Interior cedar plank wall panels can add visible wood grain, natural color, and a cedar scent to a room. The best choice depends on the wall area, plank profile, and installation setting. The 21-square-foot mixed-length Western red cedar panels suit larger accent walls, while the ½-inch tongue-and-groove planks are a better fit for buyers prioritizing thicker boards. Aromatic cedar closet planking is designed for a different use: lining a closet with narrower, four-foot boards.

Western Red Cedar Panels, 10.5 Square Feet
This box includes 3.5-inch-wide Canadian red cedar boards in lengths from 16 to 55 inches, covering 10.5 square feet. The listing describes the wood as natural, untreated cedar sourced from Canadian forests, with a pronounced grain and no knots.
Best for: A smaller accent wall or a project where mixed board lengths can help create a varied layout. It was selected as a compact option with clearly stated coverage and plank dimensions.
Consider: The box covers only 10.5 square feet, so measure the wall and plan for cuts before ordering. The listed lengths vary, which may require layout planning to create the pattern you want.
Western Red Cedar Panels, 21 Square Feet
This larger box contains 3.5-inch-wide Canadian red cedar planks in lengths from 16 to 55 inches and covers 21 square feet. The product listing describes the boards as sustainably sourced, untreated natural wood with an almost knot-free surface.
Best for: Buyers covering a wider feature wall who want the same mixed-length format in a larger package. It offers twice the stated coverage of the 10.5-square-foot version, making it easier to plan a larger installation with fewer boxes.
Consider: Coverage is 21 square feet per box, not a guarantee that every wall can be covered without waste. Allow for trimming, corners, and any boards that do not fit the planned layout.
Western Red Cedar Tongue And Groove Cladding
These Canadian red cedar boards are 5.3 inches wide, with lengths from 12 to 55 inches. The package covers 21 square feet. Its tongue-and-groove profile distinguishes it from the mixed-length panels above, and the listing describes the boards as having a clear surface and visible wood texture.
Best for: Buyers who prefer wider boards and a tongue-and-groove profile for an interior wall project. It was selected for its stated coverage and distinct board width.
Consider: The listed lengths vary, so check the package details and plan the arrangement before installation. The product is also described for exterior and ceiling decor; confirm that the intended application suits your project.
bingaai Thick Cedar Tongue And Groove Panels
These Western red cedar planks are listed as ½ inch (12 mm) thick, four feet long, and suitable for walls, ceilings, sauna projects, and accent panels. The pack covers 10.6 square feet. The tongue-and-groove edges are designed to fit together, and the listing says the boards can be cut with a standard miter saw or circular saw.
Best for: Buyers who specifically want thicker boards and a joined profile. The listed thickness makes this a different choice from the thinner closet planking in this roundup.
Consider: Coverage is limited to 10.6 square feet per pack. The product listing discusses humid environments, but assess the requirements of your specific room and installation rather than assuming any cedar panel is suitable for every wet location.
Cedar Elements Aromatic Cedar Closet Planking
This product is made from U.S.-grown aromatic red cedar and covers 15 square feet. Its boards measure ¼ by 3¾ by 48 inches, or are supplied in a nested equivalent. The tongue-and-groove construction is described as easy to install, and the listing notes the characteristic cedar aroma.
Best for: Closet lining or a small project where narrow, four-foot aromatic cedar boards are preferred. Its stated dimensions make it straightforward to compare with wider, mixed-length wall panels.
Consider: The boards are only ¼ inch thick and are marketed as closet liner planking. Choose another option if thicker boards are a priority.
Buying Guide: How To Choose Interior Cedar Planks
How much coverage should you buy?
Measure the wall’s width and height, then multiply them to estimate its square footage. Compare that figure with the coverage listed for each package: the products here range from 10.5 to 21 square feet. Plan for offcuts and layout choices, especially with varied board lengths. For a large wall, packages with greater stated coverage may reduce the number of boxes required.
Should you choose tongue-and-groove boards?
Tongue-and-groove edges are designed to fit together, creating a joined layout. The bingaai and Cedar Elements options list this profile, as does the wider cladding product. The two Western red cedar mixed-length options do not list tongue-and-groove construction in their supplied features. Compare the profile and dimensions before choosing an installation approach.
Which board dimensions matter most?
Width affects how many courses span a wall, while length influences seams and layout. The mixed-length panels are 3.5 inches wide; the cladding is 5.3 inches wide; and the closet planks are 3¾ inches wide and four feet long. Thickness also varies: bingaai lists ½-inch boards, while Cedar Elements lists ¼-inch planks.
What should you check before installation?
Confirm package coverage, board dimensions, and whether the intended use matches the product listing. Decide on a horizontal, vertical, or other layout, and account for outlets, corners, and cuts. Review the manufacturer’s installation guidance and the needs of the room. Product descriptions alone do not establish that a panel is appropriate for every interior condition.
