Cedar Closet Lining: Protecting Your Clothes

Many different types of materials can be used to line your closet to protect your clothing, but none is as good as a cedar closet lining. It wasn't that long ago that it was only thought that cedar could help protect the contents of a closet from moths and other pests. Now it has actually been tested scientifically to prove that cedar does indeed possess at least some of these qualities, but it is still not known to what extent. Testing is continuing in this area to more accurately determine the benefits.


The thing that you need to know at this point is that it has been conclusively proven that a cedar lining does provide a benefit that you should not be ignored. That should be enough to encourage anyone thinking of redecorating their bedroom to seriously think about incorporating cedar into their plans. If you are not ready yet to redecorate, there are still some steps you can take to bring cedar into your room and enjoy its benefits. Wafer board panels can be used to create the effect of a cedar closet, without a lot of work and at a very reasonable price.

A big disadvantage of wafer boards is that they can look fake and not be very attractive. As a step up this very rudimentary solution, you can try plywood. Plywood is a sort of “middle of the road” solution. It is not as cheap as wafer board, but it will produce a considerably better looking finish if it is properly installed. It will confer many of the benefits of real cedar panels, but not all and certainly not to the same degree. It is a perfectly reasonable solution if you cannot afford the real thing.

Installing solid wood planks is the best solution. This will give you the greatest benefit from a cedar closet liner, but it will be the most expensive. Nevertheless, it will give you the satisfaction of a genuine cedar smell, and the aesthetic appearance of natural wood. Your clothes will gain the highest possible degree of protection that this quality material can offer. If you can afford it, it worth going with the most expensive solution.

The great thing about a cedar closet lining is that it will fit in with just about any design scheme or system you want to undertake in your bedroom. Having said that, if for some reason you feel it doesn't fit, there will be a strong case for changing the rest of the room, and still keeping the cedar. Certainly, this will be the case if you have fine clothes made of natural materials, which are more susceptible to mothballs. When you add up the expense of replacing your entire wardrobe, with no guarantee that the problem won't recur, you can see the sense in sticking with a cedar closet lining.
