There are many ways to repurpose and design with architectural salvage to add a unique beauty to homes.
 
Antique windows, doors, mantels, finials, corbels, mirrors and cast ironwork, reclaimed wood, marble and columns all make great additions to interiors. Walls, floors, furniture, home accessories, garden ornament and even art pieces can be worked with architectural salvage. The past life story of pieces can also add extra interest to home design.
