For us, these are not panels, but clapboard.However, the difference in names does not affect the essence, and we do not know how to properly use boards that fit together well. Well, let's get inspired Wooden boards that have undergone multi-stage processing and are called the word "lining" that is well known to the Russian ear have gained incredible popularity among summer residents and owners of country houses. The reason for such popularity is simple and logical - lining is an environmentally friendly, durable and inexpensive material. However, what we do with it completely devalues all its obvious advantages. A continuous covering of walls, floors and ceilings with varnished lining turns any, even the most thoughtful interior, into a semblance of a sauna. So what to do? We have a couple of ideas for you. 1. Dose the application To begin with, let's decide where exactly we will have the lining: everywhere is not the answer. Or rather, the answer is wrong. The best option is to choose one accent wall, cover the ceiling or door with lining. 2.Changing geometry It's high time to move from the boring vertical to new directions. The horizontal is not the most logical solution here, although it is also not bad. How do you like the option of placing at an angle of 45 degrees? 3.We paint White shade, of course, is the most logical option, but if you decide on a less neutral palette, you can transform even the most simple option in the least expensive way. 4.Stain You can tint, reveal the texture and at the same time protect the lining from unexpected arthropod guests using stain. The result - dark textured wood - no one can call lining, these are full-fledged wall panels. 5.Panel Modern materials allow you to transfer images to almost any surface without much effort. How about having your own portrait on a paneled wall? Impressive, right?
