You might be tempted to use only paint or wallpaper when decorating the walls in your home, but have you considered a wood accent wall? This simple yet stunning feature will create interest in your space and an aesthetic contrast. You don’t need to be an interior designer to elevate your rooms with this wall technique either.
Often associated with a rustic interior theme, natural wood provides depth and texture to enhance a farmhouse feel. However, this natural wood vibe is versatile and creates interest when contrasted with other interior styles such as modern and boho. If plain natural wood isn’t the style you’re after, experiment with the finish and paint color of your wood choices or customize with mirrors and wall art.
We have compiled a selection of wood accent wall ideas to help you find the inspiration you need to create this gorgeous look in your own home.
