Achieving A New Look With Old 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.

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.

Some people are stumped with regards to how it would look in their homes, and the tend to avoid it. This is common among average people who don't really understand how to mix old and new together to create a beautiful space. Certainly, it is the solution in a rustic theme because the material itself is naturally aged and looks rough. However, one can take this rough and rustic look and blended into a modern theme, too. This would create visual interest because of the old and new mixing, and the high polishes being toned down with the rough textures.

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.

Decorations using this material that are mounted on display are really eye-catching decorations, as well. Photos and art can be framed as they are embraced in these rich textures to provide the overall rustic feel. While they may feel rustic, and appears so, they are a fresh approach to design and a trend that has caught on and is here to stay.

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.
