Wood feature wall – from tile to wallpaper

Wooden walls are no longer considered old-fashioned and quaint but adorn contemporary living rooms and bedrooms. Today, the wood-look accent wall no longer consists of rustic oak panels, but of modern slats, herringbone tiles, and more. We explain in this article how you can design your wood-look feature wall and which living styles you can realise with wall panels, tiles, and wallpaper!

Wooden-look accent wall - this is how wooden walls work in the 21st century!

Especially in flats and houses of older construction years, we can still find wooden ceilings and walls. The panels and cladding are then often torn out, as the wooden look is still associated with old-fashioned rusticity. More and more, however, wood is now moving back into our four walls. Especially in the form of modern wooden slats, tiles, and grey wooden panels, we are rediscovering wood at home.

If you would also like to revive the wood look, classic wall panels are not the only option for accent walls in wood look. Especially in rented flats, elaborate wood panelling is usually not an option. Inexpensive and uncomplicated alternatives are wood wallpapers and photo wallpapers with wood designs.

Wood panel wall - the natural-modern living trend

Whereas a few decades ago, we used wider wooden planks, in particular, as wall paneling, today people are opting for narrow wooden panels as wall decoration. The narrow wooden slats are reminiscent of acoustic walls in the best music studios and give the interior a very valuable touch. Since this wood-look feature wall also leaves a certain distance between the wooden panels. It creates an interesting interplay of depth effect and plasticity.

The alternative: wallpaper in the wood panel look

If you would like a trendy wood panel wall as an accent wall in wood look, you don't necessarily have to go for real wooden slats. Especially recently, the prices for wood have risen sharply, and furthermore, installing wood panels is not always easy.

The wood panel wallpapers from A.S. Création PintWalls II are an inexpensive and uncomplicated alternative. The modern non-woven wallpapers are easy to apply and can be removed dry. Available in five colours, you can choose between natural and very modern.

The accent wall in wood looks for the natural-modern living style

A wood panel wall in a light wood tone is ideal for the still very popular natural living styles. The relaxing Japandi style, for example, or Scandinavian interiors with a touch of boho chic can be wonderfully styled with a wood-look feature wall. Wicker chairs, woven lampshades, and linen complete the natural-modern look.

Experience nostalgia with a wooden-look accent wall in a vintage look

In contrast to the rather straightforward and reduced acoustic wall look, an accent wall in wood look in vintage look is suitable for romantic interiors in shabby chic or maritime style. Vintage wood-look wallpapers are particularly popular in kitchens. Well-known manufacturers place great emphasis on very authentic designs that can hardly be distinguished from their natural models. With nostalgic wood wallpapers, a little more colour is often added to create a playful look.
