Wainscot wall panelling is a decorative feature that has been used in interior design for centuries. It involves covering the lower portion of a wall with wooden panelling, typically up to about one-third or one-half of the wall's height. With our cut-to-size wainscot panelling kits all you need to do is measure your wall, order and install, we do all the calculations and cutting for you! Read More
The term "wainscot" is derived from the German words "wand" (wall) and "schotten" (to board or line with wood). Historically, wainscoting was used as a practical solution to insulate and protect the lower part of walls from moisture, damage from furniture, and general wear and tear.
Beyond its functional and aesthetic purposes, wainscot panelling can also serve as a design element to create visual interest and define different spaces within a room. For example, it can be used to separate an entryway from a living area or to create the illusion of separate zones within an open-concept layout.
Wainscot panelling is a classic and versatile design feature that can add warmth, texture, and visual interest to any room in a home or commercial space.

so pleased with how our hallway is coming along 🥰 here is a little run down of what we’ve done
🎨 we painted the walls, skirting & door frames in slipper satin (paint matched at b&q) - I think I also want to do the ceilings as they need a refresh anyway
🪚 we panelled the wall longest wall which I loved doing, the most difficult part was going around the plug sockets - I ordered from cutmy.uk which was made to measure & absolutely brilliant
🎨 the panelling is painted in elephant’s breath (also paint matched at b&q)
🪞& then we added the mirrors
💡changed the light fitting
🖤 painted the little cabinet in pitch black - a bit risky but so pleased with how it came out
🪑added a bench and cushions
🌿 we bought a new (big) plant baby, bird of paradise & a large pot for the corner
🧥and some gorgey coat hooks for under the stairs made by ardovie_wood who we found on etsyuk
We’re going to look for some baskets to go under the bench for shoes, and I want to get a new lamp too! And the current plan is the change the carpet to hard flooring next year.

Thank you to Nicola, one of our customers who has transformed her living room with our custom-height shaker panelling kit, perfectly fitted to her wall dimensions and painted in this gorgeous blush pink! 🌸 The addition of a picture shelf adds both style and function for displaying décor.
A busy weekend. Decorating has commenced. Trying to turn this #newbuild into a home. 😊👏 #newbuildhome#housetohome#redrowludlow

Still in need of another coat of paint but a sneak peak of the panelling in our bedroom with our new plug sockets too! Seriously relieved I measured it right for where those would need to be within the panels 🙌🏽 Loving this teal colour too 🤩

Wainscot Wall Panelling with a Dado Rail
A dado rail adds a traditional touch to your half-height panelling and makes the perfect wainscot cap. A wainscot cap gives the panelling a more traditional, classic look than shaker wall panelling on its own.
Many of our customers add a wainscot cap to their hallway panelling and paint the top half of the wall a complementary neutral colour. If you're planning on panelling your bathroom or other high-humidity areas we recommend using our Custom Height Bathroom Wall Panelling with a Dado Rail which includes moisture-resistant MDF.

I didn’t know acrylic table tops etc existed. I ordered two and at first I thought they were all scratched but turns out it was the plastic cling sheet! I was really delighted by how they looked.

A cover for an old well
The perspex is to be used as a well cover, (not outdoors). It fit perfectly and is wonderfully clear.
One suggestion is to possibly offer clear window film, (I use static cling) to protect from damage. It could be cut to size when ordering.
