There’s nothing like the authentic patina and rich hues of reclaimed wood to warm up a room. Even a simple panel or shelf can bring a unique, natural element to a room \u2013 whether the room is modern or traditional, it comes into play, adding character and warmth. A table is an easy way to add notes from wood, but why not think horizontally and use a board as a headboard or driftwood to frame a mirror? If you want to create a minimalist atmosphere, here are 10 ideas to get you started.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Frame it white. <\/strong>This minimalist door, completely surrounded by white, looks very eye-catching. Finding an old-fashioned wooden design at a scrapyard, but be sure to hire a professional to hang all the doors \u2013 it’s a very tricky job.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Use white oiled wood for Scandinavian charm. <\/strong>Using white oiled wood is a great way to enjoy the grain and texture of reclaimed wood, but with a paler overall appearance. Thanks to the use of wood, this Scandinavian-style kitchen looks fresh, warm and inviting, adding a lot of character.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Create your own fixtures. <\/strong>A wooden beam hangs from the ceiling and is filled with light bulbs, forming a striking chandelier. It’s also a great way to incorporate the bare light bulb hot trend \u2013 why not try this look with colored wires?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Build a console full of personality. <\/strong>These scaffolding planks are joined together and mounted on short legs, creating a surface for displaying trinkets and treasures. The details and wear of galvanized steel tell their history and add character to this simple space.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. Call the classics. <\/strong>A much-loved farmhouse table is the easiest way to add a woody touch to a room. This piece brings warmth to a cool white kitchen and can be used as a surface for cooking preparation or informal dining.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6. Prepare a headboard for your bed. <\/strong>These reclaimed wood headboards fit perfectly with the natural look of the room. Make sure that any planks you use are carefully sanded to avoid chipping \u2013 smooth wood will still add a lot of color and character.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

7. Consider cold cladding. <\/strong>This bathroom is located in a former stable, and the original walls have been demolished and renovated to create a stunning feature. Look for panels in the scrapyard \u2013 even a small portion will contrast with sleek, modern bathroom fittings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

8. Take a smooth route. <\/strong>Reclaimed wood doesn’t have to be coarse. This table has the nicks and scratches left over the years, but it has been sanded and waxed to give it a smooth and silky surface. The transparent chairs around it are a clever design that makes the table a star.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

9. Don’t neglect painted works. <\/strong>Lacquered reclaimed wood can also add charm \u2013 just choose pieces with a bit of history. These panels serve as beautiful headboards, with intricate carved patterns and distressed finishes that make them a perfect match for the rest of the painted wood in the space.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

10. Go outdoors. <\/strong>Dining al fresco is a real treat during the warmer months. A table made of recycled wood blends in with the natural environment and is sturdy enough to sit all year round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
