The wall behind the television is one of the most visible surfaces in the entire living room, yet it’s often left completely plain or treated as an afterthought. A wood panel treatment turns that wall into the room’s main architectural feature, whether through a clean slat pattern, a dramatic herringbone design, or a fully integrated … Read more
A wood slat ceiling adapts to nearly every room in the home, not just the living room where it’s most commonly applied.
