A growing trend in home decorating is the use of reclaimed wood. Reclaimed wood is wood that has been recycled from a location where it was used previously. It comes from a variety of sources and can be used in various ways in the home. One example of how it is used is in reclaimed wood beds here in Los Angeles. Let’s take a look at some of the common sources of reclaimed wood. - Barns – Old barns that are being torn down are often a popular source of reclaimed wood. The wood is often in good condition and can be easily adapted to many projects.
- Shipping crates – Shipping crates can often be an excellent source of reclaimed wood. These crates will often show weathering and possibly staining from exposure to various climates. This wood is a great choice for creating a centerpiece in your home.
- Salvage yards – All sorts of wooden items end up at salvage yards. They often have a great diversity of items that may allow you to create items for every room in your home. If you are attempting a larger project, you may want to be sure that there is sufficient wood to complete it.
- Boatyards – For many years, wood was the most popular material used to make boats. Even on modern boats, teak is still a popular choice because of its resistance to rotting and ease of care. Searching a boatyard can yield a variety of unique wood pieces for your project.
Finding reclaimed wood to use in your home can be exciting. Walking through boatyards or exploring old, retired barns can give you a sense of nostalgia. The best part of using reclaimed wood though is knowing that you are helping the environment by recycling wood that has already been cut down. Many times that wood will still have many good years left in it. So go ahead and find that perfect reclaimed wood bed in Los Angeles to complete your home and add a touch of uniqueness to it.
