Trust me: you haven’t truly tested your marriage until you decorate your first home together. When we went bungee jumping in Cairns, or when we saw that shark while surfing at the Gold Coast, little did I know that the actual moment that would get my heart racing and my brain questioning all my life choices was when my lovely partner declared he’d prefer a rustic kitchen. My little modernist heart sank…

Home Decor Conundrum

For me, kitchens have to be sleek, chic and clutter-free. Mention rustic farmhouse kitchen and I start imagining dusty woodgrain, copper pans hanging from the ceiling and a musty smell that no amount of baking can overcome.

But he had his heart set on creating a rustic feel to our home. How to solve this battle of the decors? How to resolve our apparent desire to live in different time periods? What could possibly reconcile organic craftsmanship with slick modern style?

Ok, so maybe I’m being a little dramatic, but it really did feel like we were never going to come up with a solution. Everything we liked, the other hated. The only thing we could agree on is that we wanted our home to be as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible. Which put me at a disadvantage: there’s way more rustic furniture available second hand than high-quality modern pieces.

Sustainability Meets Style 

Thankfully, our salvation was at hand. Or should that be salvage-tion? We found our dream solution with a reclaimed hardwood furniture line which truly is where sustainability, aesthetics, and versatility intertwine.

Better Timber Flooring has expanded beyond their already acclaimed hardwood flooring range into making good-quality, eco-friendly furniture from recycled materials

Each piece of the new collection is unique; carrying the marks, textures, and patina of previous years’ usage to create a distinctive, yet classically stylish addition to your home. The grain of the wood is on full display, ticking the rustic box for my partner, but it is clean-cut and modern looking to satisfy my no-fuss style.

And, since it is made from 100% reclaimed wood, the collection is ideal for customers like us who are looking for craftsmanship with a conscience!

Our Dream Table

So which piece did we go for to marry our modern-rustic kitchen desires? We decided on the star of the recently launched collection: the Sorrento Reclaimed Messmate Dining Table

This stunning table features a hardwood table top supported by sleek black steel cross legs. The juxtaposition of the traditional reclaimed timber (his rustic) and the bold black steel support (my modern chic) creates a fusion of style, making it the ideal table for our kitchen.

Thanks, Better Timber Flooring, for doing the impossible and making our new house feel like our home… for both of us.
