Faux Wood Walls

The Scrapwood Wallpaper by Piet Hein Eek Adds a Distressed Designer Look

— February 21, 2011 — Art & Design
The Scrapwood Wallpaper by Piet Hein Eek is an easy way to give any plain wall a quick rustic makeover. The mock-wood paneling creates a stellar rugged look that elevates the warmth of any room.

The distressed appearance of the Scrapwood Wallpaper makes walls look like they've been there for a long time; they imitate the classic charm that old rustic buildings have. With these on your walls, it would be like living in a reclaimed barn or a remodeled cabin that reused bits of the old wooden structure.
Trend Themes
1. Distressed Wall Coverings - Opportunity for designers to create faux distressed wall coverings that give a rustic and vintage look to any space.
2. Mock-wood Paneling - Opportunity to develop innovative mock-wood paneling materials that mimic the appearance and texture of real wood but offer more versatility and sustainability.
3. Rustic Makeover Solutions - Opportunity for companies to provide DIY or easy-to-install rustic makeover solutions that can quickly transform plain walls into charming and cozy spaces.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - Potential for interior design companies to offer distressed wall coverings as a popular alternative to traditional paint or wallpaper.
2. Construction and Renovation - Opportunity for construction and renovation companies to integrate mock-wood paneling into their projects, providing clients with durable and sustainable design options.
3. Home Decor - Market potential for home decor retailers to offer rustic makeover solutions, including easy-to-use wall coverings, that cater to the growing demand for cozy and vintage-inspired aesthetics.
