34 Perfect Wainscoting Ideas - Wainscoting for Every Wall in Every Room
A lovely way to enhance the walls of your home is by adding wainscoting along your baseboards and walls. Wainscoting is a simple and long-lasting improvement that can breathe new life into just about any room of your home, on any wall, and in practically any style and design.
Wainscoting was originally used as a functional component in homes. Today, we see them as an element of elegant interior decoration that infuses color, size, and shape in a wide array of environments. Due to its widespread utilization in modern architecture, some might find a home without at least some wainscoting on the wall somewhat of an anomaly.
In fact, in many homes, wainscoting seems to exist in just about every room. The same is true even in many apartment buildings and condos.
This doesn’t mean that wainscoting is always used well or incorporated into interior design in an effective or aesthetically pleasing way. For that reason, we’ve put together the 34 most inspired wainscoting ideas that you’ll love to use in your own home on any wall. You’ll see wainscoting used on the walls of dining rooms, living room, bathrooms, bedrooms, and more.
Take a look at my curated list of Wainscoting Designs and Wainscoting Styles to give you ideas for your next DIY home improvement project! Let me know which photos you like best. You’ll find many room-specific wall ideas to fit any home design style!
Read also: We have an article about the different Wainscoting styles, to help you get a grasp on all the options available: 3 Best Wainscoting Styles for your Walls
Classic White Cottage Wainscoting Style
Create a timeless look with simple white wainscoting around the walls of your dining room or kitchen nook.
This effortless paneling style easily complements nearly any style you want to achieve. Add additional wall covering, like wallpaper, above the wainscoting installation or chair rail for even more style in your room design.
Tall Panel Board and Batten Wainscoting
If your room has high or lofted ceilings, extra-tall board and batten wainscoting panels can dress the walls and bring attention to the beauty of vaulted ceilings with clarity and life, no matter what room you decide to highlight. Board and Batten goes great on dining rooms, bathroom, living room, or home office. As you can see below, you can paint it in various colors like white, black, or gray. Add wallpaper or accent color on the wall above it to create an eye-catching room.
Rustic Green Beadboard
Nothing quite says rustic or provincial like a perfectly weathered green beadboard wainscoting adorning your wall. Try this style in your bathroom to give the area a homely and comforting appearance.
Industrial Chic Tin-Roof Wainscoting
Keep in mind that not all wainscoting needs to be made of wood. One particular replacement wall covering material comes by way of metal, especially in the form of repurposed or distressed aluminum. Check to this bathroom design below with rusty metal panels along the wall.
Oblique Lines in Relief
To bring the walls into focus without calling too much attention to them, you can craft plain white crisscrossing lines that intersect in a repeating pattern. This design element works incredibly well in long hallways or along stairs that need a bit of panache.
Chevron Panel Wainscoting
If the look you’re after calls for simplicity, but you also want to achieve a bit of intrigue, employ a simple chevron pattern (with or without a bifurcating line). While seemingly straightforward, this design creates movement while simultaneously drawing the eye around the room. Add a contrasting color above the wood paneling.
For example in the photo below, a dark wall color contrasts nicely with the white wainscoting installation.
Art Deco Inspired Wainscoting
While many homeowners opt for white, other colors can be just as striking, if not more so in the right circumstances. In an art deco-inspired space, install wainscoting with raised geometric molding patterns on the wall to complement any environment, be it a bathroom or unfinished basement. As you can see, any color goes, from black to blue.
Faded Rustic Chic Paneling on the Wall and Ceiling
In some instances, you can match the ceiling with the wainscoting to tie the whole room together and build a cohesive appearance throughout. This works particularly well for looks specific to a certain design aesthetic, such as a mix of rustic and chic wooden elements.
Mahogany Wood Wainscoting
If, like Ron Burgundy, you’re the type to have a library filled with many leather-bound books, then consider adding to the sense of sophistication with mahogany wood wainscoting.
Use curves instead of right-angles to really drive home the look and feel you want.
Nursery Room Wainscoting with Wallpaper Print
Some people might think that a room can either have wallpaper or wainscoting, but not both. This couldn’t be further from the truth. In any room that needs a little extra pizzazz on the wall, craft rectangular shapes with picture frame molding and install wallpaper within the frames. While this idea goes for nurseries, it can bring life to virtually any space.
Regal Powder Room Paneling
Wainscoting is remarkably versatile, as is evidenced by its use in practically any style, including more opulent looks like this one. Shapes, spirals, and other patterns create mystique and intrigue throughout the room, especially in smaller spaces like bathrooms or vanity closets.
Gorgeous White Marble Wainscoting
Clear the way for modern luxury! Few things shout elegance quite like marble. To gift your bathroom (or other space) a little more richness, use marble or quartz wainscoting instead of traditional wood.
You won’t regret it.
Contemporary Coffee Colored Beadboard Paneling
If contemporary is more your speed, don’t feel the need to force something extravagant. Instead, use simple, traditional, vertical lines with a bit of beige or coffee color to elevate this classic beadboard look.
Wainscoting with Backsplash
Another misconception about wall paneling comes in the form of mixed materials use (again!). Here, we can see that wainscoting and backsplash can be utilized in the same space without one overpowering the other. On the contrary, they complement each another perfectly.
French Colonial Wainscoting with Picture Frame Molding
Take a page out of the French colonial handbook and bring a feeling of elevated and classic elegance to any entryway, dining room, or parlor with soft white or charcoal color wainscoting with simple rectangles in relief. I love the use of wallpaper above the chair rail.
Urban Industrial Opulence
To bring out the fullest sense of your personality and style, allow the color, furniture, and materials in your space to speak for themselves.
Give your walls a low seated wainscoting with dark paint and let the walls and leather and leopard print do the real talking.
Lumber Cabin Walls
This is my favorite on the whole list! Take wooden lumber from the nearby forest and turn it into the uppermost bar of your arboretum-inspired bathroom space. Trees aren’t just for outside anymore, they can be the chair rail!
Comfy Traditional Wooden Paneling
Don’t overthink it. With vertical wood paneling, you can infuse an otherwise dull space with a lot of life, without a lot of effort.
Classy Gloss Finish Wainscotting
The same shapes and patterns can be utilized over and over again with new and surprising results. Here, take a simple rectangular motif and apply a glossy finish to make the wood pop and shine.
Reclaimed Board Wall Paneling
You just have to know that I love this photo. What appears complex on the surface is actually nothing more than multiple styles of unfinished reclaimed board laid side-by-side.
It’s rustic and fun from start to finish.
Mountain Lodge Wainscoting
Here, we can see the use of deep brown wood color reminiscent of dark chocolate lining the entryway. You don’t need anything more than this to recall the mountains and the forests in a cabin or lodge atmosphere.
Mirrored Board and Batten Reliefs
Sometimes, one shape just isn’t enough. When that’s the case, utilize two or more geometric figures — something simple like a square or rectangle — beside and atop one another. It’s classic and traditional and elegant all at once, whether in white, black, or another color altogether. You can use this board and batten style to enhance your hallways, entryway, or dining space.
Geometric Stone Pattern Paneling
To really strike a bold impression on your walls, use a stone-like material as the wainscoting base and have a geometric pattern scroll top-to-bottom and side-to-side like beautifully crafted waves.
Traditional Vertical Panels
If simplicity is your thing, consider straightforward vertically oriented dark cutout panels in your wainscoting. And if you want to jazz it up a little bit, go with a bright pop of wall color like teal.
Colonial Relief Wainscoting Shadow Boxes
The colonial facade typically composes itself of primary elements like brick or wood. You can add to these shadow boxes into your interior design by adding components such as plain picture frame molding rectangles in relief.
Alternating Shapes Pattern
Though these may appear similar to some we’ve shown you above, the patterns here holds a unique distinction. The board and batten rectangles vary in size around the wall, creating a more distinctive (and modern) composition.
Vertical Pinstripe Beadboard Wainscoting
Stripes function as a mark of simplicity and authenticity in fashion, and the same holds true in interior design.
Use these wainscoting panels on your walls of your bathroom or living room to strike consistent visual notes without a lot of work.
Full Wall Board and Batten Wainscoting
I know I keep saying this (sorry not sorry), but this one is another of my absolute, all-time favorites. These blue cubes in this full wall board and batten wainscoting are set in relief throughout the entire wall, making it less wainscoting and more of a wallpaper that’s come to life. How great is that?! Notice how the artwork contrasts, enhancing the interior design.
Solid Black Wainscoting
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. Sometimes black is the most striking color you can use in interior design. Give your wainscoting the LBD treatment. It never fails to impress.
Elegant Colonial Dining Room
At first blush, this dining room might appear like the earlier colonial ideas, but this one has an intricate design hiding in the corner, as well as a “rope” line along the top of the wainscoting in this somewhat pastoral inspired idea.
Dining rooms are usually the most popular rooms in the home to use wainscoting.
Traditional Wainscoting with Paint Coat or Wallpaper
Take a simple, traditional wainscoting and give it a coat of paint it completely changes the feel of the interior design. In one instance below, we’ve used a hunter or forest green on the wall to give it a feeling of deep, rich elegance and sophistication, as well as a very modern sensibility. In the other case, black paint does the trick all on its own. Add wallpaper above the panels to give the room an even more dramatic feel.
Multidimensional Tile Siding
Ground control to Major Tom… Your bathroom wainscoting is calling. This wall design is worthy of rock stars and anybody that wants to live like one. If you use this wainscoting, please invite me over ASAP. Because it’s incredible, and so are you.
Ski Chalet Wood Paneling
Long wooden horizontal boards extend along the wall from one side of the living room to the other, creating a clean lodge look in any space that calls for it.
Rustic Distressed Wall Panels
Take traditional wainscoting, give it an eggshell or beige coat of paint, then distress the bevel. This is all it takes to make a contemporary room uniquely your own.
Wall decor: 44 photo-ideas of unusual wall decor on a note
Some young ladies confuse wall decor in the interior with her husband, believing that it should be chosen once and for all. Not at all: there are a thousand legal ways to change the picture before your eyes without getting involved in repairs. For starters - 44 ideas from Russian and foreign projects.
aamodt / plumb architects
1. Framed Carpet
Don't laugh, one of the most original wall decoration ideas is a carpet. Provided that it is framed and behind glass. It looks solid, museum and hypoallergenic.

Good question: Is it shameful or fashionable to hang a carpet on the wall?
ZykinaProject
2.
Framed wallpaper
Some wallpapers cost so much that it's cheaper to put money on the wall. Another thing is that they can be used exclusively as a decoration - for example, as a large picture in a spectacular baguette. Then it makes sense to hunt for sale remnants of wallpaper. You won't need more roll anyway.

3. Wallpaper-coloring
With them you will have fun not only in the process of gluing! For the boy's room in this Moscow project, the owners chose a coloring wallpaper with a jungle-themed pattern. Presumably, the baby should have enough of them for three years.
LineBox Studio
4. Rock painting
Another coloring idea can be borrowed from this Canadian project. The designers staged a festival of cave painting on wet concrete plaster, and then covered it with a special composition so that the walls could be washed without harming the interior and psyche.
Now the children, squealing with delight, paint artiodactyls with crayons.
What is especially nice - the drawing is simple, primitive people did it, which means we can do it too.
Lucia Tacla
5. Drawing on the wall
No coloring book compares to being able to paint whatever you want on the wall. At least for a decent person. The drawing can smoothly flow into a three-dimensional installation. An example is the wall decor in the photo.

Stencil painting
At school they thought that fine art comes from the word bullying? In fact, painting a wall on a stencil does not require special skills, only accuracy. In the photo above - a branch of flowering wisteria, at the link below - a master class from designer Zhanna Makaeva.

8. Decals
Vinyl decals are one of the quickest solutions for interior transformation (and stain removal). And this decor does not care about humidity: a photo with birds is from a St. Petersburg project, stickers with birds adorn both the main and guest bathrooms there.
Denis Furmanov
9. Draw with scotch tape
Colored scotch tape can serve as a decor for the walls, if pasted without creases according to a pre-planned plan.
This is exactly what designer Denis Furmanov did with a wall in a rented Zhulebinsky “three-ruble note” (pictured). This trick is trickier than it looks. The table, located against the wall, emphasized the tightness of the room. Therefore, the designer decided to divert attention from the table with active graphics on the wall. And the lines, by the way, are not just lines, but a hint of wallpaper from the Viceroy Santa Monica hotel by Kelly Wearstler.
Tip: doesn't like scotch tape on the wall - these stripes can also be drawn with paint using masking tape as a stencil.
Inna Velichko
10. Drawing around the thing
Yes, such a floor lamp cannot be moved. But it has no other disadvantages: any design, any shape and any color are available at a minimum cost. This optical illusion in the room of the designer's daughter Inna Velichko is only partly an illusion: the lamp is absolutely working.
Architectural workshop za bor
11.
Cable figures
A few meters of black cable, a white wall - this is how an unusual decor is born. The bunny and the giraffe are an allusion to the images of the owners of the apartment, the architect Pyotr Zaitsev and his wife Anastasia Solomatina. Thus, they signed who sleeps where (by the way, the hare is Peter). If you do not have extra cable left, you can use colored cords from hardware stores. True, you have to glue them to keep their shape.
Erika Bierman Photography
12. Dividing strip
On the one hand, white walls are fashionable. On the other hand, it's too easy. Try adding a bright colored strip around the perimeter of the wall: by narrowing and expanding it, you can create various optical effects.
ANNAmorphs.
Another example: the yellow stripe in the gap of a narrow white corridor in itself looks quite impressive. But it has another function - the portal seems to cut the space into two separate rooms, which is why the corridor no longer seems like an endless tunnel.
See how this strip goes across the floor and bench. In fact, everything is even cooler: an unusual effect is achieved through a well-thought-out optical illusion - see the next photo.
Hendricks Churchill
13. Bright baseboards and skirting boards
An extremely simple, but very effective technique is to paint the slopes and skirting boards (including ceiling boards) in a contrasting bright color. In this way, you can still maintain the color of furniture or other decor.

14. Two-tone slope
Another interesting trick is to paint the window sill in two colors, one of which is the color of the wall. In addition to the decorative effect, it is also an opportunity to “adjust” the width of the slope.
Greta Wolf
15.
Slope with finishing
It is enough to cover wide slopes with cheerful wallpaper and divert attention from the too active or, conversely, neutral color of the walls. Slopes can also be ennobled with paintings and tiles.

16. Slate wall
Endless change of images, creative freedom and a diary included - this is not a new gadget, but a wall painted with slate paint.
Alison Damonte Design
17. Quotes within
To make the inscription look more solid, you can print the quote on paper in a fashionable sans-serif font and place it in a laconic frame. The frame has a magical property: to give additional significance to any word or object.
18. Letters for inspiration
A good font can decorate a wall better than a picture. Sticker letters are sold in stores, but they can also be cut on a plotter in any advertising workshop.
The most difficult thing is to choose a phrase that will not start to annoy before you finish the repair.
Nikolay Nikolaev/Design Studio N-Kub
19. Inscriptions on the stencil
You can go the other way - cut out the stencil from paper and paint over the walls according to the stencil. This is exactly what they did in this project, decorating the room for the eldest son with motivating inscriptions. You can choose your own, in the spirit: “if you don’t study, you will go to the janitors.”
Mary Cook
Amy Lau Design
20. Volumetric applications from paper
This fun is called paper plastic. Flowers, sheets, butterflies, spirals, fans and masks are cut out of thick paper, bent as needed with a pencil, a stationery knife and scissors, and glued to the wall if desired. This, of course, is a romantic decor, more suitable for a bedroom or boudoir, but away from conventions.
The main thing is to understand how to vacuum it.
Siobhan Loates Interiors
21. Mirror on mirror
You can soften the coldness of a large mirror and protect it from the foreheads of inattentive guests by hanging another mirror in a beautiful decorative frame over the canvas.

Mirrors in the interior: how not to overdo it?
Jessica Helgerson Interior Design
22. Shards
You can assemble a panel from small pieces of a geometric mirror (hint: you can cut the mirror into pieces in any glass workshop). As an option - buy round, oval, square and rectangular small mirrors and make a composition out of them.
SPACE FOR LIFE
23. Mirrors and shutters
By combining mirrors and wooden panels, you can decorate the entire wall. In this project, the designer used ordinary louvered doors from a building hypermarket.
This technique brought down the pathos of large mirror surfaces, but added volume to a small space.
24. Window imitation as wall decor
Even an empty window frame or shutters can create the effect of an additional window, which is useful for small rooms and blank walls. The effect will be twice as strong if you glaze the “window” with a mirror. At the same time, you can look into it.
The background for this decor does not play a special role. For example, at first they wanted to hang a mirror from the Moscow project in the photo on the brickwork in the living room, but they changed their minds and sent it to the bedroom.

Giclee panel
The little thing above the sofa in the photo is called a giclee panel — a poster with the author's refinement with a brush. It all started from there. that the decorators stumbled upon a silk scarf by Olga Nikich. But along the edges it had a pattern that did not fit into the interior, so the designers bought a file with a scarf pattern from the author, printed it on canvas, and then Olga manually painted the triangles with mother-of-pearl.
Ekaterina Lieberman
27. Three-part panels
This ethnic wall decor in the photo is actually beehive covers bought on the market in Serbia. But paintings are often hung using this technology: one image is divided into several fragments in independent frames. No one brings Cameroonian hats from Cameroon anymore, they are produced all over the world and sold in interior stores. They are hung on the walls one by one or in a company, choosing by color and size.
Riegler Photography
29.
Blank Frames
A beautiful baguette is good on its own, and painted in rich color is even better. Strict geometry sets the rhythm, and if they ask where the photo is taken, answer mysteriously: “the inner emptiness conveys a philosophical understatement to the interior.”
Jordi Folch
If the frames "run into" the painted part of the wall and spoil the purity of the color, feel free to paint directly on the frame. What do you have to lose something with such a philosophical understatement.
The empty frame can also perform solo.
Rikki Snyder
30. Plywood Panels
Cutting clouds out of plywood, painting or varnishing it while maintaining the natural texture of the wood is not difficult at all. Applications can be mounted on the wall, but more often they are mounted on small racks - so that the decor slightly moves away from the wall. This makes the drawing look bigger.
Dmytro Aranchii Architects
It can also be a complex, well-thought-out wall decor, a leitmotif stretching through the whole apartment - like the branches of a miracle tree in the project of a Kyiv architect.
2B.GROUP
Idea: plywood figures for the nursery can be covered with fabric.
Olga Shangina | Photography
31. Cork houses
This appliqué is carved from cork wood according to the designer's sketch. In fact, the fate of a photo album is destined for her, but until the owner of the room has accumulated enough personal history, cartoon characters live in the windows of the houses.
Stashchuk Tatiana
32. Three-dimensional decor made of laths
Geometric pattern and rhythm organize any space. An alternative to wallpaper with the “correct” pattern and color is its own geometric pattern of narrow wooden slats.
Paint them the same color as the wall and you have an exclusive wallpaper with a 3D effect.
3D Group
The beauty of slats is that they, even being the same color as the wall, make it three-dimensional. Now imagine that these are white slats on a dark background, or vice versa - dark on a light one!
The New Design Project
33. Paintings in one color
As you know, the Black Square has a deep philosophical meaning. But even if there is less sense in the green square, it will be enough to revive an empty wall. Canvas is optional, the frame can be covered with fabric, pasted over with colored cardboard, vinyl film, etc.
Mclean & Tircuit Designs
34. Unusual gallery
The photos themselves can hardly be called unusual decor. But the original way of attaching them to the wall is easy. For example, mounting on a painted board by surprise.

look like a photo exhibition. Pictures suspended from the rail can be moved back and forth. Great option for a long corridor.
Enjoy Home Studio
Another unusual way to decorate a wall is to use a floor standing photo. A strong decorative effect is achieved due to the scale of the canvas.
Behind the architectural "decoy" in the center of the hall in the photo, like behind a screen, the door of another bathroom was hidden. By the way, the designers of the Enjoy Home studio found this picture in a photo bank.
SUSANNE KAISER Innenarchitektur Berlin
Well, no one canceled the photo wallpaper either.
Gaile Guevara
35. Three-dimensional hanging
Another option for non-standard photo hanging is a rhythmic composition of cords and fasteners.
A similar installation can be done by replacing the frames with stationery clips.
Prokhorova Natalia "Arahis design"
36. Clock without case
The very case when the decor is absolutely functional. The main thing is not to confuse the numbers (although this is an idea!).
In this Novosibirsk apartment where a young couple lives, a clock mechanism adorns the wall of an office without any numbers at all. His role is rather edifying. As they say in articles about the benefits of marriage: the clock is ticking.
Zouk Architects
37. Shadow theater
Chiaroscuro is a great tool for quick interior design. Especially in terms of costs. To get an unusual light pattern, you can purchase a special lamp - with a "leaky" frame. The light, falling through artistically carved holes, casts elaborate shadows on the surface.
Most often, this is either a repeating pattern, or associations on a forest theme. Ideal - when the walls and ceiling are of the same color, then the pattern comes out the same.

Directional light lamps turned in different directions also create an interesting decorative effect. In addition, this technique adds volume to the room.

39. Decorate the wall with furniture
It can be just a small shelf with a spectacular outline. And if part of the wall is occupied by a highly respected wardrobe, rack or sideboard, you can decorate it too by pasting the insides with pretty wallpaper. And the wall will immediately become brighter.

42. Splashes, drops and streaks
Who said that a picture on a wall should be objective? Abstract flows and splashes look no worse (and certainly brighter) than Christmas trees and birds. However, such painting has one important property - it is very expressive. With such decor, not everyone will relax.
Rebel Walls
Even in monochrome, this pattern will look too bright, so do not decorate more than one wall with streaks.

Much calmer in this sense is textured granular plaster, painted in a dark deep color. Against this background, shelving and cabinets without a back wall look good.

43. Ceramic panel
The photo is not a painting, but a ceramic decorative panel “Cosmos” (chamotte, enamel, glaze, firing) by Moscow artist Vladimir Kovalev. In essence, it is a giant handmade tile ceiling-high; designers built it into a shallow niche.
