Wainscoting can transform a plain wall into a stunning feature of any room, adding style and character.

Bunnings Workshop members have shared wainscoting feature walls in different areas of the home.

Below are some examples for inspiration. Let us know if you need a hand with your own wainscoting project.

Hi, thanks for that

The brick walls have been plastered/screaded as internal walls in Western Australia.

It would be great if there were more how-to videos relating to these types of walls, not just studded walls.

Bunnings are Australia-wide, so they should show how to use materials on different walls as states differ.

 

Cheers

Hi @colleenwatson62,

 

Thanks for the feedback.

 

This particular article is a compilation of our member's projects, so we are not in control of the specifics of these projects. 

 

Unfortunately, it is much easier to create a feature wall like these when they are made of timber as opposed to masonry. For this reason, we've had far more people share projects where their walls are made of timber. 

 

We are consistently working on new topics for our How-To and D.I.Y. articles, and when we see a gap in our information base, we will always do our best to create an informative article for our customers and viewers.

 

I'm not aware of anything currently in the works, but I have passed your feedback on. 

 

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to assist.

 

Jacob
