December 30, 2015 · oldbarnstar · 2 min read
Many see the New Year as a clean slate; making resolutions to better themselves throughout the year. Here at Old Barn Star our only resolution is to continue bringing our customers the highest quality handmade reclaimed wood furniture. You can start the year off right by incorporating these barnwood trends into your home. Go Beyond Frames With Unique Artwork

No matter your style or personal taste, there’s a way to work barnwood signs into your home. Painted wood signs are perfect for those who enjoy the classic look of vintage hand painted storefronts. You can easily adorn your walls with your favorite quote or image. Those who desire a more rustic aesthetic will prefer wood burned images and phrases. To create truly one-of-a-kind designs, assorted pieces of barnwood can be assembled together.

Add a New Focal Point to Any Room

Adding a reclaimed barnwood accent wall to your bedroom, living room or bathroom is a great way to add texture to your home. The floor to ceiling barnwood creates an instant focal point, immediately drawing the eye of your guests. Utilizing a variety of paint stains and finishes can add color and contrast, while old weathered planks provide a rustic feel. Accent walls also serve as the perfect place to display artwork or install unique lighting fixtures. Put Your Green Thumb to Good Use

For those who don’t mind getting their hands dirty vertical gardens displayed in reclaimed wood frames can bring a touch of charm to any room. This living wall art works best with succulents, allowing you incorporate splashes of color to your home. Succulents are easy to care for and typically only need to be watered once a week, making this a fairly easy to maintain installation. Vertical gardens can also be installed outdoors, the perfect decoration for the summer months and hosting gatherings. We hope these ideas inspire you to give your home a new look this year.
