Default wood colour on dado wallpaper

Hi all,
I have bought a dado wallpaper. It is 1mtr. high and comes in 5mtr
rolls. This paper gives a wood panel effect, but is an expensive
analglypta. (I hope I spelt that right)
I want to make this look like real wood. Do I paint it with a shade of
brown paint, and if so which type? Or do I use a wood stain, wood dye?
I am at a loss. Please have anyone done this and can they let me know
if they were successful?

Thanks in advance.
Glenn
