, dining benches, dining chairs, dining tables, mirrors, sideboards and cabinets and wall shelves.

For the bedroom, the range extends to beds, bedside tables, blanket boxes and trunks, chests of drawers, desks, dressing tables and stools, mirrors, rugs, wardrobes, throws and bedspreads, and wall art and decor. The office selection comprises bookcases and shelving, desks, chests of drawers, console and hall tables, wall shelves, rugs, lamps and lampshades, and wall art and decor.

Showroom, samples and buying options

The business operates a showroom and offers a 3D showroom tour online. It provides free wood samples and nationwide delivery, and states that interest-free credit is available on orders over £300. A sale section and an outlet are also part of the site, and the company invites visitors to sign up for a newsletter that includes a 10% discount offer.

Sustainability and sourcing

Casa Bella frames its environmental approach around the origin of the timber rather than the manufacturing method. It argues that traditional solid wood production has a lower environmental impact than the factories used for laminate and veneered alternatives, and that the key issue is where the wood comes from. To that end, it says it works with its Indian factories to ensure raw materials come from government-managed renewable plantations or local farms.
