Dining room wainscoting is an easy and elegant way to add interest to your home. The wainscoting will help make the ceiling look lower, especially if they’re incredibly tall. Plus, it will also hide any defects you may have on your walls while providing a beautiful texture.
Wainscoting in a dining room comes in a variety of styles. Add a dark color to the wall and put white wainscoting on the bottom half. Install tall wainscoting that reaches almost to the ceiling. Another possibility is to paint the wainscoting a slightly darker color, such as beige and install it on white walls for an elegant look.
