“Wood on the Wall”

Paneling Types

Wainscoting

Wainscoting is any style of wood paneling that is on the lower one-half to one-third of a wall, usually around the entire room perimeter. Wainscoting protects the wall from damage, especially in areas prone to impact, such as dining rooms or children's rooms.

Bead-Board

Bead-board is a style of wood paneling characterized by long, continuous vertical grooves and raised beads spaced every inch or two.

Shiplap

Shiplap panels are long, horizontal boards that overlap each other along the long edges. Shiplap gives dining, rooms, bedrooms, halls, or living areas a rustic, charming look. Shiplap can also be used on accent walls for a farmhouse or traditional look.

Board and Batten

Board and batten is a style of wood paneling noteworthy for its regular pattern vertical molding boards called battens. The battens serve to cover up the joints between the boards. Additional battens are placed between the joints merely for aesthetics. The result both rustic and chic, with its vertical and horizontal lines creating depth and casting fantastic shadows

Raised Panels

Raised panels have a series of rectangles or squares that run in a line, separated 4 to 8 inches by vertical molding. Deep V-shaped bevels form raised wood panels, with horizontal rails at the top and the bottom. Raised panel is a showy look; it's often found in expensive older homes. Due to the deep bevels, raised panels create deep shadows for an eye-catching look.
