Wood Paneling

For a long time I had a severe aversion to wood paneling, this might partly be because growing up in Wisconsin you see a lot of gross wood paneling, and for me I always associated it with musty old basements with overstuffed pleather couches and stained carpeting, not a great look in my opinion. So I was kind've surprised when I noticed I was bookmarking more and more inspiration images that had wood paneling, and I realized when done right, it really can add a lot to a room. I think the trick is the color of the wood has to be in sync with the amount of light the room gets, I especially like how when it's used on a vaulted or high ceiling. Below are some of my favorite wood paneling looks.
