Wall Paneling Ideas | Wood Naturally

Wow Factor Walls

Walls enhanced with real wood can create texture and dimension, separate one part of a room from another, or simply add warmth and character to any living space.

Different types of interior wood finishes reflect different styles. For example, leaving wood paneling unfinished can create the ambiance of a coastal beach house or a rustic cabin. Using a mix of different woods and finishes on appearance walls can add visual depth to a room.

The contrast of wood finishes to non-wood materials in a room, such as glass and metal, creates a striking and modern look – wood is no longer relegated only to a “cabin” style.
