Favorite wall panel details

Today I’m rounding up all of my favorite wall paneling details I’ve been seeing lately. You’ll find some that I love to just look at and others that I would love to incorporate into our new house. I didn’t include any wall moulding details because there are just so many different patterns. I tend to prefer wall paneling over wall moulding, but I might create a post later on if I get enough inspiration collected.

skinny beadboard

This skinny beadboard draws a lot of attention! One good thing about this wall detail is once it’s up, you really don’t need much in the space to add interest. I feel like I tend to choose design in the functional elements of a space, and that’s exactly what this picture shows. The beadboard, light, towel, and faucet all add some pizzazz without just collecting dust. That said, this may be a paneling detail that I just love to look at! I think the skinny beadboard is a pretty specific style I could see myself growing out of years down the road but would always admire in other peoples’ homes.

tongue and groove paneling

I think this paneling is a lot more subtle than the skinny beadboard, and I love how it’s fully painted. I just pointed out to Brandon that we have this same white paneling in our kitchen, so it truly is a quiet detail.

shiplap

I had to look up the difference between tongue and groove paneling and shiplap because I wasn’t sure if they were the same. It turns out, tongue and groove and shiplap are mainly different because of how they connect together. Our current house had a lot of wood paneling, and we painted over most of it. It was mainly panel boards (not individual boards connected) which probably made it look less cool than the picture above. I actually love the full commitment to keeping the wood tones on this shiplap. The stain color is beautiful and I would love to find a way to incorporate this into our house.

strip panel/slats

Brandon has been very interested in having at least one hidden door in the new house, and I love the look of these slats! If we had a built in door, it would need to be for a room with little traffic. I’m really crossing my fingers for a home gym connected to the primary suite, but I don’t want it to be too nestled into the house without a way back to the main living area. An inconspicuous way to enter from the main living space or hallway would be perfect!

While researching for my post, I realized that I don’t have any horizontal wood panel pictures! I’ll have to keep my eye out on Pinterest and see if any spark my interest. What are your favorite wall details? I’d love to hear from you!
