18. Hanging Leather Harness with Reclaimed Wood Dowel

Earthy, rustic-modern styling shines through a thick, veg-tanned leather harness suspended from a single ceiling hook, cradling a thick piece of reclaimed barn wood dowel. It sways gently, introducing organic movement and texture to blank bathroom walls.

How to Make It

  • Cut two matching long leather straps, folding and stitching the top ends into secure hanging loops.
  • Thread a thick, weathered wooden dowel through the bottom loops of the harness.
  • Hang the entire assembly from a heavy-duty ceiling anchor or decorative wall bracket.

Tips and Variations

  • Use solid brass D-rings on the leather straps to adjust the hanging height easily.
  • Pair with coarse linen hand towels to complement the organic, raw aesthetic.
