How To Get The Best Effect From Red And White Cedar Paneling

Cedar paneling is coming right back in to fashion. This traditional wood was used in closets and clothes storage chests a century ago, and many people swore back then that the wood actually had a protective effect on fine clothing. The debate has raged ever since, but science has now demonstrated that the believers of the past were indeed correct. The Eastern red cedar wood, with its distinctive aroma, does give clothing protection from invasive moths. Cedar paneling is now returning, as ever more people are seeking to recreate the effect which was so popular a century ago.

Cedar paneling can transform your closet, and it need not be expensive to create or maintain. 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.

Cedar paneling can transform the appearance of the rest of your home. 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.

White cedar paneling is regularly used in the construction of furniture, but it is also used for walls and ceilings, creating a light roomy effect. 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.

When cedar paneling starts to become tired and worn, it can always be replaced. 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.
