Wooden Wall Decorations

If you like the versatile look of wood, selecting wooden wall decorations for your home is a great idea. Wooden accents can give a room a rustic feel, or an especially sophisticated look, since decor made from wood is extremely versatile.

Size

If you want the wooden wall decor to be the center of attention in a room, select large pieces, such as an oversized wooden plate for the kitchen, or dark wood carved into the shape of a tree for the living room. Choose the largest wall in the room to display the decorative piece.

Types

There are several types of wooden wall accents to choose from, based on your personal style and the function of the decor. For instance, wooden light switch covers are ideal for small rooms since you won't have to take up any additional wall space. Wood carved in the shape of a Buddha face or African mask is best for a room that you're decorating with ethnic or tranquil items.

Considerations

When you find the wooden decor that you want, consider painting the main wall in the room a color that will truly complement the decorations. For instance, a dark orange or red will make dark wood wall decor like picture frames or two-dimensional carving stand out. If you're using items like wooden spoons and forks to hang on the kitchen wall that are made from light-colored wood, a baby blue or yellow wall will make the wooden decor more appealing.
