Reclaimed furniture is furniture which has been constructed using salvaged materials, such as timber, bricks, or railway sleepers. Also known as upcycled furniture, reclaimed furniture can absolutely transform the look of your home, offering unique pieces for your interior that cannot be bought from anywhere else. There are numerous benefits to installing reclaimed furniture pieces into your home, and Cawarden Brick & Tile Co have compiled just a few below to help aid your forthcoming furniture choices and design projects.
Environmental benefits of reclaimed furniture
Obviously, choosing to build furniture from reclaimed materials has its environmental benefits. The reuse and repurpose of old furniture items means that less products find their way to the landfill, thus minimising the volume of discarded materials per year. In turn, fewer harmful processes are needed in order to destroy the landfill site, and less greenhouse gases are released into the air. You can rest easy on your comfortable, reclaimed chairs knowing that you have done your little bit towards saving the planet.
Aesthetic appeal
Reclaimed furniture can look just as striking as new furniture; more so in fact if you’re trying to achieve a rustic, unique design for you home. Nothing can compare to the character of reclaimed furniture, the depth, beauty, and aesthetic qualities all infusing to create a distinct feature for your home. Reclaimed materials can be easily painted or reformed to suit your requirements, allowing your furniture to shift and adapt as the design trends do. Although reclaimed materials aren’t necessarily built to act as a cheaper alternative to newer furniture items, there is no doubt that there is something very special about a product that hasn’t been mass-produced by a big machine.
Reclaimed materials are very versatile and can be used for a number of interior projects, from decorating your entire home to creating bespoke decorations perfect for Christmastime.
