I pinned the image below { because it is gorgeous! }

& had a reader ask me a question about it...
Kristin- I love this look too, but would love it if you could maybe do a blog post on tips to keep it from looking too much towards the old nasty paneling from the 70's. Sometimes a room just misses the mark and could use a little guidance!
Great Question!
Wood plank walls are definitely back in style & I can see how this image can come to mind.
Look Familiar?!?
Today's wood walls have texture & depth which were severely lacking in paneling of the past. Plank walls with individual boards vs stock panels of "wood" also help to create a more sophisticated look.
Wood Walls today work best as accent walls.
They can add interest to an otherwise boring area that create instant impact.
They also run the gamut of shades, tones & finishes...

Different installation patterns also create visual interest.

They can still feel modern as well. All depending on the wood that is used.

One of my favorite ways to achieve a multitude of the looks above is by simply installing wood flooring planks on the wall. There are so many options available in today's market from Rustic to Sleek that you can find the look that you want.
