Bring the Outdoors in With Western Red Cedar Wood Accent Wall
There’s something magical about stepping into a room that instantly makes you feel calm, grounded, and connected to nature. In this stunning bedroom design, the star of the show is the Western Red Cedar interior wood accent wall, a timeless, sustainable material that transforms any space into a warm, inviting sanctuary.
Why Western Red Cedar?
Western Red Cedar has long been prized for its natural beauty, rich tones, and distinct grain patterns. Each shingle tells its own story, with subtle color variations that add depth and character to your space. Beyond looks, cedar is known for being durable, lightweight, and naturally resistant to decay, making it an excellent choice for interior applications.
A Perfect Pairing: Wood + Greenery
In this design, the warm cedar backdrop is elevated with lush greenery cascading from the ceiling and strategically placed potted plants throughout the room. This creates a biophilic design, a style that integrates natural elements to improve well-being, reduce stress, and boost mood.
Texture & Warmth in Every Detail
From the woven accents in the wall décor and furniture to the soft neutral bedding, every element complements the cedar wall’s natural warmth. The wood’s honeyed tones pair beautifully with earthy textures like linen, rattan, and jute, creating a cozy, relaxing atmosphere.
Versatility in Design
Whether your style leans rustic cabin, modern boho, or coastal chic, a Western Red Cedar shingle accent wall can be adapted to fit your aesthetic. In a bedroom, it works especially well behind the bed as a statement-making headboard alternative, drawing the eye and anchoring the room’s design.
Benefits of a Cedar Accent Wall in Your Home
- Natural Insulation & Acoustics – Cedar helps absorb sound and maintain a comfortable indoor climate.
- Aromatic Appeal – The subtle cedar scent adds a soothing, woodsy freshness.
- Low Maintenance – With minimal care, cedar retains its beauty for years.
How to Make It Happen
Creating your own Western Red Cedar DIY accent wall is easier than you might think. Here’s how you can bring this exact look to life:
1. Measure Your Space
Decide which wall will be your focal point and measure its height and width to determine how many bundles of shingles you’ll need.
2. Purchase the Exact Product Used Here

3. Prepare the Wall
Remove any existing wall coverings, fill holes, and ensure the surface is clean and smooth.
4. Install the Shingles
Work from the bottom up, using nails or a nail gun to secure each shingle. Stagger the joints for a natural flow and visual interest.
5. Finish and Style
Leave the cedar natural for a cozy, organic look, or apply a clear sealant to enhance the grain and protect the wood. Add complementary décor such as greenery, woven accents, and soft lighting to complete the space.
