Have you ever stood there and stared at your wall thinking “Wow, this beige really screams I have zero personality?” Don’t worry! You’re not alone!
For years, walls everywhere have been silently crying out for something more – something bold, textured… woodsy even!
Whether you’re aiming for rustic charm or something more modern, nothing says “I know what I’m doing” quite like a strategically placed slab of wood!
The best part? You don’t need to live in a log cabin to pull this off! From sleek and polished to rough and rugged, there’s a wood accent wall style for everyone!
So grab your toolbox (or call someone who has one), because after you see these 20 wood accent wall ideas, your bare walls will never be the same!
1. Arranged Wood Slats
We have all seen the uniform, carefully placed wooden slats in hallways, living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and more!
How about we take some creative liberties and start arranging slats however we like? You’ll end up with an intricate pattern unique only to you!
2. Headboard Wall
If you’re looking to spruce up your bedroom a little bit, a wood accent wall is definitely the way to go about it! It brings warmth and visual interest to the space!
3. Wood TV Accent Wall
TV walls have been very popular lately, so if you’re looking to spruce up your space, a great way to add texture and warmth to your living room is with wood!
Plus, there’s something very interesting about mixing technology and nature!
4. Checkered Wood Accent Wall
If you want to go along the retro road, a checkered pattern will look great in your living room! Wooden slats are an ode to mid-century modern design, so it wouldn’t be out of place at all!
5. Match Your Wood
This stunning living room matches shades of wood from the intricate fireplace/TV situation to the sofa back!
The sofa back doubles as a bookshelf, and while it’s not technically a wall, it draws attention to itself in all the best ways!
6. Hide the TV with Wood
The ambiance of this living room is very calm and relaxing, and technology can mess with that sometimes! Another way you can incorporate a wood accent wall is with a TV privacy screen!
While the sliding doors themselves are made out of rattan, the rest of the contraption is wood!
7. Symmetrical Office
If you want to create symmetry in your space, wood is the perfect material for that!
It can be cut however you want, and while it is adorned with different patterns, it won’t mess with your symmetry!
8. Wide Wooden Panels
If you’re looking to go for a sleeker, more modern look, wide wooden panels are a much better choice than smaller ones!
9. Picture Frame Moldings
If you’re more into traditional design, rather than modern, picture frame moldings are a great and affordable way to make your space more interesting and dynamic!
10. Herringbone Wood Accent Wall
While herringbone is mostly used on floors, if the tiles can climb walls, so can wood! Think outside the box and try new, unconventional things!
11. Bookshelf Accent Wall
Don’t go jumping for built-ins right away, sometimes the only wooden accent you need is a stunning bookshelf!
This will be much easier on your wallet and you can determine if you really want something on that wall or not!
12. Wood Half-Wall
Wood accent walls definitely look gorgeous, but sometimes you just don’t want to commit to the full-size wooden slab in your room!
Go for a wooden half-wall, which will give some interest to the space, while also making it seem open!
13. Beauty Nook
Apart from being able to make your room look larger or smaller, a wood accent wall is great for determining spaces around your room!
This beauty nook feels like it’s in a whole separate room, while it’s really in the bedroom!
14. Wood Kitchen
This is a perfect option for those who have an open-concept floor plan! A wood kitchen is timeless and it will give you a wood accent wall that actually has a purpose!
15. 3D Light-Up Bedroom Wall
A wood accent wall doesn’t always have to be dark and moody! You can install some background ambiance lights and give your bedroom a new life!
The 3D effect gives the room a great personality and character!
16. Light-Up TV Wall
Lights in the bedroom are great for reading, but installing them in your TV wood accent wall will make it easier to watch movies late at night!
17. Paint It Black
A black wood accent wall will instantly make your room more sophisticated and moody if that’s what you’re looking to do!
In the picture, we have some picture frame moldings, but this will look great on shiplap and regular wooden panels and slats!
18. Mix the Wood
In this living room, we have a mixture of wood styles! We have beautiful slats right in the middle of the design, while the panels are artfully arranged to give the room a 3D effect!
19. Timeless Slats
Regular thin slats will always look sophisticated and modern! They look amazing in sleek modern spaces since they give them some warmth!
20. Geometric Shapes
If you want to do something more out of the box, creating geometric shapes with your wood will always be a bullseye! It makes the space more interesting and creates fun patterns!
