Celebrate the Look of Wear
Beauty isn’t always new. In fact, it seems that more character can be found in things with a history. Stairs that creak. Heirloom furniture. Chairs that show generations of intimacy. A sense of history and, yes, imperfection, infuse a piece with a soul. And incorporating such pieces into a space creates a unique energy.
But how to add a worn look into your space while avoiding the overdone flea market look? How to infuse a space with a sense of raw while keeping it fresh, modern and chic? Take note from these examples of how to add a bit of the old, a bit of the worn to honor aging and its beauty while keeping your space fresh.

This unusual headboard from reclaimed wood is not only good for the environment, but also for your sense of individuality. The roughness of each piece gets paired with the delicacy of this fine linen sheeting, and the gray choice of material ties it all in beautifully. Very Anthropologie. Very do-able.
It only takes one or two showcase pieces, such as this cabinetry, to add a touch of the worn look to a modern space. More: Inspiring Materials: Reclaimed Wood
