PRODUCTS
Yes, we offer custom measurements and designs on our Black Salt Co Furniture and Decor products. Some furniture items may have a turnaround of 10-12 weeks.
Please email us at info@blacksaltco.com so we can talk you through the process.
Furniture:
Our timber furniture styles are made using a range of materials, but mostly Sungkai and Teak wood. Sungkai is a tropical timber commonly used in Indonesia. It has a beautiful 'blonde' colour and is used in our Seville and Coco Collections. Both Sungkai and Teak are used for its strength and long lasting durability. Both timbers are able to be used indoors and outdoors however like most natural materials they will naturally discolour over time.
To ensure longevity on your pieces, we suggest using a specific teak sealer for indoor and outdoor use. You can a sealer on any furniture or decor item and it will not affect the colour or stain of your item. Please check with a timber professional to clarify which sealer would work best. Our pieces leave our factory with a natural oil to finish the timber treatment, please be careful with fabrics, carpets and floors as this may stain.
Our rattan products are not to be used outside. If they must be outside (for eg. Hanging Chairs) then they must be undercover. Rattan can last longer in the warmer climates like NSW/QLD, however due harsher climates in VIC/TAS, they can wether quickly outdoors. Rattan also discolours naturally. Most of our products have a thin coating that protects the longevity of the material.
Please see Heavy Furniture below for Concrete and Marble products.
Cushions:
All our BSC cushions come with an insert. Some styles these are removable and covers can be cleaned, and some styles non removable (eg. Paloma Floor Cushions).
Cleaning and maintaining of our cushions is spot clean only with warm water. Do not machine wash natural fibres (Pero Seagrass Cushions) or naturally dyed fabrics (Moroccan Sabra Cushions) as the threads will seperate or colours will run. Due to the handmade nature of our cushions, sizes are as close to as possible.
For printed cushions, we always recommend:
- Hand washing for best results.- Cold gentle machine wash on light load or similar items.- If using washing machine do not wash with heavy items such as towels, matts, jeans/jackets.- Wash inside out where possible.- Do not tumble dry.- Avoid direct flat iron on print / Iron on the underside.
Due to the handmade nature of our cushions, sizes are as close to as possible.
Decor:
Each decor item will have product information listed on our website. For key styles, please see below information.
Our mirrors are hand crafted using rattan. As per our rattan furniture, we advised indoor use only and natural colouring may occur.
Our brass styles are 100% heavy, non rusting, brass. Some may experience natural discolouring. Our brass wall hooks come with a screw to be able to fit each individual brass style.
Our Clam Shells are resin, not a real shell. We approach this as a 'vegan' solution to protecting our reefs and marine life.
For our marble, onyx and stone decor pieces, each item may have a natural defect like cracks, holes, colourings or other imperfect perfections. This is the nature of the stone and natural elements which cannot be prevented. To care for your beautiful pieces, we suggest 'less is more' similar to our furniture pieces, warm water or a microfibre cloth. We suggest that the marble pieces are for indoor use only as cracking, bleaching or staining is a natural occurrence when exposed to the harsh weather elements.
Lighting:
Our lighting all come as pendant only and we do not supply the electrical lighting component in our lights. We suggest to purchase these from Bunnings, IKEA or lighting specialist stores to get the right one for the type of house/roof height etc. The electrical components come in a range of colours and lengths to suit the customers needs. Our lighting frames are constructed by metal and have a universal size to fit a light bulb.
Again, due to the nature of rattan we don't suggest these styles to be used outside due to weather conditions. However, they can be used undercover.
Pots & Ceramics:
Our handmade pots are a decorative styling pot only. These are not to be used outside or with soil or water. Our pots are handmade with natural Terracotta and most styles have been hand painted white. Due to being handmade, measurements also differ slightly with each piece.
Vintage Moroccan Rugs:
Our Moroccan rugs are 100% authentic vintage rugs from Marrakech. We hand select each style, which are all unique and one-off styles. Due to the vintage nature, our rugs have flaws, fading and 'perfect imperfections'. We believe this adds character and charm!
We suggest cleaning our Moroccan Rugs thoroughly with a vacuum prior to washing to ensure you get most dirt out of it first. You will then need to hang the rug up outside on a ladder or a strong clothes line (be careful as the rug will become extremely heavy once wet, so ensure you have a sturdy hanging area) Then you can use either a power washer or a garden hose on strong spray and wet the rug in a downwards motion so the dirt runs off the rug, do this both sides. You can use a soap if you wish, however we cant guarantee the colours will not run. Use as natural as possible soap spray and either scrub with a brush and/or power hose off. Let your rug dry outside in the sunshine for 12-24hours or if you wish to speed the drying time, you can roll up on a flat surface to drain excess water and then hang back up to dry naturally.
Black Salt Co Body Collection:
Our Black Salt Co Body Collection is designed in house and locally hand made in Torquay.Every product is:- Made with natural ingredients- Vegan- Cruelty Free- Australian Made
Marble & Concrete Furniture:
To care for your beautiful new pieces, we suggest 'less is more' with natural materials like marble, stone and concrete. Please use warm water, and a non- abrasive cloth or sponge and a safe eco-based cleaner that is specifically recommended for ceramic/marble/stone use. Please avoid using any harsh cleaners with acidic substances that will damage and dull the stone. You can also use a specific marble/stone protector spray so that you only need to dust and wipe down with a microfibre cloth when needed. Using coasters and placemats will protect longevity of your pieces.
The concrete and terazzo pieces are suitable for indoor and outdoor use. We suggest that the marble pieces are for indoor use only as cracking, bleaching or staining is a natural occurrence when exposed to the harsh weather elements.
All our pieces are of course hand made, slow made. Measurements and finishes may differ slightly to photos due to its natural materials and hand crafted. We love that each pieces is unique and we hope you do too.
