How to furnish a home in Boquete, Volcán and the highlands: constant damp, mould and wood that will not warp.
Furnishing a home in the highlands. Boquete, Volcán, Cerro Punta, is a different challenge from the city or the coast. Here the enemy is not heat but constant damp, mist and relative cool. Furniture lives among humid drafts, and the real threats are mould and wood that warps.
Materials that perform in the mountains
Well-dried solid wood is essential: poorly cured wood warps under permanent humidity. Cedar and other stable woods behave well; high-performance fabrics keep mould out of upholstery. The visual warmth of wood, happily, suits the mountain climate perfectly.
