If you’re seeking to rejuvenate your home's interior and want to go beyond a new coat of paint, a wood accent wall or ceiling is worth considering. Wood accent walls and ceilings are eye-catching and impactful ways to incorporate character into your home. Here’s a guide to help you achieve results you love.

Where to Put Accent Walls and Ceilings

Focus on rooms with empty spaces or monotony in hues and texture. Large walls behind beds and fireplaces provide opportunities to introduce pops of color and contrast.

Next, think about the mood you want to be associated with the room. Wood introduces a natural element and is often associated with relaxation. This makes it suitable for the bedroom or for bathroom walls surrounding a large soaking tub. If your interior design is mainly white, wood ceilings can add warmth and contrast without interrupting the decor. 

Be sure to consider room themes when selecting an area for your wood accent wall or ceiling. Wood complements farmhouse designs and can help accentuate cozy kitchens and entryways. If you have a contemporary home, wood accent walls and ceilings can create a balance with minimalist designs and smoother textures such as concrete and glass.

How to Choose A Design and Material

Two of the most popular choices for designs are shiplap and v-joint. Shiplap is similar to the paneling used on barn exteriors as it also uses wide and knotty planks. This design is the perfect choice if you're seeking to complement a rustic interior design. Homeowners with contemporary decor may find V-joint a more appropriate choice. V-joint uses thinner planks and lays them closely together to create neat and even surfaces. 

When it comes to selecting the type of wood, yellow pine is a durable and reliable option. Yellow pine is resistant to both moisture and rot, making it sturdy enough to handle the water contact that occurs in bathrooms or the kitchen. It’s also versatile as it can be stained with various colors to match your existing interior design.
