The Italian and Tuscan design is very popular with designers especially in high class homes. The best way to describe the style of this trend is an Italian villa. Imagine a villa in Italy- what do you think of? Rock paths and walls, Victorian accents, gold décor, and dark rich colored wood.

Bedroom

In your bedrooms you can also use reclaimed wood as wall cladding or as flooring, but you can also use it as material to build furniture such as nightstands, a headboard, or a bed frame. There are thousands of ways you can use reclaimed wood in your bedroom.

Kitchen

When it comes to the kitchen there isn’t much you can do with reclaimed wood other than accents of backsplash, flooring and small décor items here and there. You could use reclaimed wood to make a wine rack or as shelving for all your expensive dishes.

In addition the wood, add accents of rope, fishing net, lighthouses, and seashells to give your design and more beach like feel. If you don’t want to use it as just a décor options, you can use it for any type of furniture just like with the other design trends, but finish with a lighter paint or stain to blend it better.
