About Our Products

What kinds of products does Seabreeze Home Decor sell?

We offer a curated range of home décor pieces including handcrafted timber items, ceramics, candles, and kitchen essentials. Every product is chosen to bring a fresh, inviting feel into your home — whether you live by the sea, in the suburbs, or out in the countryside.

Are your products handcrafted?

Many of our products are handcrafted or artisan-made. We pride ourselves on sourcing quality pieces that are both beautiful and functional. Product descriptions will note where items are handcrafted.

Are your candles safe to use indoors?

Yes! Our candles are designed for indoor use. Always follow the safety instructions on the label — keep away from drafts, never leave burning candles unattended, and keep out of reach of children and pets.

Do your ceramics vary slightly in appearance?

Yes, and that's part of their charm! Handcrafted and artisan ceramics may have slight variations in colour, glaze, or finish. Product photos represent the item as closely as possible, but minor differences are a natural characteristic of handmade goods.

Are your timber products treated or sealed?

Most of our timber products are finished or sealed for everyday use. Care instructions are included with each product. We recommend keeping timber pieces away from prolonged moisture or direct sunlight to maintain their appearance.

How do I clean and maintain my timber products?

Timber products benefit from regular care to keep them looking their best. We recommend wiping down timber surfaces with a clean, dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid soaking timber in water or placing it in the dishwasher.

For deeper nourishment and protection, we recommend treating your timber pieces with a food-grade mineral oil. Mineral oil is odourless, tasteless, and safe for use on timber that comes into contact with food — making it ideal for chopping boards, serving boards, and kitchen timber pieces.

How do I apply mineral oil to timber?

  1. Ensure the timber surface is clean and completely dry.
  2. Apply a generous amount of mineral oil to the surface using a soft cloth or paper towel.
  3. Rub the oil in the direction of the grain, covering the entire surface including the sides and base.
  4. Allow the oil to soak in for at least 20 minutes (or overnight for best results).
  5. Wipe away any excess oil with a clean cloth.
  6. Repeat every few months, or whenever the timber starts to look dry.

Regular oiling keeps timber hydrated, prevents cracking, and enhances the natural beauty of the grain.

Does Seabreeze Home Decor sell mineral oil?

Yes! We stock our own brand of Seabreeze Food-Grade Mineral Oil, specially formulated for use on timber homewares. It's colourless, odourless, and completely safe for food-contact surfaces. Pick up a bottle when you order your timber pieces to keep them looking beautiful for years to come.
