With the beginning of the New Year, you may be thinking of some DIY projects around the house. Planking is a fabulous trend in the decorating world and New England Classic offers the products you need to complete this project.
Many times homeowners think of wood planking on the walls, chair rail height, painted white or stained. These are great uses for wood planking, however, the uses are much greater and the possibilities are endless as to what you can do with it.
Planking is not limited to just walls. It can be used on the ceiling or to accessorize pieces of furniture or your kitchen island. Also, it is not limited to just a white paint or stain finish. It can be painted any color you choose, and left that color, or distressed to add charm and personality.
Here are a couple ideas to get your creative juices flowing. For a cottage look in your bedroom or sunroom, add whitewashed planking to the walls. This adds an element of character to your room. Complete the room with an antique iron bed, shabby chic bedding, soft lighting, and dried flowers. You will have a beautifully redecorated bedroom in no time.
Islands are a great look in almost any kitchen. They can be built to accent a country styled kitchen or a modern decorated kitchen or anything in between. They are surprisingly affordable, and look even more dynamic with planking added to them. By painting them a contrasting color you add an element of personality to your kitchen.
Planking from New England Classic allows you to make some fabulous changes to your home. Whether you choose to use it on the walls, ceilings, or accent pieces, we have the products you need. Visit our website for a complete listing of planking products. Contact us with any questions.
