When I think of reclaimed wood I think Green and I think DIY. Repurposing used materials is a fantastic way to keep our planet healthy. Also, utilizing reclaimed wood to add texture to your walls in a great DIY project for the hands-on readers out there.
Reclaimed wood can take on a range of styles from chic to eclectic to rustic, yet no matter what look you're going for it definitely serves up a serious texture and design punch.
The two images above from Home on the Range and Brit+Co feature reclaimed wood walls that are bold, knotty and rustic.

If you don't want to commit to an entire wall try punctuating an accent wall or a fireplace.
