Powder room accent wall: vinyl wood look plank vs. hardwood planks

9 years ago

I want to have a wood plank accent wall in my main floor powder room. Do you recommend vinyl wood-look peel and stick planks or real wood peel and stick planks? The vinyl ones look really good and would be easier to keep clean, I suppose, as well as cheaper, but looking to hear thoughts from pros or amateurs who have done something like this before.

We have LVT wood planks for our basement floor. It's a great surface... for a rec-room floor. We recently had an appraisal and the appraiser thought it was laminate, like a lot of people do.

I don't think it would make a very nice looking accent wall. I think for the impact and price you'd rather do wood.

Do wood. It won't (oughtn't) get peed on in there. :)

Yeah. I had second thoughts after I bought a box of 40 sq ft of lvt planks and realized I just don't think I can do that. We're going to go with real wood. Thanks for the feedback.
