Paneling is a great way to enhance the look of any room or hallway. There are several different types of material that can be used. Here are some inspiring ideas. Most of them are wood variations, other materials like the ones described here can also be used depending on your preferences. Letting your imagination run wild when it comes to these types of projects can be an amazing way to express your own style.
Paneling can range in height from 36 inches from the floor to 48 inches from the floor, basically depending on the height of the ceiling. You don’t want to go too high, leave most of the rock sheet above the top of the paneling. Covering a little more than a third of your wall from the bottom to the top usually gives you the perfect amount for the supporting structure look.
A simple piece of chair rail just isn’t enough to give the effect. Adding a 6- or 8-inch skirting board and changing the paint color between the two to a darker color is relatively inexpensive, but offers a very drastic improvement. Depending on your choice of paint color, this can take on a wide variety of visual appeal.
While there are a few to choose from, a preferred luxury inspired siding is heavier style base boards 8 inches tall and ½ plywood for the wall between the bottom piece and the top piece. Staining the whole wood will definitely raise the #luxury level by around 10 points, incorporating judging panels that will put the icing on the cake.
The style we like to call #S southern Living is where the base boards are an 8-inch square top base and a 4-inch chair top rail, but between the two strips of wood spaced 12 to 16 inches vertically. really brings out the country look. Many of the southern house exterior styles have this type of woodwork, hence the name. This type also looks really great with adjoining rooms incorporating some boat lap type walls!
Depending on your setup, tin paneling is also popular with a wide variety of styles to choose from, you’re sure to find one to suit your unique #style and #decoration! Paired with a country-style barn, log cabin, or any rustic-style furnishings, you are sure to enjoy your comfort!
We hope that some of these inspiring siding ideas have helped you on your quest to beautify your home.
