I love anything and everything with reclaimed wood. Reclaimed wood beams, fireplaces, shelves, frames, tables, you name it – I love it. So when I heard about Stikwood Adhesive Wood Paneling, I immediately wanted to learn more about it. Here’s the scoop – Stikwood is peel and stick solid wood planking made from real wood in several different colors and styles (they have non-reclaimed styles too). Simply peel off the adhesive paper on the back and it will stick to any interior surface that is clean and smooth.

One of the great things about Stikwood is that applying it seems to be a fairly easy DIY. No hammer and nails – just peel & stick along with a little bit of cutting. It isn’t exactly cheap but if you can cut out the cost of labor (which you’d likely have if using full reclaimed boards), it may end up being a cost saver. It seems like the most common way that Stikwood has been used is to create an accent wall. The planks can be installed horizontally:

or in any kind of pattern that you can dream up such as chevron or herringbone. They also show Stikwood being used on kitchen islands and table tops (shown on IKEA’s LACK side table):

Where would I think about using Stikwood? I love the idea of a reclaimed wood kitchen island. These two images of reclaimed wood islands (using true wood planks, not Stikwood) are what I have in mind:

I also think that Stikwood would look beautiful over a mantel similar to this gorgeous reclaimed barn wood mantel designed by the talented Anisa Darnell:

There are so many possible options – headboards, table tops, mirror frames, etc. etc. If you are interested in Stikwood, you can view the color and style choices and order it at Stikwood.com. As I mentioned earlier, it is also available at West Elm {here} (affiliate link)
So what do you guys think? Does Stikwood have the DIY wheels in your brain spinning?

My style has changed SO MUCH in the past couple of years… I went from simple, patternless neutrals to crazy patterns and colorful spaces. Blogs & pinterest are to thank for this great change. I love reclaimed wood – especially as beams in the ceiling and boards on the wall!!

Im renting my current apartment; how easy are these to remove.
Kris Jarrett says
Hi Shaneka,
Stikwood is described as semi-permanent so I wouldn’t count on being able to remove it. Here’s an idea from their website for your situation:
“We are currently testing a new adhesive that is designed for temporary uses. In the meantime, We recommend nailing/screwing a thin piece of primed and/or painted plywood to the desired surface and applying Stikwood directly to the plywood.”

Hi Kris,
Have you actually used this product? I’m wondering what YOUR experience has been using this product? I’m considering doing an accent wall but am cautious about trying it.
