What Is Reclaimed Wood Furniture
Reclaimed wood is wood that has been previously used in construction or other applications and has been salvaged or recycled for reuse. It is often used in building and furniture-making because it adds character and charm to a finished product.
Reclaimed wood can come from a variety of sources, such as old barns, warehouses, and other structures that are being demolished or renovated. It is often more expensive than new wood, due to the cost of sourcing and processing it.
Still, it can also be more environmentally friendly because it reduces the demand for new wood and conserves natural resources.
Those who seek reclaimed materials, recycled objects, and repurposed pieces of furniture to stock their homes with the stuff of life are quick to explain why when asked, and their answers are usually simple logic:
Why make something new when it may just use a little TLC? Reclaimed wood allows “new” furniture buyers to enjoy the beauty and majesty of old and gorgeous wood without sacrificing a living tree and all its benefits on the ecosystem.
Aside from that, most pieces of furniture made from repurposed or recycled source materials are fantastic conversation pieces with histories all their own. Today’s image gallery presents ten pieces of recycled furniture ranging from traditional and almost Edison-Esque to sleek and modern. And who knows what each item’s next incarnation might be?
Here are a few ideas
Building furniture
Reclaimed wood can be used to create unique, one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture. You could use it to make a coffee table, bookshelf, or even a bed frame.
Flooring
Reclaimed wood can make a beautiful and durable flooring option. It can add warmth and character to a space, and because it has already been used before, it is often more stable and less prone to warping than new wood.
Wall paneling
Reclaimed wood can be used to create a rustic or industrial look on walls. It can be used to cover an entire wall or as a feature wall in a room.
Accent pieces
Reclaimed wood can be used to make small decorative items, such as picture frames, wall art, or coasters.
Outdoor structures
Reclaimed wood can be used to build outdoor structures, such as pergolas, decks, or fences. It can add a unique and natural look to your outdoor space.
