    Tongue & Groove Wainscot Half Wall Panelling

    Wainscot cladding, traditionally used to cover the lower part of an interior wall, can be used on walls or ceilings, for boxing in pipework, or even as a splashback in kitchens. To complete the look, finish your slatted wall panels with a paint, stain or varnish. To add a little extra design interest, decorate the top half of your wall with a contemporary wallpaper or paint it in a contrasting shade. This style works particularly well as hallway panelling to help prevent scuffs from boots and bags. Consider taking your panelling up the staircase too for a lovely, statement look.

    For a sleek finishing touch, complete your wall with a decorative moulding or dado rail.
