Fired Up
Keep your walls simple and use wood paneling just behind your fireplace. It’ll help it stand out, and make it the focal point of your room.
On The Edge
If you don’t want wood paneling to make your house look shabby chic, don’t decorate like it’s a cottage. Choose boho, edgy accents, like dark, leather furniture, patterned pillows, and geometric, modern lighting.
The Great Wide Open
You don’t have to pack your panels together — instead, try only installing a few, and space them out. It’ll help create a more modern vibe.
Back In Black
Is this the sexiest bathroom ever? We think so.
Censor Yourself
Removing wood paneling is no easy task, so it’s best to not overdo it with this material. Use it on the ceiling instead of covering all your walls.
White Out
Painting panels white quickly brightens up a space and gives the boards a cute, cottage vibe. (And we know Joanna Gaines would totally approve).
Think Beyond Farmhouse
Here’s proof that shiplap can do way more than farmhouse decor. The horizontal wood-paneled white walls help balance out the bold pinks, oranges, and blues in this room.
Less Is More
Instead of covering all your walls with wood planks, try just doing a small section. This way, the wood will accent the room, rather than overpower it.
Embrace Your Dark Side
A deep navy paint is strategically placed on paneling the homeowners don’t want to stand out. The white accessories, shelving, and appliances take the emphasis off the ridges, helping them almost disappear.
