Contemporary Rugs - How to Choose a Rug For Your Home

Choosing a contemporary rug for your home can sometimes appear a little daunting given the huge variety of products available on the market today, however with a little forethought to your purchase you can narrow things down a little by having clear idea of what you want.

Organic Wool Duvet

Things to consider before making your purchase are all fairly straight forward but will make life easier if you consider them first. For starters what size rug do you require? What colour rug do you require? Do you want your rug to be a feature or make a bold statement or do you require a more neutral or muted rug? What practical restraints are there? If you have children and dogs then maybe a pure white dry clean only rug is not the way forward. How durable do you require it be? Do you want to go with manmade synthetic fibres or do you want to invest in a rug with a little more quality made from natural fibres? Are you interested in a traditional or contemporary rug or a hybrid mix of both? Considering all these aspects before you commence shopping will give you a clearer idea of what to look for, and make it easier to narrow down your searches.

Organic Wool Duvet

If your are particularly fashion conscious then you may want to look into things in more detail then maybe peruse through some textiles magazines there's plenty out there but Selvedge magazine appears to be the most popular, and its a fantastic resource for getting good ideas.

Rug manufacturers have for some time been combining traditional and contemporary designs so you no longer have to trade off one for the other. It is now very possible and desirable to obtain a rug that is contemporary in design but made using traditional methods with that added benefit of being both ethical and sustainable.

Remember that a well placed rug can really bring a touch of style and art to your home, it's these finishing touches that can change a space from a boring room lacking in character and definition into a truly unique and beautiful contemporary living space. Use your rug to bring the tone to the room that your require, if your room is bright and cluttered then use a neutral colour to tone it down, if your going for a modern contemporary look then you can use your rug as a feature possibly theme it with a feature wall or similarly coloured vase or planter. Most of all have fun with it and create a positive space, after all you live here.

As always the internet is a good place to start, use a search engine to browse around, compare prices, styles and get a feel for what's available. Try to narrow down your searches by including details about the kind of rug you are looking for, if you just search "rugs" then you are going to get about 48,300,000 results to trawl through so if you know that you specifically want a pink 100% wool rug the search for that. When you spot something that you like, don't forget to bookmark the page so that you can find it again easily later.

Don't rush your choice have a good look around compare shipping prices (a lot of websites offer free shipping now) if you see a rug you like and require more information or want to see more pictures email the seller and ask, try and choose a rug that is appropriate for the space you are putting it in as opposed to just buying the first thing you like and then realizing it clashes with your furniture.

Creating an Eco-Friendly Room in Your Home

We live in an age of global warming and worry about green house gases. Now, more than ever, people are going 'green' and attempting to improve our environment. Home décor is also going green, and if you are one of the many that wish to take a conservational attitude one step further, you may wish to create an eco-friendly space in your home.

Organic Wool Duvet

Many people do not realize that there are now lines of eco-friendly paint. Zero VOC (volatile organic compounds) paint does not include the solvents that other paints have. The VOC solvents in paint are what have been proven as a cause in the diminution of our ozone layer. Not only environmentally toxic, VOC paints have a harsh odor that fills up your home as you use them. Zero VOC paint comes in a limited amount of colors that emphasize earth friendly tones. Choose a muted 'earth' color if you favor taupe or 'air' colors if blues are a favorite.

Organic Wool Duvet

Bringing your floor up to eco-friendly speed is easy with a sea grass area rug. This super durable rug is all natural and not created with some of the same harsh chemicals of other flooring. Tan in color, sea grass area rugs can have a cotton border in a contrasting taupe color and are usually backed with latex foam to avoid movement on the floor. Although they aren't your softest area rug, they are resistant to stains and easy to clean. Sea grass rugs are also great for those with allergies, as they woven tightly and don't retain dander.

Lately it's hard to turn on a TV and not hear about 'environmentally-friendly' fabrics. Materials such as hemp, wool, organic cotton, and certain types of silk are all the rage and easy to incorporate into your room. A quick way to utilize organic cotton is to purchase enough to make slipcovers for your throw pillows. If the cotton is not quite the right color? Try tea staining. Boil tea bags or leaves and place the cotton in the pot. Remove after 10 minutes and you will have a lovely shade that was obtained naturally without chemicals. Contrast your throw pillows with silk drapes and you will have a stunning effect in your space.

Purchasing accessories for the room is generally where you break the bank, right? Not true. Saving a metal bucket from the garbage dump and turning it into a vase is as simple as cleaning it up and adding some eye-catching raffia or jute as a decorative ribbon. Previously loved books can be stacked artfully or used as bookends. Take someone's previously loved cast offs and transform them into treasure. Not only will you save them from a landfill, but also will be giving your home some simple pieces that can be stunning.

One of the most important keys to an eco-friendly room? Fill your space with plants. Live plants provide oxygen to your environment, and can filter the area of toxins. Plants can make a room seem cozy, and they are pleasing to look at. Investing in live plants can be an inexpensive way to complete your room.

Whether you are just beginning to become environmentally aware or are a long time promoter of recycling, creating a room in your home that promotes this life style is as simple as focusing on natural materials. You will enjoy your room for years to come, and feel happy knowing that you didn't contribute to further waste in a landfill.

Choosing the Best White Bath Rug - Everything You Need to Know

Currently, there are already many different bath rugs available in the market. The selection ranges from different colors, styles, patterns, and materials. This is why it can actually be difficult to choose the best bath runner for your bathroom.

Organic Wool Duvet

Color is an important factor that most people heavily consider when choosing the best bath rugs for their bathroom. Commonly, neutral colors like black and white are a great choice as these colors can easily complement other décor in a room.

Organic Wool Duvet

A white bath rug can be a pure and simple selection that you can choose for your lavatory. This can be a bold selection as most of the time, people think that white bath rugs easily get discolored and are hard to maintain.

The discoloration and the damage of a white bath rug in truth depend on different factors. Knowing how to choose the best white mat for your bathroom will help you evade these unwanted factors and let your white rug look as good as new throughout time.

In choosing quality mats, you need to consider the type of material used in the creation of the rug. Pure cotton or a combination of cotton and wool or any other natural and sustainable material is a good choice as these types of materials are easy to clean and maintain.

Avoid rugs made from artificial supplies since one does not know what type of chemicals is used to create the materials for the rug. These chemicals may inadvertently trigger or worsen allergies.

Choose a mat that absorbs moisture well and is mildew resistant. Also make sure that it provides a warm and comfortable feeling that contrasts well from the cold bathroom floor.

Make sure the lavatory mat you will be choosing is not slick and it attaches to the bathroom floor securely. A rug in which bunches up under your feet is an accident in waiting. You can choose rugs that have gripping at the bottom to ensure that you do not slip but some rugs that do not have gripping, usually reversible ones, are still stable enough and are safe to use.

Choosing the best white bath rug for your bathroom can take a sizable amount of time and effort considering the availability of different types and designs in the market. Moreover, following this guide can help save frustration in picking out the best bathroom rug for your very own bathroom.

Basic Design For Children's Rooms

Designing your own room is one thing, but designing your child's room is a whole new task. Children's tastes can be very unpredictable, and your job is to find a theme that can suit their changing moods. Often, the task proves costly and time-consuming.

Organic Wool Duvet

So how do you decorate your child's room? First of all, don't think of it as a daunting task-consider it a chance to show your playful side. With a few good ideas, you can turn your child's room into a personal haven while barely breaking a sweat. Read on to find out how.

Organic Wool Duvet

Let them decide. Allow your child, with a little guidance, to decide on room colors, curtain designs, and other accessories. If you can't agree on a wall color, here's what you can do: use their chosen color on two opposite walls, and paint the rest in a neutral or contrasting shade. You can also use beige area rugs or other accessories muted shades. This lets you both have your way without sacrificing room aesthetics.

Give it a function/s. For children, bedrooms are more than a place to sleep. Some use it as a playroom, others as a study area, others as a place to entertain their friends. The best setup for a growing child is a multi-functional room that accommodates all their interests. Use area rugs to define areas in the room. Kids area rugs now come in various designs, so let them take their pick.

Splurge on storage. Kids tend to have a lot of stuff, so storage is essential to their room design. But plain old storage will not do; you need accessible storage that your child can organize on his own. Avoid shelves and cabinets more than one foot taller than your child-chances are they won't be using the top levels much. For toys, large floor baskets are usually a better choice. Place some braided area rugs under them to add color and make storing toys seem less like a task.

Choose furniture wisely. The main pieces of furniture for a child's room are a bed, desk, side table, and a closet or dresser. Chances are they'll need more furniture as they grow up, so don't fill the room just yet. Focus on getting safe and durable pieces that will last hours and hours of play. Instead of upholstery, consider using slipcovers for the seating. This makes cleaning up spills a lot simpler, and lets you change the colors according to your child's tastes.

Put safety first. Safety should always be on top of your list when it comes to decorating your child's bedroom. Carpeting is the best protection against falls and bumps, especially for toddlers. As they get more coordinated, you can move on to smaller area rugs that suit their own tastes. Make sure all the furniture is firmly installed, and keep all electrical outlets out of reach. If your child is prone to allergies, avoid synthetic fabrics-wool area rugs and organic cotton drapes are usually the safest bets.

Luxury Loungewear - Feel Relaxed, Happy, Stylish Yet Comfortable

Luxury Loungewear is something you can never have enough of. It's great to get home after a hard days work or a trip to the gym and change into clothing that makes you feel relaxed, happy, stylish yet comfortable. There are lots of styles and collections out there but it is best to work with brands that offer styles that can be mixed and matched depending on one's mood, or activity. The key to luxury loungewear is to remember that it is all about you, it needs to be soft, feminine and luxury for the ultimate lounging experience.

Organic Wool Duvet

Since the growth in the loungewear sector over the past 5 years, loungewear is no longer something that needs to stay behind closed doors. Find the right style and it's perfect for yoga, long haul travel, or just relaxing weekends in the country.

Organic Wool Duvet

One key item of loungewear that are worth the investment are pyjamas. These again can be cast as being unfashionable and definitely not glamorous when they are made from man-made fabrics with garish colours and pink trims. Instead look for ranges in fabrics such as basic cottons or luxury modal jerseys, choose soft neutral colours and relaxed styles.

As life becomes more frenetic, relaxation time should be treasured and is worth putting in as much effort as you would a night out. Loungewear is perfect for when you are relaxing at home but still want to look effortless elegant. Whether it is for watching a black and white movie on a Sunday afternoon or for a duvet day lazing around the house you still want to wear something that makes you feel good but yet is still comfortable. Key pieces to search for are sophisticated dressing gowns in silk or cashmere, relaxed wide leg trousers, loose easy tops for stylish layering and statement cashmere pieces.

With the growth in the loungewear set to continue, many high street brands are starting to offer loungewear ranges, but it is worth seeking out brands that offer a dedicated range of mix and match styles, with tips on how to make the styles work for every occasion, with a variety of fabrics and colours best suited for stylish relaxed living.

One brand leading the growth in the UK market is meandem.com. They have an amazing range of loungewear items that will fit any occasion and a growing celebrity following.

Decorating Tips For People With Allergies

When you or the people you are living with suffer from allergies, it is nice to know that you can ease their discomfort a little with a few tips on what to avoid when you are cleaning or decorating. So here are a few suggestions:

Organic Wool Duvet

o Keep animals out of the house. If it is too late, and you already have a beloved pet, have an air purifier going all the time. It will help with the dust, lint, pet dander, and other particles flying around, including eliminating some of those nasty molds.

Organic Wool Duvet

o Vacuum frequently and thoroughly, including furniture and draperies. It is helpful if you have bought furniture that is leather upholstered, and easy to wipe down. But any easily vacuumed fabric in natural fabrics (with the exception of wool), will make it easier for you.

o Shutters, metal and vinyl blinds, and shades, are easier to dust and maintain than heavy curtains and drapes. But if you already have invested in those heavy window treatments, have them dry cleaned every two or three months.

o Use comforters and duvets with duvet covers, instead of heavy bedspreads in your bedrooms. The comforters should be washable, and if they aren't, use duvet covers on them as well. You can change them weekly with you other bed linens, to eliminate dust mites and animal dander, and have the added benefit of being able to vary your bedroom theme.

o Have your air ducts cleaned a couple times each year.

o Forget carpeting. Wood, ceramic tile, and vinyl flooring are not going to collect dust the way fabrics do. Bamboo area rugs, or those made of jute, are durable, attractive, and easy to maintain. Any fabric rugs should be of a small enough size to wash easily and frequently.

Do You Need Sateen Sheets?

Sateen is a sign of luxury and elegance. It is a nature of a person that he or she always wants to give his or her home a feeling of comfort yet making it luxurious and spacious. When we use golden lights instead of white lights in our homes; the main idea is to give the house an impression of richness and luxury. This is due to the reason that human beings love the idea of being comfortable and luxurious at the same time.

Organic Wool Duvet

Why everyone wants to stay in five star hotels, why not in some normal hotel with all the same facilities? The answer is the environment and atmosphere created by them attracts you the most. It is created by using luxurious furniture and the comfortable yet spacious bedding done mostly with silk and sateen. This always leaves an impression on the clients and makes it look more comfortable and desirable than anything else.

Organic Wool Duvet

But when we talk about its price and budget, people say that they will love to live a luxurious life but high cost is the main barrier between them. In our case the answer becomes simpler by just removing the barrier. The sateen sheets are one of the luxuries but are of very nominal and affordable prices and are the sole reason of becoming so popular among every class.

Sateen is just a special type of cotton which is altered and treated a little bit giving it a comfortable look. It can be used with a number of bedding accessories and suits with everything. A person can even use a wool duvet with organic sateen case. This is great if a person wants to remain warm and make use of pure wool with a luxurious touch. It is the most preferred combination. While duvet keeps a person warm and natural while one of the same elements is also present in the organic sateen case. It is natural itself as it is organic it explains itself that it is a healthy sign and can be luxurious as well as chemical free plus natural at the same time.

Sateen bedding gives your bedroom one of the most luxurious and special feelings. It even creates a romantic environment seducing you, this is the reason it is preferred in the bedrooms of the newly married couples. It is simply treatment of cotton nothing more, while cotton is a rougher and standardized look, sateen is a more silky and smoother version of cotton - you add a glimpse of style to your bedding. Surprisingly the price of original cotton is much higher than sateen or silk. But still the sateen is the element that can add the original beauty to your bedroom and the bedding.

The Beauty of Sisal Rugs

Rugs are a great accessory to have in any home; they add an extra subtle touch of style and color, and even evoke a warm and inviting mood for any room. Additionally, there's a large selection outside your usual wool rugs. Rugs made from natural fibers are starting to become quite popular with homeowners mainly for their versatility, beauty and eco-friendliness. Not to mention you can use them both indoors and outdoors.

Organic Wool Duvet

But there's one kind of natural fiber that stands out from the rest in the rug world and it's called sisal. Made from a plant called Agave Sisalana, rugs are just one of the few things that come from this wonderful plant. Because of the coarse fibers that lend its strength and inflexibility, its cordage is valued making it ideal for manufacturing twine or rope. Even everyday items like paper, mattresses, rugs and cat scratching posts utilize sisal.

Organic Wool Duvet

Along with its eco-friendliness, sisal rugs can generally be used inside and outside your home, as long as you take proper care of it. Like any rug, you have to make sure that it doesn't soak any water or an abundance of moisture; mold and mildew can form if there's way too much moisture in an area. The great thing about sisal rugs is that it requires little cleaning maintenance - vacuuming is all that's needed. Regular cleaning will ensure the quality of the sisal fibers. As mentioned earlier, sisal won't fare too well if placed in an area that has high humidity or moisture, which will cause the fibers to expand. If you do live in an area that has high humidity, its probably best to keep your sisal rug indoors.

Beautiful for both indoor and outdoor use, sisal rugs definitely bring a natural appearance to your setting. Ideal as an area rug for your living room, dining room, patio, sunroom or even your cabana, sisal rugs can be enjoyed by anyone, including pets. And with its tough, durable fibers and natural beauty, you can rest assured knowing that investing in a sisal rug is like investing in furniture - it's for the long run.

Choosing a Rug to Enhance Your Living Room

Adding an area rug to your living room can tie the room together and bring it to life. You can use an area rug to define seating areas or to add a little color to an all too neutral space. As you are looking for a rug for your living room, consider the size, shape and style that will look the best in your space.

Organic Wool Duvet

Picking the Size
Usually if you are adding an area rug to your living room it goes under the coffee table. If there is no coffee table, then it goes in front of the couch. If you are placing an area rug in this spot, make sure that it is large enough to include all four legs of the coffee table and make sure that it encompasses the couch. You want to keep some level of symmetry with your carpet placement, and it can go in front of the couch, under the entire couch, or maybe even under the front half of the couch. Then you can place additional seating around the carpet and coffee table. Standard area rugs come in 4' X 6' and 6' X 9'.

Organic Wool Duvet

If you have a really big living room, you can use more than one area rug to define conversational groupings in the room. You may have one grouping of chairs around the fireplace, so that is where one of you area rugs would go. Then you may have another conversational grouping with your couch and coffee table more towards the center of the room, and that is where another area rug would go. Make sure that the carpets relate to each other either in color or design to help the room feel cohesive.

Setting the Style
If you are decorating a room from scratch, then you can choose any carpet that you wish, but if you are adding an area rug into an existing room, you want to consider colors and patterns that are already in place. If you already have a lot of color going on in the room, you may want your carpet to be understated. You can either blend it with the floor, or choose an existing bold color in the room and use that in your carpet. If the room is rather drab, you may want to use this as an opportunity to add an interesting focal point to the space.

If you are adding the rug to a modern space look for geometric designs, for country consider a braided rug, animal prints work for more eclectic rooms try and for a formal room is always wonderfully accented with a Persian carpet.

Material
Rugs can be made of either natural or synthetic fibers. The most common natural fibers used are wool, cotton, jute and sisal, and the most common synthetic fibers are polypropylene and nylon.

Frequently where you are placing the rug determines the best materials for it. For example, if the area gets a lot of foot traffic, you may want to use a polypropylene rug because it is durable and stain resistant. However, in a sitting area, you may prefer wool or cotton for its lush softness.

How to Create a "Green Nursery" for Your New Baby

A child's arrival can be one of life's most joyous occasions, and if you're expecting a baby, you may be focused on planning the baby shower or decorating the nursery. While finding interesting color schemes and baby furniture can be exciting, you may be unaware that many of the products commonly found in nurseries such as paint, furniture, and carpeting can emit harmful pollutants such as particulates and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into your baby's air.

Paying close attention to your child's indoor air quality is extremely important, as prolonged exposure to airborne pollutants can result in adverse health effects such as asthma, allergies, hay fever, and breathing difficulties. In fact, studies conducted by the EPA have shown that asthma afflicts approximately 6.3 million children, with the biggest growth in asthma cases occurring in children under five. Asthma also tends to be interrelated to allergies, with a large number of asthmatic children also suffering from severe allergies. Therefore, with this in mind, creating a natural baby nursery should take precedence over many other baby-planning activities, as clean air and a baby's immune system are inextricably linked.

As mentioned, VOCs often plague baby nurseries, and they can be found in products such as gasoline, nail polish, and paint thinners. In addition to being hazardous to your baby's health, VOCs harms the environment by contributing to ground-level ozone. Look to these tips to make your nursery as safe as possible.

Paint

VOCs are found in many paints and are released in the air as the paint dries. Before painting your nursery, be sure to look for paints that are low in both VOCs and odor. After the nursery is painted, keep the room well-ventilated by keeping windows open and fans on until there is no remaining odor. Children and pregnant women should also avoid going inside newly painted rooms for at least 72 hours, and if you must paint after the baby comes home, keep the child in another bedroom for a few weeks or until there is no odor.

Floors

Because infants and young children spend the majority of their time on the floor, look for safe floor coverings such as cotton hand-loomed rugs, natural carpet, or even carpet tiles. Also look for area rugs made of natural fibers such as sea grass, sisal, coir, hemp, or jute, as these are stylish, extremely durable, often cost less than wool. If you choose to use conventional carpet or rug, air it out in a ventilated area for a week before installation, or ask the carpet retailer to have it aired out and unrolled a week prior to installation and/or delivery.

Furniture

Beware of cribs, changing tables, dressers, and shelves made of laminated wood, pressed wood, fiberboard, or particle board, as these can eliminate formaldehyde due to the glue in the products. Instead, opt for solid wood cribs and furniture and use natural or chemical-free bedding.

To further protect your baby from pollutants, consider purchasing a high quality air purifier with HEPA and Activated Carbon. Not only do these air purifiers offer a high level of protection from a variety of airborne contaminants, they also create a gentle hush that resembles the familiar sound your baby has enjoyed for nine months in the womb.

What to Do If You're Allergic to Your Bed

Do you or your children regularly wake up with itchy, watering eyes and a runny or blocked nose? Do you sneeze when you shake out your pillows and bedclothes? If so, you could be suffering from an allergic reaction to your bedding.

Organic Wool Duvet

A number of factors can trigger allergic reactions, such as pets, or smoking in the bedroom. But one of the most common and yet invisible causes of bedding allergies is house dust mites.

Organic Wool Duvet

House dust mites and allergies

House dust mites are microscopic organisms that feed on human skin and can be found in everyone's home. They thrive in warm, humid places where there is plenty of food, so beds provide the ideal environment for them to live and breed in. Since we spend around a third of our time in bed, we breathe in vast quantities of these house dust mites. Most of us are blissfully unaware of their presence. Some people, however, can experience a hypersensitive reaction to proteins found in the excretion of these dust mites.Whenever you touch or shake your bedclothes, these proteins are inhaled or come into contact with your skin. If you suffer from a house dust mite allergy, your body will produce antibodies, which release a chemical called histamine.

This in turn leads to swelling and irritation of the upper respiratory passages, causing a range of symptoms:

Hay fever Runny nose Sneezing Watering eyes Asthma Worsening of existing eczema

The tendency to be allergic to house dust mites often runs in families. The good news is that there are several ways in which you can protect you and your family from these pests and ensure everyone gets a good night's sleep.

The best bedding to prevent house dust mite allergies

Allergies are often made worse by bedding made from or filled with natural materials, such as feathers and wool. Synthetic materials or high quality cotton (which is tightly woven so that dust mites can't get through the cloth) are best for allergy sufferers. Synthetic materials are easy to wash and dry regularly, which can help protect you from dust mites. Bedding should be washed at a temperature of at least 60°C to kill the dust mites. Another tip for removing dust mites from your bedding is to leave your duvet, pillows and mattress out in the fresh air for an hour every day, or for as often as possible depending on the weather. You can even wrap duvets and pillows in plastic bags and leave them in the freezer for 24 hours once a month to rid them of the dust mites.If you or your children have cushions, teddy bears, and other soft toys on your beds, these can act as dust traps, so make sure they are regularly washed and aired too. Finally, you may want to consider buying a cheap mattress so you can replace it for a new one after six months when the dust mites have infiltrated it.

House dust mites and your bedroom

Dust mites hate dry, cold air, so you can significantly reduce their numbers simply by letting fresh air into your bedroom every day. If the lower edge of your window is moist when you wake up in the morning, it suggests there is too much humidity in the air, which may be exacerbating your dust mite problem.

Don't use a spray to get rid of house dust mites, as these can worsen the symptoms of your allergy. Instead, have as little furniture as possible in the room. Wooden or plastic chairs are preferable, as there is no fabric or upholstery for the mites to live in. Reduce clutter in your room and don't leave anything lying around that gathers dust, such as dried flowers, books or old clothes.

If possible, buy plastic curtains and dust them every day. If you have rugs on the floor, wash them every week and clean your walls, woodwork and floor with a wet cloth. You can buy an allergen filter to fit on your vacuum cleaner, which you should use every day if you can, but at least twice a week. Wear a mask when cleaning to reduce your exposure to allergenic dust, and don't allow smoking in the house as this may worsen your symptoms.

Chemical allergies and organic bedding

House dust mites are not responsible for all bedding allergies. Some people are hypersensitive to the chemicals used to manufacture, treat and dye bedding and bed linen. If you suspect your allergy is caused by chemicals rather than dust mites, investing in a set of organic bedding could benefit your health. Organic bedding is made using natural farming and production methods and is not exposed to chemicals during the growing or manufacturing process. Organically manufactured textiles have less impact on the environment...which will help you sleep more easily too!

How to Identify the Different Varieties of Wood Grain Wall Paneling

In all my years of working as an interior decorator, I have never come across a subject that is so misunderstood as Wood Grain Wall Paneling. I'm here to set the record straight on this type of wall paneling. I will do my best to describe to you what is available in wood grain wall paneling. So join me as I walk you through what is being offered in the world of wood grain wall paneling. You will find out that you have a good variety of styles to choose from. After having given it some time and thought, I have put together some short definitions of the different types of wood grain wall paneling available today. This isn't your grandfather's wall paneling.

Organic Wool Duvet

Okay, so let's take a look at wood grain wall paneling. This is the type of paneling most people think of when the subject of wall paneling comes up. Wood grain paneling comes in a variety of colors and planking widths. Your wood grain choices are Beaded Birch, Frosted Maple, Beaded White, Honey Birch, Lite Birch, Westminster White, Provincial Pine, Paintable Deep Beaded, Oakdale, Fireside Cherry, Plain White Perforated Utility Panel and Oakdale Perforated Utility Panel.

Organic Wool Duvet

I will try to describe these wood grain wall panels to the best of my ability. The Beaded Birch has a medium brown stain with double-cut grooves cut down the length of the panel approximately 2 inches apart. The Frosted Maple is a grayish off-white stain. This panel also has double-cut grooves cut down the length of the panel approximately 2 inches apart.

The Beaded White is a white stain with double-cut grooves cut down the length of the panel approximately 2 inches apart. The Honey Birch is a medium-dark brown stain with single grooves running down the length of the panel alternating between 4 and 6 inches apart.

The Lite Birch is a lighter brown stain with single grooves running down the length of the panel alternating between 4 and 6 inches apart. The Westminster White is, of course, white stain. Westminster White panel is a smooth panel and has no grooves.

Next we have Provincial Pine. Provincial Pine is a light brown stain which has double-cut grooves cut down the length of the panel approximately 4 inches apart. Paintable Deep Beaded comes with a white stain. It has the look of typical bead board. This panel has double-cut grooves cut down the length of the panel approximately 2 inches apart.

Next we have Oakdale. Oakdale is a medium dark brown stain panel with double-cut grooves cut down the length of the panel approximately 4 inches apart. So now we are at Fireside Cherry. Fireside Cherry is a deep dark brown stain. This panel has a single black groove going down the length of the panel alternating between 4 and 6 inches apart.

The next 2 wood grain wall panels are perforated. These panels are called Utility Wall Panels. The holes on these panels serve a purpose. What you do is install these panels in your workshop or garage over the open studs of the wall, so there is an open space behind the perforated panel. There are all types of hooks and holders you can buy at your local hardware store that slide into these perforations. After you apply the hooks that you choose, you will be able to hang your tools, brooms, winter shovels, gardening tools and just about anything within a reasonable size and weight. There are a wide variety of shelves and small storage units that are made to hang on perforated utility panels.

The first of these 2 perforated panels is the Plain White Perforated Utility Panel. That pretty much says it all. This is a white stained 4' x 8' perforated wall panel. The second perforated utility panel is called the Oakdale Perforated wall panel. This 4' x 8' perforated utility wall panel is finished in a medium-dark oak finish. If you are looking for a beautiful wood finished utility panel to organize your tools and supplies, then this panel is for you.

So now you know what is available to you in regards to wood grain wall paneling. Wood grain wall paneling is only a small part of what is available in wall paneling in general. I will follow up in the near future with more information on other types of wall paneling. I hope this has helped you to understand what is available to you when it comes to wall paneling of the wood grain type.
