Reclaimed wood furniture has become increasingly popular in recent years and it's no surprise considering how unique and characterful each piece of reclaimed furniture can be. But beyond the obvious beauty of reclaimed furniture, there are plenty of other benefits and reasons why you should shop reclaimed.

In this blog post we dive into the world of reclaimed and discuss the 8 top benefits of reclaimed wood furniture.

I want to share a little more information about some very important charities we're supporting to help highlight and spread the word about the great work they are doing helping people across the world affected by horrific humanitarian crises, including most recently and very sadly in Ukraine.

Reclaimed wood furniture is simply furniture created with recycled timber. Reclaimed furniture reuses wood that has had a previous life of its own and ‘reclaims’ that wood to make beautiful items of furniture that are one of a kind. Repurposing timber and giving it a new lease of life by upcycling it into something new has many benefits and makes for a popular type of furniture that has dominated the interior design world for a couple of years now.
