Reclaimed Wood in the Entryway: An Elegant and Eco-Friendly Finish



Reclaimed wood does much more than your usual array of wooden finishes that are becoming all too common once again in modern homes. It adds a unique rustic flavor to the room that just feels so very authentic. The worn surface of reclaimed wood coupled with those little imperfections and tiny nicks all add up to create the appeal of home interior that has aged gracefully over years; possibly decades. Yet all this becomes a part of your new home and you have the added advantage of knowing that you have contributed in your own little way for a better and greener tomorrow by saving a tree or two! It is hard to imagine a better way to welcomes guest to your home than with a dash of reclaimed wood magic in the entryway.

There was a time when materials like wood, concrete and brick in the entryway were papered and plastered over for polished, man-made finishes. But that trend has completely reversed in the last two decades with exposed brick, raw concrete finishes and cozy wood surfaces once again making a grand comeback. With reclaimed wood you have the added advantage of a ?moral high ground? and there are many different ways in which you can bring this material to the entry without a dramatic revamp in style. Take a look at the best inspirations and coolest ideas ?
