A Fresh Appearance With Reclaimed Wood Wall Decor

By Beryl Dalton


Old is new again in design. Often, the same thing occurs with fashion, as celebrities appear in vintage clothing that's been updated with modern approaches, like jewelry, makeup, and hair styles. In interior design, all the rage has to do with reclaimed wood wall decor. It's so beneficial on so many levels, and beautiful.

For starters, old barn wood, for example, is a wonderful solution for the environment. As the material was used in one way long ago, it has found a new use, so it won't end up in garbage dumps. There are many uses for reclaimed wood, aside from eye-catching wall decor that would tie in beautifully for an outcome that would be the envy of everyone.

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.

Applying it in the home is easy. It can go well in almost any room, or can be applied in various rooms to create a common theme and natural flow throughout the space. Consider using it in the kitchen, the bathroom, the living room, dining room, and so on. There is no end to where it can go, complementing the existing furniture and design scheme, or creating a bold contrast.

Choosing the recycled wood comes with personal preference. Keep in mind that it was used in another structure, and was disassembled and recycled before being put back on the market. As such, one can discover, if it comes from a good source, what its previous use was, and where it came from.

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.
