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.

Old barns that simply can't withstand the weather conditions are torn down and the material is reused. In finding the new uses for it, it avoids these materials ending up in garbage dumps. Plus, there are so many uses for this reclaimed wood, and a few ideas would make any space the envy of all one's friends.

Many wonder how to use this in their own homes, and the truth is that it can be used virtually anywhere, in any design scheme. Obviously, it is ideal in a rustic theme, as the material has been naturally aged, and appears quite rough and rustic. Just as easily, however, it can blend in beautifully with modern themes as well, providing a balance between the old and the new. The same balance would continue in the polished and the rough.

What's more is that this wall decor can take on numerous colors, as well as rich textures that simply don't exist in other materials. Furthermore, durability can be expected because these materials are strong. Since they already appear weathered, they can stand up to a few bumps and grinds without looking or becoming damaged.

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.

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.
