Wall decoration with wood - 32 wall coverings & accents

In this article we would like to show you the magic of wood again. It transforms every room into a unique feel-good area and is therefore the perfect element for furnishings and decorations. Walls in particular can be wonderfully decorated with this material. We have put together a great gallery of ideas for wall decoration with wood. This resulted in two categories into which our images can be divided. On the one hand, you have the option of covering an entire wall with wood for decoration. Another variant is to add smaller accents made of wood, which then serve as an interesting eye-catcher.

Wall decoration with wood paneling for entire walls

Wall coveringsmade of wood are a popular option for designing walls. If the wood is a dark color, an accent wall is preferable. If the wood is light, several or all of the walls can be covered.

Geometric design

Wall decoration with wood in the form of paneling no longer consists of ordinary wooden boards or panels (not that you can't use them too). Original designs such as 3D panels with abstract shapes or the use of wooden discs, strips, rectangles and squares create unique decorations that look wonderful in any room.

Irregular surface

Perfection is no longer necessarily popular in the interior. This is why such an irregular design is so attractive. The pieces of wood do not have a straight cut surface, but are different in height. An attractive 3D look is created.

Wood in the living room

Don't you sometimes be amazed at the interesting ideas for decorating that use things you would never think of otherwise? This is also the case with this living room. The round table tops of tables were used for wall decoration with wood. You can also make such panels yourself or have them made.

Wood in natural and red

A wide variety of designs and patterns can be created with wood. In this example, two different geometric figures in two colors were used. The result is an original accent wall that is the highlight of the bedroom.

In the bathroom

The dark wooden wall in combination with the white furnishings makes the bathroom a real gem. The modern style is emphasized by the symmetrically arranged wall panels in a rectangular shape. Wall decoration with wood in the form of wall paneling is always a great idea.

Wood with a shard look

This accent wall also makes a breathtaking impression. It once again proves the flexibility of wood. As you can probably guess, the inspiration was a broken mirror. Except that “broken” wall doesn’t bring 7 years of bad luck.

Combine wood

Wood can have a wide variety of color nuances from light to dark, white to dark brown and almost black or even red. There are also different patterns that are unique to each tree. You can use this to create an effective wall decoration with wood. This wall covering consists of wooden panels in different colors, which are separated from each other by frames made of strips.

Hexagonal design

Do you like it geometric and abstract, but at the same time natural? Then you can choose a hexagonal or honeycomb pattern. The idea looks great both in the form of a wall paneling and as individual accents on the wall.

Combine with light

In addition to wall decoration with wood, you can also use light to highlight any wall. An accent wall becomes particularly effective when both things are combined. Here, cracks were left between the wooden panels in which lamps were installed.

3D Wall Panels

3D wall panels are without question a real eye-catcher. But if they are made of wood, you get a warm and modern atmosphere. This contemporary bedroom also has a bit of a retro feel thanks to the accent wall.

Mosaic Design

An equally modern design is the mosaic. In addition to tiles and stones, this can also be designed with small pieces of wood. The wooden wall decoration takes up almost the entire wall in this bedroom and highlights the gray, modern bed.

Original wooden wall

Here we have another example of an irregular surface. This time, for this purpose, many wooden boards of different lengths were stacked on top of each other, with each board protruding to a different extent. In addition, the wall decoration with wood in the form of wall paneling has small windows that serve as picture frames.

Wooden shutters

Do you like original decoration ideas? Then you are guaranteed to like this design. For the wall decoration with wood, different shutters were used and put together like a puzzle. The idea is suitable for modern but also rustic interior styles.

For a narrow wall

Rooms with a very high ceiling can appear very bare. They lack comfort. Fortunately, you have the option of using wood wall decoration to counteract this. A narrow wall design like this in particular looks very elegant and modern. Emphasize this look with an abstract arrangement of the boards.

Create an accent wall

Open living spaces should be visually separated from each other. In this interior, wall decoration with wood is used for this purpose. The dining area is decorated with a dark accent wall and indirect lighting, while the living room has a simple, white wall.

Recycling Idee

Old wood can always be put to good use. These worn boards were attached to the wall so that they overlap each other. They are a way to create the popular beach style. Use any color shades for this.

Decorate partition

A partition wall is already noticeable in itself. But that doesn't have to stop you from using them for wall decoration with wood. In this way, you can also emphasize the pieces of furniture in front of it, provided they are made of a different color.

Wooden slices decoration

Designs and decorations using wooden slices are in high demand. They are one of those ideas that you can implement yourself. Build smaller panels out of the disks for lighter weight. Simply cut the slices from twigs.

Rustic wall decoration in the kitchen

A kitchen can tolerate a lot of wood. And the tiles that are so often chosen as wall and floor coverings in this room can also be wonderfully combined with the attractive wood. This is also a great idea. The white tiles are framed by dark wooden boards, creating a balance between light and dark.

A wall made of wooden slices

Since this idea takes a lot of time, you can ask the whole family for help and start a great family project that everyone will be proud of. Get lots and lots of wood slices and put them together on the wall. Stick them in place with a secure adhesive. Perfection is not required here either.

Wooden cubes for walls and ceilings

Create an attractive design using dark wooden cubes that look particularly good on a light wall. A great idea is also to design the ceiling with the same design.

Dining room wall decoration

Combine the rustic wood in its natural shape and color with modern and elegant furniture and decorative accessories. If you want to use wooden discs for this, as in this example, this time you can consider not using discs that are roughly the same size, but instead combining large and small ones.

Wood accents

If a whole wall paneling, no matter what color, is too overwhelming for you, you still have the great opportunity to add smaller accents with wood. The same elements are suitable for this purpose as for wall cladding, i.e. panels, boards and pieces of wood.

Wooden mural

As is well known, there are no limits to art and this also applies to wall decoration with wood. There are unique wall art designs using this attractive material. You can even copy many of the designs yourself.

Wooden rings with mirror effects

Such wall decoration with wood is done faster and easier than you might think. You will again need wooden discs that you cut from light wood. You can then either paint the middle darkly or hollow it out in order to fix small mirrors in it.

Children's room wall decoration

Create wall decorations with wooden boards in any color in the children's room. A herringbone or zigzag pattern looks sufficiently playful, but also exudes a certain elegance. This decoration idea is simple and pretty at the same time.

Wood mural

Create a wooden mural and use it to decorate any room. It's a great way to add some color to your interior. The wooden boards in this example represent a beach and an ocean and have been designed in an ombre look. You can also design such a wall decoration with wood yourself.

Cube design for the wall

Finally, we have one last touch that you are welcome to try out for yourself. You can of course decide for yourself how many parts this picture should consist of. However, one thing is certain: the mosaic design will immediately catch everyone's eye and will be an attractive highlight on the wall.

Reclaimed wood

Feel free to use old wood too. This creates a charming accent that fits even into modern furnishings. It is sufficient if you only cover part of the wall. This creates the effect of a large mural. Combine with modern furniture like this with a high-gloss sideboard.

Gray wood accent wall

The neutral wood can be combined with any color. The accent wall made of rustic old wood in the dining area was combined with red accents. With the right lighting you can further highlight your wall decoration with wood.
