Give an accent wall appealing warmth and depth with wood | South Salem Homes
I know the reputation we Southern Californians have when it comes to cold weather. Our idea of chilly is laughable to most people from the U.S. Midwest and other regions of the world where it gets truly cold in winter. I'm gonna say it anyway, though: It's getting chilly.
Fall is really my favorite time of year, with its turning leaves and temperatures in the 60s. For me the colder temperatures inspire gravitating toward warm woods and textures. They also make me want to eat soup every day, but that's another ideabook. So back to wood.
A wood accent wall is one of those versatile details that looks good just about anywhere, and as the temperatures dip, I find myself loving the look of wood in every color and shape. The impact is strong, and layers of texture and warmth can bring a rustic sophistication to traditional or modern spaces. Possible applications are numerous — no space is off-limits. So grab a blanket and a cup of soup and take a look at these warmth-inducing wood accent walls.

Inset accent wall. I love the transitional vibe of this inset wall against the bright white walls and soft layers of the three-tiered chandelier. A shapely mirror and mirrored sideboard attractively contrast the horizontal pattern of the white oak accent wall.
Bed wall. A bed wall is a great location for a wood accent. I find the natural patina of wood to be very calming and a perfect choice for a bedroom. I especially like the way the texture of this wall gives just enough interest to this minimalist room but does not compete with the spectacular view.
Reclaimed with color. This fun, rustic wood accent wall features reclaimed wood with a touch of color. The punchy red accent table looks right at home in this mix.
Sleek and modern. Wood accent walls can look sleek and modern, not rustic at all. Walnut is a great choice for a modern accent wall, especially applied vertically. Notice the modern neutral palette of solids and textures. No need for art; the wood accent wall is the star.
