Recycled wood

The lifespan of paper money is only about 18 months—after that, it’s decommissioned and sent to be burned. As an alternative, London designer Angela Mathis created VALUE, a line of furniture upholstered with shredded dollars, pounds, euros, and other bills. The shredded notes are formed into a new textile and used to upholster the pieces— in this case, stools. The final result has a raw, graphic feel, almost like composite board meets paper mâché.

Upcycling discarded materials into enchanting shelving is a budget-friendly way to infuse your home with rustic charm and sustainable style. Embrace wood finishing techniques to highlight the natural grain, and follow shelving installation tips for a secure, custom-fit display. Salvaged wood shelving adds character while reducing waste – a win-win for your home and the planet.

Here’s a guide to everything you need to know: finding, choosing, cleaning, and breaking down one for use. Once you know the what’s what, you can decide for yourself if they are worth the effort.
