If you are looking for a
contemporary alternative to wallpaper and paint, then why not
consider wood panels instead? There is a misconception that wood
paneling can look dark and dreary, but this is not the case. When
used in moderation, it can really bring out a natural warmth that is
not possible with other materials.
Today, wood paneling is
available in a huge range of styles, colors and textures, ranging
from the traditional woods like oak and mahogany all the way through
to more exotic zebrawood and wenge. You might just be surprised at
the beautiful panels available on the market. I used wood paneling to
create a feature wall in our lounge and I absolutely love it! I opted
for a Safari White wood panel which looks almost like Zebra print! It
has a white background with black grain and really offers a bold look
in the room. I paneled one wall and painted the others in a soft lime
green, the effect of monochromatic black and white with that touch of
color is really striking!
A feature wall is just one
of the uses of wood panels, they are perfect for covering an entire
bathroom or kitchen, plain wood is great for a study or library. You
could also try paneling only the bottom half or two thirds of a room,
or perhaps the base of your kitchen island. There are many
possibilities to choose from. Go on give wood a chance!
