Interior designer Huong Vu offers a fresh perspective on incorporating board and batten walls into your home decor. She suggests, “The green board and batten wall grounds the space with sophistication, while the floral wallpaper above introduces a whimsical touch. This duality crafts a unique aesthetic—both formal and playful.”

Huong also emphasizes the importance of furniture selection in enhancing this aesthetic. She explains, “Furnish the room by taking color cues from the wallpaper – like how the brass bed frame echoes the wallpaper’s yellow blooms, and the scalloped side table mirrors the florals’ curves.” In our example, a simple black desk is paired with a circular mirror, and a brass and white side table is placed next to a bed with off-white bedding. These pieces not only complement the colors in the wallpaper but also contribute to the room’s overall charming character.
