Reclaimed and natural wood furniture is the perfect way to add a rustic and earthy touch to your home. A natural decor is great for those who live in more rural locations, and who want to completely embrace their surroundings whilst still maintaining a chic look.
Reclaimed wood furniture can give an antique feel to any home, and make it incredibly comfortable and homely.
There are many fantastic pieces of furniture around to help you achieve a natural look in your home including an array of stunning mirrors, storage benches, planters, baskets and smaller accessories such as coat hooks.
The willow hanging heart is the perfect addition to any room, and looks great against any colour wall.
One of the great things about reclaimed wood furniture is that it is extremely durable, and any marks or scratches can add to the overall antique feel. This makes it a fantastic choice for those who have pets and children.
Reclaimed wood furniture looks fantastic when combined with shabby chic pieces, and you can create a truly unique home interior to be proud of.
If you’re bored of your old decor and looking for a unique but stylish new look, then shabby chic furniture could be the way forward.
Shabby chic is a type of furniture that is designed to look extremely homely. Pieces are made to look old and ‘worn’, and as though they have been handed down through several generations- resulting in an elegant yet traditional look.
Several different pieces of furniture can be used to create the look- including cabinets, dressers and chests of drawers.
You can create a shabby chic look in all, or just one room of your home. The look is particularly popular in living rooms and kitchens- as there are a fantastic range of shabby chic accessories available- such as antique style hooks, candle sticks and crockery.
The shabby chic look is extremely cost effective to create, and is great for homes with children or pets- as any damage to furniture or accessories is far less noticeable than on more modern styles of furniture.
If you’re looking for a little inspiration, then browsing interior design magazines and websites can help you create the perfect shabby chic look.
