Frequently Asked Questions About Wainscoting

Wainscoting is decorative wall paneling installed on the lower portion of a wall. Wainscoting can add visual interest and enhances interior design with texture, dimension, and a polished architectural finish.

Wainscoting is typically limited to the bottom third or half of a wall and usually includes moulding or chair rail trim at the top to give it a finished look. There are no rules that must be followed, so look at your space and work with any existing features such as windows or electrical outlets. To save time and materials, consider setting the height of your wainscoting to align with the height of the faux panel that you selected.

Barron Designs offers a variety of faux ledgers specifically designed to complement wainscoting panels and create a stunning transition between the wainscoting and the rest of the wall.

As long as the wall is structurally sound, wainscoting can be applied to damaged walls.

Wainscoting is installed using the same process as our faux wall panels. Follow our faux panel interior installation guide or faux panel exterior intallation guide for step-by-step instructions, with the only difference being that the panels are installed part way up the wall rather than covering the full heigh.

Absolutely. Faux panels from Barron Designs are great for exterior wainscoting. Explore exterior design ideas for inspiration.
