What It Is

Wood veneer wallpaper is made of microthin slices of wood attached to a paper backing. Unlike architectural wood paneling that is built in, wood veneer is installed like other wallcoverings. While there are simple grain patterns available, the vast majority of wood veneer wallcoverings are hand-inlaid in pieces to create eye-catching patterns, like the geometric example seen in this Chicago dining room.

Why It’s Specia l

Adds unique depth, texture and warmth. Natural wood veneer is earthy and calming, and the grain characteristics make each installation unique.
“Wood veneer wallcovering on a wall immediately adds a depth and texture difficult to achieve with any other wall treatment,” designer Andra Birkerts says.

Imagine this home office with a white painted ceiling instead of the richly stained wood veneer wallcovering. Chances are it wouldn’t be nearly as memorable. With the inherent natural qualities of wood, Birkerts says, “you immediately change the feeling in a space when you use it.”

Don’t think just because veneer wallcovering is made of wood that it must be installed on a flat, single-plane surface. It’s likely more flexible than you might imagine.In fact, wood veneer wallcovering is so pliable that it will bend around a sharp 90-degree outside corner

Where to Install It

Living rooms, studies, dining rooms and bedrooms are ideal locations for wood veneer wallcovering. And you don’t have to limit it to walls — it’s a great ceiling finish too. However, avoid installation in rooms with high humidity. Powder rooms, like the one here, are fine, but it’s a good idea to bypass full bathrooms.

Wood veneer wallcovering can also fade and discolor with exposure to sunlight, so avoid installing it in rooms with direct, bright or even a lot of reflected light. Or install light-blocking window treatments or glass with a UV rating for protection.
