What Is Wainscoting?
Wainscoting, or simply wainscot, refers to a treatment of wooden moulding and panels along the length of a wall. As is common in home design, this lining was originally intended for functionality: The extra interior layer was meant to help insulate a room and offer a durability that plaster walls did not. It was only later that homeowners and designers alike fell in love with wainscoting as a decorative element, as in this New York farmhouse.

Types of Wainscoting Panels
Pronounced waynescoating (but also sometimes waynescotting or wayneskitting), there are many types of wainscoting, from beadboard (previous slide) to board and batten (pictured) to raised panel (next slide), and beyond. It can be painted or left as is for a rustic feel.

Wainscoting Height
There is no rule regarding the proper height for wainscoting. However, it can be helpful to think in thirds: Shorter wainscoting is usually applied to the bottom third of a wall, or chair-height, while taller wainscoting stretches up to the two-third point, leaving the top third of the wall bare, as in this Tennessee dining room.

Wainscoting in Bathrooms
While it can be incorporated anywhere in the home, wainscoting is often found in dining rooms and bathrooms. Let the layout of the space inform both the height of your wainscoting and the material used. For example, this converted schoolhouse's bathroom boasts solid wood paneling that just surpasses the sink.

Dining Room Wainscoting Idea
Wainscoting is also common in dining rooms, as in this one, where it imparts an old-fashioned feel. A collection of antique mirrors evens out the upper portion of the wall.

Board and Batten Wainscoting
Rather than stop halfway up the wall, board and batten wainscoting stretches up to the ceiling made of cedar fence boards, bringing depth as well as height to the Southern Georgia space.

Wainscoting in New Builds
This Mississippi farmhouse was a new build, but you'd never know it thanks to the infusion of interesting details such as the foyer's wainscot, a salvaged front door, and heart-pine floors extracted from an old industrial building.

Beadboard Wainscoting
Never mind the monochromatic scheme of white walls with white tile floors: This bathroom packs a punch. Beadboard wainscoting adds texture, and a vibrant green tub and vintage floral paintings lend color.

Wainscoting Ledge
Make the decorative paneling do double duty. The wainscoting in this California entryway is bordered by a wide chair rail specifically designed to hold artwork.

Colorful Wainscoting
There's no shortage of color in this converted schoolhouse. Board and batten paneling painted in pastel hues provides a poppy contrast to pastel floral wallpaper.

Wainscoting in Living Room
The rustic panels in this cabin's den recall exterior siding and echo the 17-foot-high ceiling.

Shiplap Wainscoting for Bedrooms
Itching to install shiplap but don't want to commit to the whole wall? Stop halfway up! We love the idea of shiplap-style wainscoting, as seen in this girl's bedroom inside a Wisconsin farmhouse.

Tile Wainscoting
By definition, wainscoting is wood. However, the idea has since expanded to include other types of materials. Today, you can find "faux wainscoting" made up of plywood, plastic, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and more. Tile wainscoting, for example, is exactly what it sounds like: wainscoting made of tile, often found in bathrooms like this one.

Wainscot Window Seat
Wainscoting can conjure up character in even the smallest spots, such as in Mike Wolfe of American Pickers' cozy window seat.

Extra-tall beadboard—painted in Benjamin Moore's Mill Springs Blue—covers the walls of this New Hampshire house, accenting the mostly neutrals around it.
