distressed furniture
Intentionally worn pieces
Distressed furniture has been deliberately made to look old, worn, or weathered.
The finish is sanded, scraped, or treated to simulate years of use—exposing wood grain, creating worn edges, or adding artificial patina.
The style suggests rustic charm or vintage character: The distressed dresser looked like it came from a farmhouse.
Not to be confused with furniture that's actually damaged.
