Paneling

 

My dear friends and readers, I am very busy preparing clients projects and today I browsed my files of inspirational images of paneling.

Images of English styled paneling and of French styled paneling.

Which is your favorite paneling? The English or the French styled paneling ? Or do you love both styles?

    Greet,
    J'aime beau beaucoup les boiseries anciennes et patinées de la photo 3.
    C'est un endroit que je connais : "Les Cernailles" une très belle chambre d'hôtes près de Laon. Je vais d'ailleurs dessiner prochainement ces intérieurs pour non livre sur l'Aisne.
    Bonne soirée,
    Céline.

    English for the library and dining rooms and French for the rest of the house :)

    We had dark paneling in the living room of a house several years ago. It is tough to live in even with windows on both sides of the room. I dared myself on many occasions to paint the room white before my partner came home from work {but never did}.
    I know from living in a space with beautiful wood panels that it can create a warmth and ambiance, but for me I need it painted light.

    I prefer the light wood and beautiful curves of the French paneling. Pics 3 and 4 are my favourite!

    Warm hugs to you my friend!

    I think I like both, but I love the ones that came from your companies files the best. You have caused me to see wood in a whole new light, the craftsmanship that your business produces is so beautiful, how could anyone see that and not adore wood again.
    Hugs, Cindy

    I love the lighter panelling for living, but I do enjoy the dark wood panelling for libraries and snugs, for the coziness factor! Have a lovely day Sharon

    The French panneling is what I love. The graceful curves and soft colors. I especially like the oak panelling you do with the very soft finish where the grain of the wood shows through.

    Paneling gives a room depth. These are lovely rooms that do just that and add such rich history too.

    Toutes ces pièces sont belles, mais j'adore la première photo. Le bois tout en blanc donne un air à la fois léger et important. Mais j'avoue que j'aime bien la 4ième aussi (la votre ?) - classique, mais en meme temps, moderne.

    I have finally found an image and IDEA for my studio. Your light colored paneling is exactly the STYLE I WANT ABOVE MY MANTEL, but painted in that soft and light gray...thank you, GREET!!!!! Anita

    I tend to associate English paneling with the formality and stiffness. Maybe that's due to the continuing influence of New England's first English settlers. Sally's and my personal preferences lean toward the lighter, more delicate and feminine feel of the paneling in your last two images. We are fortunate to live in Salem, MA, where Samuel McIntire practiced in the early 1800's. His interpretation of English Georgian and our Federal style is much lighter and more graceful. When we are asked to design paneling in an English/New England style, we look to him for our inspiration.

    Cheers,
    john
