Although it may come as a shocking surprise, you can add character to any workspace, living room, or powder room with hardwood in Myrtle Beach homes by using it on accent walls. Don't think of it as "floors on walls," but rather as embellishing your walls with a show-stopping hardwood masterpiece! Why not think outside the (flooring) box and use leftover oak, maple, or reclaimed wood pieces to splash some sass on your walls?
Introducing Texture to a Room with Extra Flooring Pieces
What takes up more surface area in a room other than your floors? The walls! All that wonderful wall space can be decorated or embellished with those leftover flooring planks from your hardwood Myrtle Beach kitchen renovation. That pile of unopened maple flooring boxes that are taking up precious basement space can now magically disappear, only to materialize as a breathtaking hardwood wall accent in your living room!
Are you worried about turning your sunshine-filled home into a country cottage or hunting lodge with all that wood? Contrary to popular (old-school) belief, adding the perfect amount of wide wood planks to a room introduces an aesthetically pleasing and visually appealing contrast. In essence, a touch of hardwood can take an already modern-looking room and elevate it into a truly unique space.
Things to Consider Before Adding Wall Accent Hardwood in Myrtle Beach
Before you haul up all that extra flooring from the storage area, or run out to purchase several boxes of hardwood, you'll need to consider a few design factors:
1) Do you want to add wood accent to a wall that is in an open room or area? If the wall in question is close to a narrow hall or small entryway, will adding a wood texture wall create a sense of congestion or darken the area?
2) Do you have enough wall space to use 4-inch-plus wide-cut planks, or 0.5-inch narrow-cut planks?
3) Do your wood flooring planks have visual appeal? Are your slats textured with knots, whorls, or spirals? In the end, to create a visually stunning accent wall, you'll need wood pieces that have character.
Use Extra Hardwood for Myrtle Beach Accent Walls
Don't dump that leftover flooring! After home renovations, contractors often throw out excess wood slats. Instead of chucking out your new bedroom's extra pieces, you can create a lovely accent wall design for nearly any room in your house. If you want something truly one-of-a-kind, skip the wallpaper and paint, and add a wall piece that will last as long as your floors!
