Wood paneling and wall treatments can be used in a variety of ways. It’s not just for a sauna or log cabin. There are plenty of great uses for wood paneling on the walls in a modern home. You just need to be a little creative.
The effects of wood paneling
Don’t be afraid to play around with the use of wood paneling. Wood paneling can be used as a backdrop, on an entire wall, on the ceiling, or to make a statement. You can enhance your interior design, or create something unique for your home.
Add texture with wood paneling
Wood paneling is a great way to add some texture to a room. Think about only using wood paneling for one wall or a section of a wall. Wood paneling is a great way to break up the room, adding some dimension and excitement. It can also highlight other color choices in the room.
Painting wood paneling
If you are only looking for the wood paneling to create texture, you can always paint the wood any color you want. Paint it the same color as your other walls, or make it a contrasting color to the wood trim and crown molding. You can also play with the direction of the planks. Sometimes running the planks horizontally will create an interesting effect, and make it a bigger statement than running the planks perpendicular to the floors.
Accessorize with wood paneling
Wood paneling can also help you accessorize the room, like a piece of art or a cool piece of furniture. If you are adding some shelving, think about using wood paneling as a backdrop. You can either match the color of the shelving, or you can make it a nice contrast to the shelving for dramatic effect.
Make wood paneling a focal point
Make a dramatic statement with wood paneling. Use it strategically in one place, or mix two, to create something unique and artistic. Choose a type of wood with some interesting colors and grain texture. Instead of hanging art, use the wood paneling as the art on the walls. Create an interesting focal point of the room.
