I'm kinda stuck on figuring out what to do with my living room walls. They're just painted beige right now, and honestly, it's super boring. Thought about wallpaper, but worried it'll look dated fast. Maybe something textured or even wood panels? I dunno...not sure what's trendy or timeless anymore. Anyone tried something different lately or have suggestions that worked well for them?
"Thought about wallpaper, but worried it'll look dated fast."
Totally get your hesitation with wallpaper—trends come and go pretty quickly. If you're leaning towards texture or wood panels, consider reclaimed wood or sustainably sourced cork panels. They're eco-friendly, add warmth, and have a timeless feel. I did cork panels in my office last year, and honestly, they're holding up great and add a subtle texture without overwhelming the space. Plus, they're pretty forgiving if your walls aren't perfectly smooth...just something to think about.
Wallpaper can definitely be hit or miss, but honestly, cork panels aren't everyone's cup of tea either. If you're unsure, maybe test out a small accent wall first? Easier to change your mind later without too much regret...speaking from experience here, haha.
