How many times have you avoided purchasing a beautiful table for fear that it would clash with your design style? Handmade custom furniture may fit in your design scheme better than you realize.

Contemporary Style

Contemporary design style is open to change at any given moment. Open space and purposed furniture are often found within contemporary rooms.

As many environmentalists say, one of the best ways we can protect the earth is by making lifestyle changes. From recycling, using less water, to creating less trash in our day-to-day lives, some of these changes can get some getting used to. If you're looking to reduce your environmental impact, one of the easier changes is purchasing reclaimed wood furniture when the time for new furniture comes around. Furniture from reclaimed and recycled woods offers several benefits for the environment, and the furniture itself is just as beautiful as furniture (if not more) than mass produced furniture.

Storage space: the endless battle. Not only is in-home storage space hard to find, but sometimes it can feel like you have to sacrifice style and design for functionality. But creative (and astonishingly beautiful) ways of optimizing your living areas do exist. One of these ways is the use of reclaimed barn wood furniture.

This method of seeking and recycling wood is not only beneficial to the environment, but a great way to merge a need for storage space with elegance and efficiency. If you've been looking for fresh ideas on how to stylize your organizational space, this could be the answer.

A convenient way to...
