Wood, we no longer necessarily need to present its qualities. Everyone knows that it is a sturdy and warm material. It is also synonymous with naturalness. Usually, wood is in the form of parquet, banisters of stairs (or even stairs), furniture. And it adapts to fashions and trends. Wood now also finds its place on the walls. It is an unexpected wall covering, not so common. And what is very interesting is that it covers the faults of your wall without worries. No need to make the plaster, your covering will hide the defects. So, what are the different solutions for dressing your wooden walls?
Wood is synonymous with naturalness. If it is cut without a tail, or ahead, if it comes from the other side of the planet, etc. It is suddenly much less clean. Besides, you can also look for coatings that are PEFC and FSC certified. These are 2 labels that certify that the wood comes from sustainably managed forests. Please note, these labels are international, they do not guarantee that the wood comes from a local forest. For that, you have to look at the provenance. These two labels mean different things: that the forest will not be over-exploited, that there will be a process for it to regenerate, that the trees are not genetically modified…
WALL IN WOODEN BATTENS – A SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE COVERING
The simplicity of a wooden batten wall really appeals to me. No need to overdo it for it to be pretty and pleasant to live with every day. I like this minimal and simple spirit. The cleats are placed vertically which gives a slender character to the room. The ceiling looks higher than it is.

The cladding is made of cleats perhaps on an entire section of the wall, but not only. It can also cover part of the wall to highlight the headboard in the bedroom for example. You can also create an unchecked ceiling to integrate an LED garland that will illuminate the top of the cleats and give relief to your wall.
WOOD PANELING, A GREAT CLASSIC
Different from the paneling often installed in the 70s / 80s which was in thin strips, varnished in a dark color. The paneling has evolved and adapted to trends. We will now find slats of different widths, in different species, in different colors. And it can be painted very easily, especially if it is not varnished at the start.
The paneling will create a rustic, mountain cabin effect. However, when paired with modern furniture, wood paneling loses this characteristic a bit. It nevertheless retains its warm side.
GRAPHIC WOODEN INTERIOR CLADDING
There is also the interior siding which will allow you to cover a wall with wood. It is much more graphic with its geometric cuts. The “simplest” is the herringbone pattern. He moves from the floor to the walls. There are also other more complex assemblies where the wood planks are not all laid in the same direction. It is definitely a contemporary and modern wall covering with in addition an idea of elegance and refinement.
