When you live in Colorado, many of our interior design choices are based on helping to merge the indoor with the outdoor. Bringing in natural elements, like wood paneling and wood floors, can envoke the natural earthiness of being outdoors, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression.
Wood paneling
Using wood paneling can increase the cozy factor in your home. Depending on the colors and styles of the wood paneling, the warmth of wood accents can still be made to feel light and modern. You can also choose a style that will compliment a rustic appearance. Whatever the style, there is a common theme to wood paneling, and that’s making everyone in the home feel more comfortable and relaxed.
Emotional Impact of Wood Paneling
Nature is pure and fresh. Being outdoors can relieve stress and anxiety, so bringing in more natural elements in the home can have the same emotional impact. Adding wood paneling to areas of your home can make occupants and guests feel more at ease and relaxed.
Wood paneling style and color
Choosing the color or style of wood paneling will depend on the colors and styles in your home, but also the nature that surrounds the home. Try to choose colors and styles that will work harmoniously with both your interior and exterior for the most natural effect. Choose a color that compliments the colors outside so that you are slowly infusing the outdoors with the indoors. Make the transition from outdoors to indoors as smooth as possible to create peace and harmony with wood paneling.
Add character to the home
Wood paneling won’t just improve the ambiance, but it can add some extra character to the home. Darker wood paneling will make the room feel more cozy and warm. Lighter paneling will make the home feel brighter and more spacious.
