If you are committed to saving the environment, adding reclaimed wood furnishings to your home décor is a great way to start. Reclaimed wood decreases the demand for newly harvested wood, it is kind to the earth and let’s not forget about how great it looks in your home.

But you can completely reverse all the good you are doing with reclaimed wood by using the wrong type of wood finish. In this article we will explore different options for finding eco-friendly finishes for your reclaimed wood. 

As the world becomes more eco-friendly, many businesses are looking to recycle materials rather than waste them. As a result, the reclaimed wood trend is one that is gaining in popularity

Reclaimed wood is often used to create furniture items, but with a bit of ingenuity, it can be used to make just about anything.

The world is becoming more environmentally friendly and hotels are getting on board. They are aiming to conserve water and energy, they are using more eco-friendly products, they are recycling, cutting down on waste and even offering more organic choices on their room service menus.

But there is one hotel opening in 2022 that will be taking it to the next level…and that’s the 1 Hotel London Mayfair.

The holidays are a great time to think about those in need. We might think about giving a blanket to the homeless woman on the corner, inviting someone who is lonely to a holiday dinner or making a sizeable donation to our favorite charity.

We are proud to announce the Urban Wood Goods Holiday Giveaway!
