The Opposite Of White Shiplap: Paneling, shiplap, wainscoting… they are all useful tools in creating interior architectural charm when there is none. But often these wall features are painted in white or light neutrals serving as a textural backdrop for the rest of the decor.

We love that in this space, though, the back paneling has been painted in an off-black creating a visually impactful design moment as well as camouflaging the TV.

Earthy With Ethereal: When it comes to wood paneling we often do one of two things – replace it or embrace the cabin feel and decorate with dark and heavy pieces.

Here, Tiffany offsets the earthiness of the pine paneled ceiling by selecting pieces for the rest of the room that are ethereal – light in tone and texture.

Black With Blue: Gone are the days where we leave black pieces stranded in a sea of light tones without anything to anchor it. When it comes to working with color contrasts, it’s important to bring in a tone that works as a bridge. In this case, a midnight blue rug tones down the starkness between the black chairs and gray walls.
