Choose the Right Boards
If you’ve never worked with lumber, check out our Lumber Buying Guide for information and tips on how to choose the correct type for your project. Which board you use can vary based on your project size, budget and how much time and effort you’d like to put into it. Boards come in a variety of materials, species of wood as well as quality of board. Wood planks can vary based on treatment, density, appearance and maintenance. Pine boards are among the most common given they are good to use across many project types.

The Home Depot also offers barn wood that gives a rustic look and comes as either treated reclaimed wood or new lumber that has been distressed to give the appearance of reclaimed wood.

When thinking about effort of installation, consider the joint type for your boards. The three most popular joints are tongue and groove, square edge and shiplap.

Get the Look with Panels
Uniform and easy to install, paneling is an option that gives an authentic look without the time, expense or maintenance of original materials. Common types of paneling include FRP panels, 3D panels and shiplap panels. For traditional looks, wainscoting panels and beadboard panels give an authentic classic look without all the measuring and cutting of boards.

Panels can also be used for sound dampening. Acoustic wall paneling can help stop sound from traveling between rooms while bass traps can help trap sound inside booths in recording studios.
