6 / 8

Also known as barn wood or reclaimed wood paneling, this option uses rough and/or unfinished wood planks to create a farmhouse-like motif, so blemishes, knots, and rough spots are welcomed. This paneling would work well in an informal room like an art studio or workshop, or separate pool house or bathroom, but would likely clash with formal elements found in the home.

Due to the uneven widths of the individual boards, it’s best to paint the backing black so there won’t be light paint peeking through. Pallet wood paneling can be low cost or free if you know someone looking to get rid of their pallets. You can also transform regular pine boards into reclaimed wood paneling relatively easily with the tools in your garage. Elevate your space with these reclaimed wood wall ideas.

Unlike panels with a uniform, orderly layout, 3D panels offer an irregular pattern, in the width of the boards as well as the thickness. This gives the entire wall an eye-catching style, a great choice for those seeking something different.

We’ve personally found this type of paneling to be a challenge to keep clean, though, and the offset ledges will need to be dusted regularly. These pre-finished 3D Teak Wood Panels come in 12- x 24-inch panels for easy installation.

If you like the retro aesthetic of 1970s-style paneling, today’s vertical wall panels can recreate that vibe in a contemporary home. They’re made of real wood and easier to install because they’re thinner than other paneling. These are pre-finished, but you can prime and paint them to match your décor.
