Few finishes recall the 1970s as strongly as wood wall paneling. Even if you love natural wood, paneling can feel heavy or dated. With the right colors, furniture, and accessories, however, it can gain a fresh and modern look.
Wood paneling in the bedroom

Painting or decorating wood paneling with modern colors and contemporary art can transform it. Neutral shades, clean lines, and geometric shapes help turn old wood panels into an elegant focal point.

Instead of fighting against wood paneling, make it part of the interior design. White wood siding can support a maritime theme with blue-and-white stripes, shells, candles, and small lights. Darker 1970s-style paneling can be refreshed with bright modern furniture and period-inspired accessories.
