A New Look With Old Reclaimed Wood Wall Decor

By Beryl Dalton


In design and in fashion, it seems as though old is new again. Consider how many celebrities make appearances in vintage designs, simply updated with some modern approaches like up-to-date hairstyles. With regards to interior design, popularity has shifted to reclaimed wood wall decor because of its many benefits and beauty.

Generally speaking, the material comes from old barn wood. As such, it is great for the environment since it has found a new use. Rather than ending up in garbage dumps, it ends up adding style to so many homes, offices, and businesses. What's more is that there are endless uses for reclaimed wood, like wall decor, furniture, and more.

There are some people that are reserved about the material because they don't know that it would be suitable to their own style. Rest assured that it can be used in virtually any design scheme. Certainly, it couldn't be more true to a rustic theme, since it's a naturally aged material that is rustic and rough. Alternatively, consider how beautifully it could work with the modern theme. It can bring in some old to balance out the new, and some roughness to balance out the high polish.

Aside from rich textures, this would can have different colors that really can't be found in newer materials. What's more is that a consumer can expect the product to be long-lived because of its durability. Of course, being weathered, they won't look damaged, even if they do become subjected to a few bumps and grinds.

There are also many ways to apply this to a home. It looks stunning in various rooms, and can be used as a common theme throughout. However, people could use it only in one particular space in their homes, either in the kitchen, the bathroom, or other living spaces like the living room. It can be complementary to the existing furniture, or contrasting to it.

Personal preference certainly comes with choosing the recycled wood. It's important to remember that it was part of another structure, and since it had no longer any use in that structure, it was recycled after being disassembled. That said, it's important to choose from a good source that could inform the consumer of where it came from, and exactly what its previous use was.

Eye-catching decorations can be displayed with this material in so many ways. For example, these rich textures and colors can envelop beautiful family photos and expensive artwork just the same. They may appear to provide a rustic feel, but they are definitely a fresh approach in interior design. This is a trend that is here to stay, and has proven itself to be a staple in design.

What's more is that people can use these materials to decorate entire walls. That can help to create the all-important focal point that each room requires to complete. Otherwise bare walls, like those behind couches could be dressed up and warmed up so easily using such material. Finally, any consumer can feel good about this option, because it is an environmentally friendly solution that looks great and does so much for the planet.
