Q. The apartment I am renting has brown wood paneling. I hate it. How can I decorate around it to make it look better?
A. You have a big job on your hands! My advice to you is to create distractions, especially if you can't at least paint the paneling white. By the way, ask if you can.
If you cannot paint the paneling white or another light color, Then you should purchase a bolt of light

colored fabric and make floor to ceiling curtains to hang all the way around the room. Purchase wire curtain hardware similar to what Ikea sells as you can cover a large distance with it. Be extra careful with candles and don't put lamps to close to your fabric.
If you can paint the paneling, then you will only need to distract from the panel pattern on the wall. In this case, hang bold pieces of
wall art that will cause you to focus on them and not the wall. This
Essen Metal Wall Art for instance, will certainly take the focus off an ugly wall and refocus your gaze onto the artwork. This is a truly mesmerizing piece of artwork in a pinwheel design with a mirror in the center. This wall art piece is hypnotically striking and will fit into any contemporary or eclectic styled home.
