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.

As most people already know, old barns come in various colors and different textures. These are naturally brought into one's home when they consider taking recycled materials. In addition to that, they can expect durability, as pieces that are not in good condition are not resold. There weathered appearance also means that they could stand up to some bumps without any visible damage occurring to them.

Moreover, one can apply this look to any home. It can go into one specific room or be carried throughout the home for a common theme. It could look great in a rustic kitchen, or an ultra modern bathroom. The end result could be as simple as complementing the existing decor, or creating a bold contrast.

The recycled wood can come from various sources, so choosing it is definitely a personal preference. Consider that it was previously a part of another structure, and has been recycled after being disassembled. Get it from a good source, which is one that can provide the history behind it.

Wall decorations made with this old wood can make for truly eye-catching additions that could be the subject of many conversations. These rich textures can embrace beautiful art and family photos to add more style and substance to them. Although they are old and seen as rustic, they are also a fresh approach to interior design, which has become a very big trend that seems like it's 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.
