Love Me Some Paneling

March 30, 2012

As a professed lover of white and neutral decor, it’s a challenge to figure out how to add sufficient flavor to a space. I shy away from very bold artwork or paint color, for instance, but I don’t want a space that looks bland and boring either. Paneling has the ability to keep the integrity of a color palette by both blending in, and making a statement, simultaneously. Paneling makes an otherwise drab, unadorned wall instantly have dimension, elegance, and drama. The symmetry of the pattern, the clean lines, I love it all.

What’s your take?

    I used to hate anything white on the walls because it looked boring, but now everything looks so much more brighter and cleaner!

    I have been contemplating adding some paneling detail to our home. It used to see so dated (you know, when I was young and didn’t know any better), but it adds such a sophistication and, of course, architectural interest to just about any room. Gorgeous roundup.

    And thanks for the kind words on the blog! Glad you found me! ox

      So glad you like these images! If you’re considering, I would say definitely go ahead and add away! It really does add a sense of sophistication. Thanks for the comment!
