Reclaimed wood paneling is more than just a design choice – it’s a way to bring warmth, history, and charm into your home. Each piece of reclaimed wood that we create at Manomin Resawn Timbers carries a unique story, etched into its grain and texture by time.
The aesthetic character of reclaimed wood, with natural imperfections and rich patinas, creates a distinctive atmosphere that modern materials simply can’t replicate. Reclaimed wood is also incredibly versatile, making it suitable for a wide variety of styles, while boasting exceptional quality and durability, having stood the test of time.
By incorporating reclaimed wood paneling into your space, you can transform ordinary walls, ceilings, or furniture into statement features filled with personality. Whether you’re aiming to create a cozy rustic retreat or add bold contrast to a modern design, reclaimed wood offers endless possibilities.
Reclaimed Wood Paneling Idea #1: Create a Decorative Accent Wall with Reclaimed Ash Wood Vertical Planks
Add a bit of intrigue to your room with a decorative accent wall crafted from reclaimed Ash wood wall paneling. The rich tones and dense grain patterns of antique Ash bring a complex element that works wonderfully in tandem with other natural materials.
In this cozy lower level lounge from Katie Kottke Interiors, our reclaimed Ash wood paneling was deployed to accompany an extra wide, stone-faced fireplace complete with one of our hefty Weathered Antique Timber mantels. The vertical orientation of the planks adds an elegant modern touch, while the unique grain patterns bring out the fine details in the surrounding stone and hardwood floors.
Reclaimed Wood Paneling Idea #2: Cover Your Ceiling in Weathered Antique
If you want to find something beautiful each time you look up, reclaimed wood paneling can make a perfect decorative ceiling cover. Our Weathered Antique paneling is a mix of gorgeously patinaed softwoods that provide a mix of warm and cool tones in a mosaic pattern that can enhance a number of designs.
In this cozy sunroom, Katie Kottke Design Studios again made use of our reclaimed wood paneling, choosing the Weathered Antique style as a versatile ceiling that highlights both modern and rustic elements in the space. The multitude of colors in the wood sparkle in the natural light and reflect tones of gray, white, brown, tan, and even green, matching every feature around them.
Reclaimed Wood Paneling Idea #3: Match Your Floors To Your Walls With Wide Douglas Fir Planks
Reclaimed Douglas Fir paneling has a cozy and inviting air that brings to mind a grand North Woods lodge. The wide planks that we are able to make from antique Fir timbers have a big impact on their surroundings, embracing the space with their large surfaces.
The rich, red coloring of our reclaimed Douglas Fir will warm up your space and add a natural brightness to soak up natural light. The mellow grain of the wood creates a smooth gradient of color on top of which small, dark knots speckle the area and provide distinct focus points throughout.
Matching your reclaimed wood wall paneling with the flooring gives a great opportunity for a cohesive design where you can truly get lost in the beauty of the natural materials in use. The continuity formed also allows for large features such as an oversized hearth to be employed without the worry of it clashing with various colors and textures.
Reclaimed Wood Paneling Idea #4: Create Stark Contrast With Shou Sugi Ban
Shou Sugi Ban reclaimed wood paneling is a fantastic way to bring in new colors and textures with the same, high quality building materials as our other products. The traditional Japanese wood burning technique involves charring the surface of the planks before washing, brushing, and sealing them to make some of the most durable lumber you can find.
Shou Sugi Ban wood is very low maintenance, sporting water and rot resistance as well as flame retardant qualities. With time, the surfaces will even develop a fine patina, adding a dynamic layer to the unique aesthetic qualities of this style.
The charcoal black colors achieved by the wood burning process allow for a number of fun design choices that aren’t usually available in natural materials without a thick coat of paint. The dark effect of Shou Sugi Ban reclaimed wood wall paneling can fit perfectly into more modern designs and create wonderful contrast with contemporary whites and grays.
Reclaimed Wood Paneling Idea #5: Craft A Unique Bar With Timber Tile
Our timber tile reclaimed wood paneling can add a one of a kind flair to your home as a beautiful feature piece or accent wall. A deep bounty of natural details, this paneling is sure to draw attention and make something like your home bar stand out.
One of the most dynamic applications of this precious building material, timber tile creates a wonderful mosaic of colors, textures, and shapes that can be adapted to fit any project. With tiles available in many different cuts, you can create patterns from checkered squares to herringbone to a three-dimensional mosaic like the bar featured here.
The uneven planks in this bar design add unrivaled texture that is further accentuated by the various colors of the different woods used. Overall, this reclaimed wood paneling achieves a distinct, mid-century modern feel that allows the old material to blend into the style of the house seamlessly.
Reclaimed Wood Paneling Idea #6: Weather The Elements With Weathered Gray Exteriors
Our reclaimed wood paneling isn’t just for interiors; it can have a huge impact on your outside design as well. With wood panel siding a common choice for modern and rustic designs alike, using reclaimed wood can bring a host of benefits to your exteriors.
Our reclaimed wood, salvaged from 19th century industrial buildings comes from old growth timbers that grew much more dense and strong than today’s trees. The resulting wood is much more sturdy and weather resistant, with less space for water to penetrate and cause damage or rot.
Applying our weathered gray reclaimed wood paneling to your exteriors create a finish for your home that is not only durable, but pleasing to look at. These antique planks have already seen years of exposure to the elements, building up a wonderful patina of cool grays that perfectly accent the natural grain of the wood and create the feeling that they have already been in place for decades.
