Upcycled Furniture and Repurposed Furniture

Upcycled furniture defined: A guide to eco-friendly, repurposed furniture

Upcycling is a process of converting discarded materials into something reusable.

Unlike recycling which breaks down materials such as wood, metal and glass into its basic chemical form so that they can be used into make a new product, upcycling doesn’t involve breaking down materials. Instead upcycling furniture is about refashioning hitherto discarded materials into a functioning product.

Additionally, the final upcycled product not only has higher quality than the original but also has a distinctive, idiosyncratic style to it.

Upcycled furniture is typically sourced from South East Asian countries, especially India, which have a rich history of reusing materials that have been decommissioned, scrapped or discarded and repurposing them creatively into fully functional products of outstanding beauty.

Top 3 reasons why people buy upcycled furniture

There are a variety of reasons why people choose furniture made of reclaimed wood. We’ve listed the top 3 below:

1. One-of-a-kind products

Given how repurposed furniture is made using scrapped or waste materials in creative ways to come up with functional items, not a single piece has the same design, coloration and style.

This ensure that each piece of furniture you own is not only eccentric but moreover it is one-off and has no other parallel in the world. 

2. Distinctive styling

Discarded drums making up great outdoor seating furniture, old ladders used as book-cases, ducts and pipes of factories doubling up as great lighting fixtures are all examples of the deep creative and designing skills that go into combining various elements together and transforming them into eclectic pieces of furniture that accentuate the décor of your space and are noticed and treasured by everybody who walks into your home or business establishment.

3. Promoting a sustainable lifestyle

Upcycled furniture products are made using existing materials that would otherwise go waste, helping save freshly harvested trees from being felled for the purpose of furniture making.

It is also beneficial in that the upcycling process is way more energy-efficient than recycling or purchasing furniture made from fresh or new raw materials.

So when you buy repurposed furniture with low or no carbon footprint, you are playing an important role in helping conserve ecology and contributing to developing a sustainable environment for the future generation to come.

How to decorate resort, hotel, holiday homes and private residences with upcycled furniture

Upcycled furniture is quite characterful. It is equally in place in decors ranging from the Boho or shabby chic interiors to modern or contemporary interiors. By adding signature elements of the repurposed style, you can accentuate the interior decor of any hospitality business, executive & luxury residences, office or home:

• • The natural eclecticism of repurposed furniture designs will lend character to the neutral backdrop of a hospitality establishment done up in contemporary decor. Add a repurposed bar cabinet or a upcycled bookcase as an accent piece to warm up the ambience of your hotel or fine-dine restaurant’s decor.
  • Repurposed furniture feels right at home in the colourful Boho and shabby chic interiors of a cafe or hookah bar or lounge. Use lamps made from piping systems of old warehouses and factories or cycle wheels as bases for your dining tables to lend unmatched distinctiveness to your dining or bar areas.
  • Upcycled furniture is equally at place in wellness resorts and spas done up in rustic farmhouse, countryside or French provincial styles. Place repurposed items at accent furniture pieces in entryways and lobbies or as functional end tables or displays at spas where they add to the charm of your guests.
