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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Entire walls are decorated with this material in order to provide that focal point that every room needs. They can dress up and otherwise bare backdrop behind the couch, or one in the bathroom. It will not only look and feel good within the space, but also within the homeowner who knows that this environmentally friendly solution has many benefits attached to it. Great ideas can be found in design magazines and online.
