Welcome to the Forest Decor Family
Hey There — You Found Us
That little code on your gift leads somewhere nice. Whether you picked this piece out yourself or unwrapped it from someone with excellent taste, thank you for being here. We put together a small welcome kit for you below.
MADE TO LAST
Sixty Seconds of Board Care
Solid wood gets better with age — if you treat it right. Four small habits keep your piece beautiful for decades.
Hand wash, right away
Warm water, a drop of mild soap, towel-dry on its edge. Never let wood soak.
Skip the dishwasher
Heat and steam are wood’s worst enemies — they crack boards and lift engraving.
Oil it monthly
Food-grade mineral oil or board butter. When the wood looks pale and thirsty, feed it.
Scratches happen
A light pass with fine sandpaper and a fresh coat of oil makes it new again.
Caring for a decor piece or gift box instead? Same rule of thumb — keep it dry, out of direct sun. Anything else, just ask us.
JUST FOR YOU
Two Keepers from Our Kitchen
One for entertaining, one for slow Sunday mornings. Both live happily on a Forest Decor board.
The 3 · 3 · 3 Board Formula
How to build a charcuterie board that looks like you’ve done this before.
1
Three cheeses — one soft, one firm, one bold
Think brie, aged gouda, and a blue. Place them first — at 10, 2, and 6 o’clock — and build everything else around them.
2
Three meats — folded, ribboned, rolled
Fold salami into quarters, drape prosciutto in loose ribbons, fan the chorizo. Keep each one in its own cluster.
3
Three accompaniments — sweet, briny, crunchy
Fig jam or honey. Olives or cornichons. Marcona almonds or candied pecans. Small bowls keep the wet things tidy.
4
Fill every gap
Crackers and sliced baguette around the edges, grapes and rosemary sprigs in the holes. A full board reads generous — empty corners read unfinished.
Portions rule of thumb: about 2 oz of cheese + 2 oz of meat per person for a pre-dinner spread. Double it if the board is dinner.
