Kitchen Decorating Ideas Using Wainscoat on Walls | Home Guides

Installing wooden panels or wooden boards on the bottom third of a wall adds texture and visual interest to a room.

Color Variations A cheerful way to decorate and combine colors in your kitchen is to paint wainscoting a different color from the rest of your walls. You might paint your wainscoting a slightly darker shade than your upper walls to create depth and creativity in the space. For example, you might paint the wainscot ...
