Dining Room Accent Wall | Reclaimed Wood Paneling

Q: What finish works best for a small dining room?

Lighter shades like Sundance White or Casper keep a small dining area or a low-light room feeling open. If the room gets plenty of natural light, a darker shade like Saratoga reads as a bold focal point instead of closing the space in.

Q: Can I use this paneling in other rooms?

Yes. The same planks work in living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, ceilings, staircases, and around fireplace mantels, so you can carry one finish through the entire space.

DINING ROOM PANELING: OUR FINISHES

Your finish sets the mood of the room. For warm, cozy dinners, Cheyenne, Cody, and Wheatland bring honey browns and rustic tones. To brighten a room, Sundance White and Casper keep the room light, while Laramie adds a calm, natural gray. For a bold, dramatic backdrop, reach for Saratoga or Sundance Red. Every finish keeps the wood's natural grain and texture.

DINING ROOM ACCENT WALL IDEAS & DESIGN ELEMENTS

The wall behind the dining table is the natural spot for a feature wall, giving the room a focal point and a backdrop for a hanging light fixture or a piece of art. You can also panel the wall behind a buffet or bar cart, run the planks floor to ceiling for a built-in effect, or cover every wall for a fully immersive, finished look.

Interior designers reach for reclaimed wood to add texture and turn a plain dining wall into the piece everyone notices. The planks fit neatly against your existing baseboard and crown molding, so you can panel between the trim without tearing anything out, whether it is a full makeover or a weekend DIY.

FEATURE CENTENNIAL WOODS BEYOND YOUR DINING ROOM

Why stop at the dining room? The same planks work in the living room, in a bedroom, up a staircase, across a ceiling, or around a fireplace mantel, so the accent wall never feels like a one-off. Carrying one finish through the entire space ties the rooms together into a warm, inviting atmosphere. For exterior projects, our siding profiles come in the same finishes and take the look outside to patios and facades.

For larger jobs, projects over 500 square feet can move to our 6-foot bulk paneling at a reduced cost per square foot compared to smaller orders. Planning something over 1,000 square feet? Call us, and we will quote it.

“We were looking to add an accent wall to our basement bar and finally settled on Centennial Woods. The fact that they are reclaimed Wyoming Snow Fence was huge since it adds a real local touch to our space. It shipped fast, was easy to work with and it came out amazing.”

“Our project turned out exactly as I had imagined. We installed an electric fireplace in the living room, put the wood planks in the dining room bar area, and used it as backsplash in the kitchen. It warms up the space and ties it all together.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How much dining room accent wall paneling do I need?

Each box covers 20 square feet, with planks 1/4 inch thick and a 5-inch face in a mix of 4, 3, 2, and 1-foot lengths. Multiply your wall height by its length, then add 10% to 15% for cuts and waste. If your accent wall wraps around a window or a built-in, use the higher end of that range.

How much does dining room wall paneling cost?

Our reclaimed wood typically runs $7 to $14 per square foot depending on finish, quantity, and treatments like Centennial Seal or Flame Retardant Coating. Call us for a free estimate on your project.

Can I install it myself?

Yes, most people do. At 1/4 inch thick, the planks are light, cut easily, and go up with adhesive and nails. A single dining room accent wall is a weekend project for two people. Our full installation guide walks through the steps, and Centennial Cut-Seal seals any raw cut edges.

What finish works best for a small dining room?

Lighter shades like Sundance White or Casper keep a small dining area or a low-light room feeling open. If the room gets plenty of natural light, a darker shade like Saratoga reads as a bold focal point instead of closing the space in.

Can I panel around a chandelier, sconces, or outlets?

Yes. The planks cut easily to fit around a light fixture, wall sconces, switches, and outlets, so you can run the paneling right up to them for a clean edge.

Do the planks have color and texture variation?

Yes. Each board carries its own character from years of weathering in Wyoming's high plains. Expect natural variation in color, grain, and nail holes, which is what separates real reclaimed wood from a printed look-alike.

Will a dining room accent wall work with my existing baseboard and crown molding?

Yes. Most people panel the field between the trim they already have, and the planks sit flush against a standard 6-inch baseboard and crown molding. You can also remove the trim, panel the full wall, and reinstall it over the wood.

Can I use this paneling in other rooms?

Yes. The same planks work in living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, ceilings, staircases, and around fireplace mantels, so you can carry one finish through the entire space.

How long does an order take?

Online orders under 500 square feet usually ship within 7 to 14 business days. Larger and custom orders generally run 1 to 4 weeks.
