Late-colonial style featured rooms painted in natural, earth-toned hues. Ceilings used real wood planks in looks like beadboard and shiplap to add simple style.
Today, that simplicity resonates in coastal, farmhouse, and eclectic styles. Decorating with affordable wood-look planks is more popular than ever - reclaimed, driftwood, and white washed looks keep this style from being anything but boring.
To follow this trend in your dining room, install wood-look planks on the ceiling, or on the wall either vertically or horizontally as wainscoting. Either option will give your room a simple, but timeless, style.
