10 Inspiring Ways to Use Reclaimed Wood in Small Spaces
Rustic Charm, Even in Small Spaces
When space is limited, it’s all about making smart design choices that add function and personality. One of the best materials for this is reclaimed wood. It brings warmth, history, and character to your home—without taking up unnecessary room.
At Reclaimed Enterprises in Omaha, NE, we handcraft custom wood pieces from locally salvaged wood. Here are 10 inspiring ways to use reclaimed wood in smaller spaces, featuring our most popular products.
1. Floating Reclaimed Wood Shelves
Floating shelves are one of the easiest ways to add beauty and function to a small space. Made from reclaimed planks or live edge slabs, these shelves offer sturdy storage without cluttering your floor.
✅ Perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, or home offices.
2. Reclaimed Wood Plank Accent Walls
Even in tight spaces, a plank wall can make a big impact. Whether behind a bed, in a hallway, or around a fireplace, reclaimed wood planks bring texture and warmth that instantly elevates the look of a room.
🪵 Bonus: Each plank tells a story, with original nail holes and grain patterns.
3. Custom Fireplace Mantels
A reclaimed wood mantel can become the focal point of a room—without taking up any square footage. Ideal for small living rooms or bedrooms with fireplaces, our custom mantels are crafted from solid reclaimed beams or slabs.
🔥 Available in rustic barnwood or smooth modern finishes.
4. Reclaimed Wood Countertops
Tight kitchen space? Upgrade your counters with durable, handcrafted reclaimed wood. It adds warmth, texture, and timeless appeal—even in compact areas like galley kitchens or wet bars.
💡 Sealed for durability and easy cleaning.
5. Small Reclaimed Wood Tabletops
Whether you need a kitchen table, side table, or coffee table, reclaimed wood is a great choice for small-scale furniture. We build custom tabletops to fit your exact space—round, square, or live edge.
🍽️ Built for everyday use and handcrafted in Omaha.
6. Home Bar Tops with Character
Don’t have space for a full bar? A reclaimed wood bar top can be installed on a small wall, island, or even under a window for a unique entertaining space. Rustic, compact, and unforgettable.
🥂 Add metal brackets or corbels for an industrial flair.
7. Reclaimed Wood Flooring for Small Homes
Reclaimed wood flooring can completely transform the feel of a small home. Its natural variations and warmth make rooms feel more inviting and authentic—whether it's a studio, apartment, or tiny home.
🪵 We mill planks to order for a perfect fit.
8. Sliding Reclaimed Barn Doors
Traditional doors swing out, which takes up space. A reclaimed barn door glides along the wall, making it ideal for small bedrooms, bathrooms, or laundry rooms—while adding rustic style.
🚪 Choose from distressed barnwood, painted finishes, or sealed hardwood.
9. Small Furniture with Big Style
From entryway benches to nightstands and stools, small, reclaimed wood furniture pieces can bring a lot of personality to a compact area. These custom-built items are made to order—so they fit just right.
🪑 Great for apartments, condos, or cozy reading nooks.
10. Compact Kitchen Islands & Workstations
A small, reclaimed wood island or workspace adds both beauty and function to kitchens or home offices. We can design these to match your countertops or bar tops for a cohesive, rustic-modern look.
🧰 Add drawers, shelves, or open space below for added functionality.
