When buying wood flooring, it’s a smart idea to make sure that you buy a little extra before installation day. This helps you have some alternative color options and it also isn’t a bad idea to have some extra wood if a few pieces are damaged. But when the job is done, what happens with that extra wood? There are a lot more options out there than just waiting to replace a few planks. It’s time to turn your investment in hardwood flooring products into some exciting new applications.
Crafting Concepts
Wood planks fit together by nature, so use this to your advantage.
One starter method you can utilize with your extra planks is looking out for a flat surface in any setting where you want the wood look. This can range from wainscoting, covering the cabinet, or covering a kitchen island. One way to use the leftover wood is for the top of a table. Remember, all the pieces fit together. A few cuts and some glue and you have a unique look.
For those with more of a craft background and the ability to handle strict measurements, you can think smaller. For example, using the wood for wall shelving adds a unique design and additional storage. You could even make a customized headboard or wood frames for photos/artwork. In fact, you may be able to make your own custom word art using the wood. Since you’ve already paid for it and won’t need it right away, it’s alright if you want to experiment.
Making A Decision
There’s a lot of possibilities when it comes to utilizing wood. Because it’s easily renewable, it makes the perfect medium to try and implement into household projects, so be sure to stay creative.
