2. Walls of Reclaimed Wood

Bring the outside in with a reclaimed wood wall. Reclaimed wood paneling turns your wall into a quiet but compelling showpiece and adds a comforting ambiance to the room. It doesn’t matter if you have a TV, bookcase, fireplace, or artwork you want highlighted in a room, a reclaimed wood wall will look gorgeous behind it and give you precisely the effect you’re after.

3. Redo Your Floors in Reclaimed Wood

Want to redo a floor in your house? Wood flooring of just about any type can impart warmth to a room, but flooring of reclaimed wood has a singular beauty reflective of the time – often decades – the wood has been left outside to endure the effects of nature. Regardless of whether you’re a bona fide nature lover or someone who’s simply drawn to the appearance of weathered wood, you’ll fall head over heels in love with what a reclaimed wood floor can do to make your home come alive.

4. Cabinets of Reclaimed Wood

This is the perfect time to give your kitchen cabinets a do-over with reclaimed wood. It’s the natural way to improve the warmth and congeniality of your kitchen. Each panel of reclaimed wood evokes an amazing tale – of considerable time hidden away in an old building, for example, or in the crumbling structure of a barn or fence. And a trace of that tale will endure in your reclaimed wood cabinets, crossing your mind at such times when you lay eyes on them.

5. Reclaimed Wood Makes a Great Table

Tabletops incorporating or wholly consisting of reclaimed wood can lend a contemporary, decidedly novel ambiance to your dining room or home office. Meld the reclaimed wood’s natural tones and textures with your décor for a cohesive look that fulfills your expectations – as it takes your guests’ breath away!

6. Using Reclaimed Wood for Bookcases

Apart from the value we assign them otherwise, books make great decorative pieces. Set a book or selection of books on a coffee table or end table, on a bookshelf, or in a big bookcase, and they’ll surely capture the attention of guests. Their delightful variety is both called out and unified in bookcases of real wood, too. And bookcases of reclaimed wood, with their natural colors, knots, holes, scratches, and other traits, provide a decidedly eye-filling, one-of-a-kind furnishing.

7. Reclaimed Wood for Frames

The plain, natural look of reclaimed wood is ideal for picture frames. It actually can enhance your favorite artwork and personal photos in a most eye-catching manner. Note as well that frames of reclaimed wood can be crafted in a plethora of styles, thus they’ll complement just about any look you’ve established for your home.

8. Reclaimed Wood and Headboards

There’s little that can reinvigorate the look of a bedroom like a intelligently designed and constructed headboard. These days, when renovating, people are just as apt to rig a headboard to the wall behind their bed as they are to attach one directly to the bed itself. However you want it, a headboard constructed of reclaimed wood planking can be extraordinarily stunning. It’s natural tones and weathered features are easily adapted to an expansive range of styles, from antique to modern. With reclaimed wood, you can let your imagination loose to create the headboard you’ve dreamed about!
