FAQ

What is decorative wood on a wall called?

Decorative wood on a wall is usually described as wood paneling or wood accent walls. Common styles include:

  • Shiplap or tongue-and-groove planks — horizontal boards with a tight fit.
  • Wainscoting — lower-wall panels with trim for a classic look.
  • Reclaimed or barn wood panels — textured, rustic finishes.
  • Engineered wood or veneer panels — thinner, lighter options for easy install.

When shopping, check product details for material, installation method, and recommended room use. Walmart lists many paneling styles and pickup/shipping options on each product page to help with planning.

How can I panel a wall on a budget?

There are several budget-friendly approaches to paneling a wall that still look intentional:

  • Peel-and-stick or lightweight MDF panels — low cost and quicker to install.
  • Plywood or pine planks cut to size and painted — inexpensive raw materials.
  • Use narrow trim boards to create faux paneling or vertical planks, then paint for a cohesive finish.
  • Consider half-wall wainscoting instead of a full wall to save material.

Prepare the wall, measure carefully, and compare product reviews on Walmart to pick materials and tools that match your skill level. Results can vary based on materials and installation method.

How do I attach decorative wall panels?

The best attachment method depends on the panel type and wall surface. Common approaches include:

  • Adhesive (construction or panel adhesive) for lightweight panels on smooth, clean drywall.
  • Nails or screws into studs for heavier or structural panels—use pilot holes to avoid splitting.
  • Finish nails or brad nails for trim-style panels, often used with adhesive for extra hold.
  • Anchors when fastening through drywall where no stud is available.

Always follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions, level panels during install, and consider hiring a pro or checking Walmart’s product pages for available installation services if you’re unsure.

How can I style an empty living room wall?

Turning a blank living room wall into a focal point starts with scale and purpose. Try these ideas:

  • Gallery wall: mix framed art and photos in an organized layout using odd-number groupings (3–5 pieces).
  • Large statement piece: one oversized artwork, mirror, or textile for instant impact.
  • Shelving: floating shelves add display space and texture with plants and decor.
  • Accent wall: paint, wallpaper, or paneling to add depth and color.

Measure the space, plan placement on the floor first, and anchor decor relative to nearby furniture for balanced visual weight. Product pages on Walmart can help you source frames, shelves, and wall hooks.

Is wall paneling still in style?

Wall paneling remains a versatile trend when used thoughtfully. Recent approaches favor:

  • Painted panels for a modern, clean look.
  • Wide planks or minimalist vertical panels instead of heavy, dark boards.
  • Mixed materials — pairing wood-look panels with tile, paint, or wallpaper for contrast.

Paneling can suit many styles from contemporary to farmhouse depending on finish and color. When choosing paneling, consider room size, light, and furniture scale. Browse current options and customer photos on Walmart to see how different panel styles look in real rooms before buying.

What to look for when shopping for wall decor

Are you shopping for home decor? Take a tip from design professionals. Although beautiful furniture plays a big role in creating an inviting home or apartment, good design is all about the details. If you're on the hunt for the ideal home accessories to complement your furniture, start with wall decor. Here's what to look for when purchasing wall art, mirrors, shelving, clocks, tapestries, and shadow boxes.

Wall art

When you hear the phrase "wall art" you might think of framed paintings or photographs, but wall art includes a variety of mediums. You can decorate your walls with unframed canvases, wall sculptures, collages, framed posters, decorative wall panels, and other options.

When shopping for canvas art, make sure products are stretched and ready to hang. For optimal quality, look for works painted on 100 percent cotton canvases with a clear acrylic finish for protection from dust, moisture, and fading. You can place these in sunnier areas without worrying that the colors will lose their brightness.

If you're looking for picture frames to house existing prints or photographs, make sure to measure carefully to get the appropriate size. Choose from metal, natural wood, painted wood, glass, or plastic to match your current design aesthetic.

Bring out the beauty of a simple print or photograph with a lighter picture frame and highlight a bolder print or photograph with a darker frame. If you're shopping for a colored picture frame, pick a hue that's complementary to your wall color but not too similar.

Wall mirrors

Mirrors add depth and light to an interior space. Make a statement along any wall with a well-placed floor mirror, or group multiple mirrors on your wall for a look with dramatic flair. When shopping for mirrors, look for products with an accurate reflection that you can choose to vertically or horizontally for extra versatility. If you have your heart set on a frameless mirror, search for one with a sleek beveled edge.

Wall shelves

While you may not think of shelving as wall art, certain types of shelves definitely enhance the appearance of your walls. For a modern or contemporary living room or bedroom, shop for simple floating wall shelves. Top them with books, small potted plants, and framed black-and-white photos for some chic minimalist style. When shopping for floating shelves, look for products made from solid wood for optimal quality and durability.

Wall clocks

Wall clocks offer a unique blend of style and function. For a traditional look in the living room, choose a pendulum wall clock with a solid wood case and an elegant-sounding chime. Make sure your pendulum clock comes with volume control and a silencer for nighttime hours. If you love farm-style design, shop for a clock made from whitewashed shiplap, or purchase a sleek sunburst clock to suit mid-century modern decor.

With a wide array of types and sizes, there's a wall clock for every interior space, from bathrooms and bedrooms to kitchens. If you're looking to add a little extra flair to your wall decor, consider a neon wall clock, a cuckoo clock, a coffee mug wall clock, an atomic digital clock, or a vintage cat clock with rolling eyes and a wagging tail. When shopping for wall clocks, eliminate messy cords and winding by checking for battery capability.

Wall tapestries

Want to make a wow statement on a bare wall? Shop for a wall tapestry. Similar to a painting, a tapestry is a work of art in fabric form, so it drapes nicely and adds warmth to a room. When shopping for a tapestry, consider the size of your wall and choose a product that fits to scale. Opt for fabric that meshes well with other materials in the room and pick a tapestry with colors that complement existing hues. Because tapestries take up a good amount of wall space, make sure to select a design that speaks to you, whether it's bohemian, western, coastal, or floral.

Shadow boxes

If you're looking for a true conversation starter, consider adding a shadow box or two to your wall decor. Basically a shallow glass box with a solid frame, a shadow box allows you to bring a touch of your personality to your wall space. Fill shadow boxes with wedding or baby mementos, graduation announcements, campaign buttons, old letters and photos, or other personal items that have meaning to you. When choosing a shadow box, look for one with a sturdy frame, pin-able backing, easy-open hinges and clasps, and a sturdy saw-tooth wall hanger.
