If you are looking for a room update from the plain painted walls, try wood for the whole room or accent wall, or even a floor. Wood has that naturally warm feeling. Vertical boards give the allusion of height, especially in a small room. In the kitchen, try light-colored wood walls with pendant lighting giving the room that farmhouse style.
The popular trend is using old barn wood taken into the home. It has a natural texture with wear and tear giving the room a rustic feel. However, wood complements most design trends.
What about the wood paneling everyone hates? The easiest way to get rid of the panel look is to paint it. It looks more like wood planks than paneling. Use light-colored paint to brighten the room or black which gives a bold impression.
