Learn how to use reclaimed wood in your next design project.
Reclaimed wood is not only trendy in modern design, but it’s a great way to use recycled materials in a creative and practical way. Repurposed wood adds warmth, color, and natural charm to a space and both commercial and residential designers enjoy using it to add a finishing touch to a space. Here are multiple ways you can use reclaimed wood in your commercial design.
Shelving
Instead of using run-of-the-mill plastic containers or wood that’s been painted to match the color of the wall, use reclaimed lumber in this application. It’s a simple yet purposeful way to make an office look more contemporary while enhancing the function of the space.
Mirrors
Mirrors along go a long way toward making a space look and feel bigger. When you use reclaimed wood around the mirror, this rustic element brings more natural texture into the space to make it appear even more open.
Ceilings and Beams
Interior design is all about giving a space more life and energy, and using dimension, texture, and color to do it. Reclaimed wood as exposed beams on the ceiling draws the eye up and around the space. It brings in more warmth and is the perfect way to establish a specific aesthetic.
Seating
You might not think that reclaimed wood would be the most comfortable option for seating. However, when paired with upholstery, it can make your lobby, waiting room, or office feel more welcoming. Plus, reclaimed wood is rugged, which means that you won’t have to spend as much time and money replacing worn out chairs.
Wall Cladding
Using reclaimed wood on the walls in your commercial space is a great way to create better sound absorption. It also takes away the need to paint and repaint the walls. Wooden walls create a rustic look that’s also chic and contemporary. It’s great when used in large spaces like lobbies, waiting rooms, and corridors.
Moldings
If you want to use reclaimed wood as an accent rather than a feature, then moldings are a perfect application. This organic material will add just the right amount of style and flair without being overwhelming.
