There's a lot going on in this room, but your eye keeps going back to the oak.
That's usually a sign that someone's got the balance right.
The fluted wardrobe adds texture, the shaker panelling keeps things simple, and the natural timber brings warmth into the space.
Finished with Rubio Monocoat to protect the oak without hiding what makes it special.
Credit to for a great job.

You spend all that money on good oak. Why cover it up?
A finish should protect the timber, not hide what makes it special.
This oak bedside cabinet is a great example of letting the wood do the hard work. The grain takes centre stage while Rubio Oil Plus 2C provides the protection behind the scenes.
Simple, natural, and exactly how oak should look. 👌

Adding extra coats won't automatically make your finish tougher.
In fact, applying more than the manufacturer's recommended number of coats can sometimes affect the final finish and drying time.
The best results come from:
✔️ Proper preparation
✔️ Thin, even coats
✔️ Following the product instructions
With products like Rustins ASAP, it's all about applying the right amount, the right way.
