Reasons to choose upcycled furniture for your home

We’ve all heard of upcycling, but what does it mean? Well quite simply it’s about taking a piece of furniture and restoring it so that it can be repurposed. Rather than sending it to landfill or to be recycled, it can be transformed into something else and have a new lease of life.

Whether you want to try it for yourself or find a supplier who can offer you upcycled furniture for your home, here are just some of the benefits you’ll get when choosing upcycled furniture:

Help the planet– By choosing upcycled furniture, you can decrease the need for using raw materials which results in a reduction of water pollution, energy usage, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

Feel good about your choices– if you’re anything like us and want to be eco-conscious, then you’ll feel guilt-free when you choose an upcycled piece of furniture.

Own something that is unique– if you’re someone who wants to own unique pieces of furniture, then upcycling is for you! You’ll get to be the proud owner of furniture that has a story to tell, and gives you a talking piece for when you have visitors.

Plenty of options– with upcycling being more popular than ever before, there are many suppliers who specialise in upcycled furniture for the whole house whether you’re looking for the bedroom, living room, dining room or garden.

For those that are looking to invest in an upcycled bed, the RUST collection offers great choices. The Chamonix Bed is made from reclaimed wood bed with a lodge-luxe vibe and comes in a range of sizes.

If you’re looking for a new dining table, the A-Game Reclaimed Dining Table from RUST is a fantastic choice. This industrial-style reclaimed wood dining table set is fixed on a raw steel A-frame and is full of character.
