What to Consider When Selecting a Piece of Barnwood Furniture

 

1. Furniture Needs

First things first, you need to decide what type of furniture you would like for your home. Take a look at your most used spaces in your home such as the kitchen or the living room. Could you use another seat or another table? Outline each space’s needs and then prioritize them based on your budget. This keeps you focused in your shopping.

2. Type of Wood

Barnwood will typically fall under one of two categories: hardwood or softwood. Here are four types of woods that are commonly used when building furniture.

Hardwood

  • Oak – used for modern furniture with a grayish-white or deep red color
  • Maple – used for all types of furniture with a light brownish color

Softwood

  • Cedar – used primarily for chests and closets with a deep red color
  • Pine – used for all types of furniture with a creamy, yellow-brown color

3. Room Décor

What room are you putting your barnwood furniture in? Is the room modern or rustic – formal or informal? A piece of oak furniture will be great for a modern feel, whereas, a piece of pine might give off a more rustic vibe. Custom barnwood furniture will allow you to better incorporate your current décor themes into your new piece!

A handcrafted piece of reclaimed barnwood furniture is one-of-a-kind, statement piece for any home. You’ll never see a duplicate because there’s something special and unique about the process of working with your hands; you’ll definitely be able to see that difference.

You might not realize it, but wood ages beautifully. Since the wood was harvested a while ago, its independence and exposure give it a classic texture that’s guaranteed to be sturdy. Not to mention, the wood used to create a piece of barnwood furniture had supported another structure for a long time. This speaks to its durability and the interesting nature of the origin of reclaimed wood.
