Wainscoting is decorative wood panelling along the lower section of a wall. It can help transform a plain wall into a stunning feature of any home, adding style and character.
Bunnings Workshop members have shared wainscoting feature walls in many different rooms. Get inspiration for your home from our clever and creative community, and let us know if you need a hand with your own wainscoting project.
