Creating a reclaimed wood border around a mirror can add so much to a room. From adding it to an elegant bathroom to hanging it in a rustic basement, it will be sure to add texture and that perfect finishing touch to any room in your home.

3. Fireplaces

While many people are used to seeing reclaimed wood on a mantle of a fireplace in a home, have you ever thought about using reclaimed wood on the wall behind the fireplace? Reclaimed wood is a great alternative to the basic brick that is usually surrounding the fireplace. Adding reclaimed wood creates an accent wall in the room and can really become that unique feature that completes the entire room.

4. Bathroom Tile

When you think of bathroom tile, you probably imagine smooth, ceramic squares lining the wall. But what about using reclaimed wood as tile for your bathroom?

5. Interior Walls

Adding a reclaimed wood accent wall to your bedroom is one simple way to give your entire room a facelift while staying in budget and without having to redo the entire space.
