Wood paneling, especially if solid wood, is more durable than wallpapers and wall paint. Solid wood paneling is also a greener choice because it is often harvested in man-made, sustainable forests, where various wood types are grown for multiple timber purposes in an ecologically sustainable manner.

Some of the best options include teak, walnut, and oak, while some of the poorer choices of wood include pine and cedar. But, it’s really all a matter of taste and it depends on what kind of space you’re trying to create and the aesthetic that you’re going for by adding wood wall paneling.
