Are you wondering what material to put on your interior cabin walls? Why not go with the #1 choice of cabin owners everywhere – Knotty Pine paneling. This beautiful and rustic wood creates the perfect setting, along with a wood floor, for any log cabin or home. It’s also easy to install and is quite affordable for any cabin budget.

Knotty Pine will add that rustic charm you are looking for, especially with an open house concept. You can stick to the basics of simple cabin design, or add a few modern home touches. Creating an interior that you will be happy with for many years is so important because that’s what you will see the most down the road. Add an open front porch and an enclosed back deck for year-round enjoyment. Knotty Pine looks just as good on the deck as it does inside.

Think about an open concept instead of narrow hallways like people built in years past. It gives you plenty of room to move around in, and bring items into the cabin. Stain the wood in the color of your choice, add some other colors here and there, place some pillows on the furniture, and add a little artwork. If you enjoy wildlife, add it in the form of paintings, drawings, or animal forms. Add the perfect window treatments, furniture, accessories, and you will be all set. The Knotty Pine paneling surrounds all the interior décor and decorations for a lifetime of enjoyment.

What It Looks Like Before and After Installation

These two illustrations compare the Knotty Pine panels before and after staining, finishing, and installing on the walls. The first photo shows the unique tongue and groove end-matching features on the sides and ends of the planks. This construction allows the panels to lock tightly together so you don’t have to splice them on the centers of wall studs.

The joints are naturally strong and made even stronger when you secure them with a nail gun. If you don’t currently own a nail gun, purchase one because it will be used throughout the installing process. Leading wood suppliers ship the Pine with or without a finish; take your pick. Typically, you won’t need to sand the raw wood because it will arrive in satisfactory condition.

You can save a lot of time and effort by ordering pre-finished Knotty Pine paneling. It is sanded between coats to provide a glassy smooth finish ready to install. Just cut it to length, put it up, and add any trims you desire.

“I wanted to let you know that my project is complete, and I’m very pleased with the end result. I was hesitant to order the material sight unseen from Michigan, but it worked beautifully. I couldn’t convince myself that the waste would be as minimal as advertised, so I do have some left over. Not a problem, as I have people lining up to take it off my hands. My installer said the quality of the material was superior to anything he had used. Thanks again for your assistance.”(Colby from Texas)
