Are you looking for new ways to update your home? How about a unique element to keep rooms from looking plain? If so, consider decorating your walls with wood planks. They help create a natural setting while keeping up with modern trends.

Of course, there are different factors to consider, such as tone and style, as well as how the planks match the rest of your room. Follow this guide to learn more about using wood planks to decorate your walls.

Decide Where to Start

Your success in installing planks for your wood wall will determine where you begin your project. The size of the wall and available space in your room will obviously affect your options.

The most common layout is from left to right, or right to left so the planks stay level. You could also start at the top or bottom of the wall if it’s angled in certain areas.

Use Contrasting Shades

Whatever ideas you have should consider the color of both the wood and the rest of the room. If you want the room to feel vibrant, then the planks should have different colors from the floor.

With reclaimed wood, you can combine different colored planks to add life to the room. Another option, which may take more time, is to paint certain planks to create your preferred style.

Consider Patterns for Wood Planks

What makes DIY wood wall projects fun is the variety of options that you have for decorations. You have more to choose from than the traditional vertical and horizontal wood planks.

Herringbone planks create a unique pattern, allowing each plank to fit perfectly together. Shaping planks like diamonds, waves, and zig-zags can bring attention to the room.

Decorating Multiple Walls

Some of the best ideas don’t stick to just one wall. Whatever room you’re working on may benefit from decorating all of the walls with wood planks.

Keep the style of the wood the same for each wall, whether it’s oak, pine, hardwood, or walnut. However, you can make the project fun by giving each wall a different color.

Consider Old and New Wood

The age of the wood you use may determine how your final project looks. We recommend considering both old and new options for your wood plank wall.

Rustic options, such as distressed wood, can add history to the room and help guests connect to nature. New wood comes in handy if you’re wanting specific colors or wood that’s easy to paint.

Understanding Wall Decoration with Wood Planks

Wood planks add a sense of style and texture to rooms that other materials don’t. All you need is a little imagination to visualize how it’s going to fit with the rest of your room’s decor.

Some homeowners may prefer simple colors, while others may want to use multi-colored planks. Patterns for planks can range from vertical and horizontal to herringbone and zig-zags. We also recommend considering wood of different ages.
