Wall Paneling Ideas

Add wainscoting or paneled walls to a home and instantly it has more substance and stylish character. It is so versatile, you could literally cover every room in your home with a different type of wall paneling.  While this interior detail is rooted in traditional architecture, it can also enhance a home with a more modern appeal. It just comes down to what it is paired with.

Use wainscot to line the walls of your kitchen nook. By doing this, you add fresh charm to the wall. Pair this project with a new, oversized light fixture and it clearly proves you have a modern space.

Pairing a bright color with a neutral environment and add a tremendous amount of style. Having raised panel wainscoting running up to the ceiling in your entry way is considered very traditional. However, if paired with ebony floors and a pair of abstract prints with a brilliant pop of yellow stops the space from being so traditional and formal. This concept transforms a traditional, formal look into a welcoming entrance.

One beautiful way to install wall paneling is to choose a style that ends above the midpoint of a wall.  By stopping your paneling before it reaches the ceiling, you add a dramatic effect to the room. Pale lilac walls and a touch of turquoise above a higher wall paneled room enhance it beautifully.

To create a sophisticated environment with a modern attitude try this: cover every surface with either wainscoting or wall paneling. Paint this all white, and then decorate with black furniture and add a pop of color with a few accent pieces or pillows. This will total transform a traditional room into a space with a modern look.

Add paneling up the side of a stairwell for a traditional application that always looks beautiful. Add a dark handrail and a dark framed bench underneath. This adds an amazing amount of artistic fashion.
