Cosy autumn bonfires. Family summer barbecues. Cold, dark nights cuddled up beside the wood burner…
These are likely the first things that spring to mind when you think of kiln-dried logs.
Whilst these are just three of their primary purposes, kiln-dried logs have far more potential than you might realise, and can be used for several different things around your home and in your garden.
In this blog, our experts at Pheasant & Co. share our favourite creative ways you can use kiln-dried logs this autumn and winter!
1. Tea light holders
Using kiln-dried logs for home décor pieces, like a candle or tealight holder, for example, is an excellent way to elevate the ambience and aesthetic of your home, adding a simple, but stunning natural look to your interior.
Simply hollow out a portion (or several portions) of your kiln-dried log to create a snug space for tea lights or pillar candles to sit and burn bright.
2. Rustic furniture
Be it indoors or out, using kiln-dried logs to craft furniture pieces like bedside tables, coffee tables or even chairs is a great idea for those who prefer a more rustic look and enjoy a hands-on DIY project!
The natural look of timber is guaranteed to bring additional warmth and character to your space, and you’re guaranteed a sturdy piece that will last for years.
3. Plant stands
If you’ve got a bit of a green finger, and are constantly buying new plants to put in the garden or around the house, then this one is for you.
Kiln-dried logs can be transformed into stylish plant stands, providing a place for you to keep all your potted plants.
They supply a stable, visually stunning way to display all your greenery, and are an excellent way to bring the outdoors in, and/or keep outdoor plants organised.
4. Decorative wall shelves
If you’re looking for a simple, but stylish way to introduce additional storage to your home, we’ve got just the thing for you.
With a bit of creativity, you can turn kiln-dried logs into shelving that’s both functional and aesthetically pleasing – it’s a win-win!
5. Garden pathways
A path is a key part of any garden design, making your garden safer and easier to navigate, providing easy access to your home and even boosting your curb appeal.
There are many different materials you can use to create a garden path, but if you’re looking to add a touch of rustic charm to your outdoor area – either out front or in the back – creating a pathway made out of kiln-dried logs is the way to go.
Not only does it look beautiful, but it also helps prevent soil erosion and muddy walkways during the frequent rainy weather, here in the UK.
