When decorating your space, it can be overwhelming to choose from all the decorative options on the market. When in doubt, decorative wall coverings can be a simple way to elevate your home’s aesthetic. Wood wall coverings are especially trendy right now and add a distinctive warmth to any space. They are also more customizable than most materials as they can be stained or painted. At Western Building Products, we supply shiplap, reeded, slat, and swoop wall coverings. They can be easily installed with a convenient tongue and groove connection. This article will explain some common and unique applications for decorative wall coverings and how to add variety to your home.
1. Accent Wall

The most common application of wood wall coverings is creating an accent wall in your home. Accent walls create depth and dimension in a room that might otherwise appear flat. No matter if your home is rustic, modern, traditional, or eclectic— an accent wall has the versatility to work with any space. If you prefer a blank canvas, shiplap can be an excellent option to open up other design possibilites.
2. Media Center

Add visual interest to your media center by incorporating decorative wall coverings. Wall coverings can frame your TV without the need for heavy, bulky furniture. They are also a great way to hide any indiscreet cords or outlets, creating a flush look. The swoop design shown in the picture demonstrate how well a media center can work in conjunction with wall coverings, naturally drawing the eye to the accent wall.
3. Above Fireplace Mantel
