Choosing the Perfect Piece of Barnwood Furniture

A piece of reclaimed furniture is a timeless tradition that never looks or feels dated due to the beauty and durability of the wood.

With so many different options you can find a one-of-a-kind piece for every space and know that they will always be pieces you’ll be able to pass down from generation to generation.reclaimed wood furniture sale

What to Consider When Selecting a Piece of Barnwood Furniture

 

1. Furniture Needs

First things first, you need to decide what type of furniture you would like for your home. Take a look at your most used spaces in your home such as the kitchen or the living room. Could you use another seat or another table? Outline each space’s needs and then prioritize them based on your budget. This keeps you focused in your shopping.

2. Type of Wood

Barnwood will typically fall under one of two categories: hardwood or softwood. Here are four types of woods that are commonly used when building furniture.

Hardwood

  • Oak – used for modern furniture with a grayish-white or deep red color
  • Maple – used for all types of furniture with a light brownish color

Softwood

  • Cedar – used primarily for chests and closets with a deep red color
  • Pine – used for all types of furniture with a creamy, yellow-brown color

3. Room Décor

What room are you putting your barnwood furniture in? Is the room modern or rustic – formal or informal? A piece of oak furniture will be great for a modern feel, whereas, a piece of pine might give off a more rustic vibe. Custom barnwood furniture will allow you to better incorporate your current décor themes into your new piece!

A handcrafted piece of reclaimed barnwood furniture is one-of-a-kind, statement piece for any home. You’ll never see a duplicate because there’s something special and unique about the process of working with your hands; you’ll definitely be able to see that difference.

Achieving Form and Function: Barnwood Furniture in a Restaurant Setting

Our reclaimed barnwood products are the perfect way to set any restaurant or bar apart from the competition; covered in character, eco-friendly and functional.

The successful restaurant of today has quite the competition in both food quality and overall ambiance. Chefs focus on the details in their culinary creations, so it only seems natural to follow the same guidelines when it comes to the setting that these creations are to be presented in!

We love it when we hear from restaurant owners looking for barnwood restaurant tables and chairs to add that extra special detail to their dining space that truly represents what they’re about.Wood Table And Chairs

How to Choose Restaurant Furniture

Purchasing new tables and chairs for your restaurant can be a challenging task. As a restaurant owner, there are a few factors you’ll want to consider before you make a final decision.

1. Comfort
Comfort is one of the top priorities so customers feel at home. It’s important to make sure that the tables and chairs are providing maximum comfort to all customers from large families to couples on date night! Investing in quality furniture that doesn’t lead to uncomfortable diners sitting at wobbly tables could be worth the extra dollars.

2. Space
Space is always a frustrating dance for restaurant owners. You want to ensure you have enough space for the customers and for your wait staff to move around, however you also want to utilize your space in an efficient manner. Plan carefully and evaluate your customers’ and wait staff’s needs.

3. Decorative Charm
While comfort and mobility are very important aspects of your restaurant furniture, you also want to make sure the furniture matches the theme of your place. As the owner, you’ll need to stick to the mood that you want to bring to the space, such as formal or casual.

For example, a barnwood table with reclaimed barnwood benches will be great for family style dining while a formal restaurant would look great with traditional wood chairs.Centerpiece

Hand Painted Barnwood Furniture

1. Place an order for our featured design of the month.

Hand-Painted Furniture Ideas

If you are struggling with painted furniture ideas, we have compiled a few of our favorite themes, which we think will complement any piece of barnwood furniture, no matter where you put it!

Holiday.
How would you like a holiday decoration that requires no mess or fuss? An Amish-made barnwood hutch with Santa painted on the top will be a festive addition to your family room during the holiday season. Don’t limit yourself to just Christmas. The same painted furniture idea can be applied to every holiday. For example, hearts for Valentine’s Day or fireworks for the Fourth of July.

Beach.
Do you have a “beach themed” room or live near a beach town? If the answer is yes, we think adding a hand-painted beach scene to a piece of barnwood furniture will help set the nautical mood. How do you feel about sea gulls or seashells? (Take another look at the image above for inspiration!)

Food & Drink.
If you have a barnwood table in your kitchen, try adding a food or drink related design. A fruit illustration is always a very appealing design for any kitchen space. Customizing a piece of furniture based on its main use in your kitchen or dining room is also a fine idea. For instance, a wine-inspired painting on that table or hutch that displays your wine collection could add an extra special touch.

Animal Print.
Bring out your wild side with a zebra- or leopard-painted barnwood chair, bench, or stool. Use it as a decorative piece for your office or any other room, as you see fit.

There are no specific guidelines when it comes to design ideas for hand-painted furniture. Think of where the barnwood furniture will be placed and then go from there. Get creative and don’t be afraid to think outside of the box. They sky is the limit when it comes to what design you choose.

Contact us with your vision and we’ll work with you to create a piece of hand painted barnwood furniture.

We will be taking custom orders, featuring a new design each month! Keep checking back to see if the hand-painted design of the month is right for you and your home.
