How to Decorate With Pine Walls & Ceilings

Select earth-tone colors for fabrics. Green is striking with pine, as well as deep red. Use tan and brown as accent colors for contrast when using printed designs.

Add more light to corners with sconces. Corners could appear dark and uninviting when sandwiched between so much wood, but extra lighting brings warmth to the wood.

Select earth-tone colors in a plaid on a sofa or chair for a homey feeling. Use pillows in a solid color to complement the plaid fabric.

Choose area rugs to brighten the floor using colors from room accessories. Select solid colors or pick a design to fit into the decor.

Hang tapestries on the walls or a favorite quilt with earth-tone colors. Sew a casing to the back of a tapestry to create a pocket, and slip a curtain rod through the casing. Hang the rod on decorative brackets or hooks.

Combine evergreen branches and long twigs to decorate a fireplace mantle. Set a tall vase beside a fireplace and fill it with pussy willow branches.

Live plants bring color and life to rooms surrounded with pine. Place plants on shelves, tables or a mantel. Plants are a natural accessory in a pine room setting.
