Cedar Paneling

Getting the Best Effect From Red and White Cedar Paneling

Something that is coming back into fashion is cedar paneling. For over a century, this traditional wood has been used in closets and clothing storage chests since many people even back then swore that the wood actually had a protective effect on fine clothing. Many people have been debating this ever since, but now it has actually been scientifically proven to be true. It is the aroma of the Eastern red cedar wood that repels the moths away from the clothing. So given all of this, cedar paneling is making a comeback.

You don't have to pay a fortune to create or maintain cedar paneling in your closet. If you want the very best effect, you will need to use solid wood panels. These are expensive to buy, and the price is continuing to rise. Although this will give you the best effect, it is by no means the only option. You can use plywood panels and still get a good effect. Cheaper still is a wafer board solution. This will invariably look cheaper than a full solid panel solution, but it can still be effective.

The appearance of the rest of your home can also be transformed with cedar paneling, it's not just for closets. The red cedar which is used in closets, due to the aroma it gives off, is only one of many types of cedar. Many different types of cedar have their uses in different ways, and the white cedar can produce an air of lightness and space in a room. It has been proven that rooms with light colors seem larger to the human eye, even though the phenomenon is, of course, an illusion.

If you want to create a light, roomy effect, white cedar paneling is often used not just for furniture but for walls and ceilings. Many of the rooms constructed with cedar are small rooms at the top of a house, often used as a child's bedroom. These small areas benefit from the light appearance. You can create an entire large room from white cedar, and the effect will be striking. Use cedar furniture in the room for the complete effect.

The great thing about cedar paneling is that it can always be replaced when it starts to look shabby and worn. If you don't feel up to that task, though, there are other alternatives. It is relatively easy to use wallpaper over cedar panels, and this gives you a virtually unlimited range of colors, effects, and possibilities. It is vital the wood remains in basic good condition, although it can be rough from wear. Sand it down to make sure that it is smooth, before you attempt to add the wallpaper. Wallpaper is good for people who like to regularly change the appearance of a room, although it can never match the appearance of natural cedar paneling.
