Rooms are made up of mostly walls, which is a vivid sign that walls should be taken seriously. Also, everyone has walls in their homes/offices/shops which means that these same walls can be taken for granted and left there to look basic. While basic-looking walls will not harm anyone, doing something decorative to them will not only make you love and enjoy your space more but also give you “unique” home bragging rights.

There are several ways to spruce up walls including painting, putting up a gallery wall, painting murals, putting up wallpaper, adding wall baskets and bookshelves, and of course wainscoting (wall paneling).

Wall Paneling…

Wall paneling has been around for hundreds of years and has evolved into a contemporary, affordable and popular wall décor trend that can be used to add interest to almost any space. Wall paneling can also be used as a distraction from basic walls while adding practical elements to your space, such as providing additional insulation or decorative shelving.
