Wood Wall Art Ideas
Color palette is a key consideration when deciding how to incorporate a reclaimed wood wall, according to Matt Schmidt of AMEK Custom Builders. Reclaimed wood’s finish can vary greatly, from smooth, weathered gray to rough hewn in a rainbow of paint colors. When in doubt, clean white walls work well with any color of wood. For this wall Schmidt stripped down 8-inch Douglas fir siding to 4 inches, using a tongue and groove method so he could butt the pieces together flat instead of making them lapped.

While dramatic and dark in style, these works don’t overpower the space, instead they offset its clean minimalism and bring character to the white feature wall. This is a bold look, further accentuated by the casual propping of petite pieces on the floor, which helps to draw the eye over the full length of the wall. Bear in mind that paintings with large frames may be too heavy for a wall that isn’t load bearing. Here, a picture rail is used to support the weight of the artworks, while the spot lighting brings out the highlights in each piece and gives the room a professional gallery feel.
“You could stick your fingers right through floorboards to the dirt in some places.” That meant the bottoms of the studs were completely rotted, so the walls needed to be replaced.
