This is one thing I wish we had in our home...paneling. I don't know why, but it just really speaks to me!! Whether it's new or not, there are so many ways to treat these walls! Of my favorite is the painted version, but done right all wood paneling can look fresh as well...

My favorite...all one color, and this color is just right! A slightly masculine style to this office, but with this color, it becomes more balanced...

I fell in love with this house when I saw this room and it's unique paneling. I say unique because framed out in these panels are grass yoga mats!! Creating a very comfortable dining room, where without could be left a bit too formal.

This is my kind of wood paneling, Nate Berkus you've done it again!! I love the contemporary grid pattern and what looks to be the leather inlay!!

Go for a contrasting look and you'll make the right statement, this room is all about the paneling choice! Designer Garrow Kedigian used a black linen wallpaper here, but I'm sure a paint would do the trick if you're on a budget!


A more simple but affective approach is beadboard paneling, can have a modern feel, if you run it floor to ceiling with minimal moldings. But I love that designer Peter Dunham even thought to panel the door!! What a great place for more art!!
