Feature Wall Friday: Stained Pine Plywood Wall

by on 910 Comments

Today’s edition of Feature Wall Friday is all about stained pine plywood panels.  I first fell in love with this look when I ran across this image online.

The styling of the entire room is spot on, but I’m really crushing on the blue stained plywood wall.  Imagine my surprise when I found out that it was actually wallpaper!

This would be easy to recreate as actual paneling, though.  I think you’d need to use pine plywood, since stain gets into the grain in such a way that you’d have some colored portions and some negative portions as well (obviously, test it on a little piece first).

Lowe’s offers instructions for staining and creating a similar wall, but their wall features small plywood squares instead of one large piece.  It’s a nice look, too.

Minwax offers a nice selection of colors in their Water Based Stain, and I’d probably go that route if I were to give this a go.  I think a bright color would give this sort of wall an edge that a more neutral tone doesn’t provide.

Could you rock a stained plywood wall?  What color stain would you choose?

    Love the blue! I’d do wall paper but I don’t like putting wood on the walls. I think it’s a childhood nightmare 😉
