Wainscoting is one of the most timeless details in interior design. It protects walls, adds architecture and gives rooms a tailored, finished look. Here are the main styles.
Picture-frame wainscoting
Molding applied in rectangular frames below a chair rail. Elegant and versatile, it works in dining rooms, bedrooms and hallways, in both traditional and transitional homes.
Raised-panel wainscoting
The most formal style, with panels that are beveled and raised. It suits classic and estate homes, studies and libraries.
Flat-panel and shaker wainscoting
Flat recessed panels framed by rails and stiles. Clean and modern-traditional, it pairs well with shaker cabinetry.
Board and batten
Vertical battens over a flat surface. Popular in mudrooms, entryways and farmhouse-style spaces.
Stairway wainscoting
Wainscoting that follows the angle of the stairs, including curved stairwalls, requires careful layout so the panels stay proportional all the way up.
