Tongue and Groove Wall Paneling Joins the Comeback Club
Try this smooth architectural move to give your walls a streamlined appearance that conveys quality
Horizontal tongue and groove wall paneling is all the rage. While the technique has been around for what seems like eons, the resulting streamlined appearance has made a recent comeback.
Tongue and groove joints allow flat pieces of wood to be joined together to make a single flat surface. Known for their rich texture, striped pattern and ability to dramatically change the feeling of a room, horizontal tongue and groove walls especially pop in comparison to the blank canvas of drywall.
This classic wall treatment is an especially effective way to cover old, damaged walls. In my 90-year-old home, we're planning to cover our crackly plaster. Just set it and forget it.
Whether they have a natural pine finish, are painted bright or are combined with additional architectural elements, tongue and groove walls are guaranteed to define a space, work as a focal point and pack an architectural punch.
