The floors are the foundation of your interior design. The finishing touch to a completely decorated room is to finish the walls. Although typically, we think of wallpaper or paint, a wooden wall trim is a beautiful finish to any room. Here are three decorative types of wood wall trim.
Natural wood wall trim
A wood wall trim can add character and sophistication to a room. A wooden wall trim is bold and elegant, so you have to be strategic with where and how you place a wood wall. Although wood wall trim is often associated with high-class and luxury, it can also be delicate and charming. Choose a wood wall trim that celebrates the natural characteristics of the wood species for a more rustic and natural effect.
Smooth wood wall trim
For a clean and smooth wall surface, choose a wood wall trim that is more consistent in color and texture. Every wood species will have different characteristics and color tones, so your options are almost limitless. You can also stain and paint your wood walls for a more solid look across the board. A smooth darkly stained wood wall trim can signify power and “old money,” but you can easily make a wood wall much warmer and inviting. 
Rustic wood wall trim
Use a wood wall trim for a rustic element. Wood wall trims that have been hand-sanded and hand-stained are both interesting and charming. Allowing the natural beauty and characteristics of the wood to stand out will make a room more inviting, as well as, give the room some interesting texture.
Architectural wall trim
Use wood wall trim to add architectural elements to the room. Make the wood wall trim the focal point, instead of blending it in with the rest of the decor. A multicolored and architectural wood wall trim can be a statement piece all by itself.
Sustainability
Whatever style of wood wall trim you choose, the natural wood materials are sustainable, as well as, beautiful. You will need to make sure that the wood isn’t exposed to too much moisture. Wood will react to changes in moisture and temperature, but besides that, they are easy to maintain and will last a long time. Wood walls can also be refinished, just like your hardwood floors.
