Decided to decorate the entry hallway walls with panel moudling and I think the result came out pretty good. Wasn't sure if i will be able to do it but this forum has been very helpful to ask questions every time i got stuck.
I think it came out very good and has truly transformed the space.
Hopefully my effort inspire other people to take up similar projects as well.

- Took the measurements of the walls and draw a rough plan on paper.
- Marked out the outlines on the walls to get an idea on how it looks. Really recommend Stanley 1200mm High Impact ABS Resin Spirit Level - Bunnings Australia.
- Locate the studs and use a tape or similar to mark out the location.
- Cut the pine mould to size. Pine mould used is Porta 30x12mm 2.4m Panel Mould Clear Pine - Bunnings Australia
- I used the craftright mitre box to cut the pine Craftright Mitre Box And Saw Set - Bunnings Australia
- Stick the mould on the wall along the pencil lining. I used selley fast grab liquid and Nailed them into the studs using a Ryobi Brad nailer. The vertical panels I only used glue as they did not line up with the studs. Fill the holes with wood filler.
- I ended up with joints between the moulds so used Timbermate wood filler. A tip would be to use this as little as possible. I was quite generous initially and it became a time consuming task to sand it all down.
- For the chair rail install would really recommend using a laser level to get your line. i used 66 x 11mm 5.4m Moulding White Pine FJ Primed Colonial SA1 - Bunnings Australia.
- Double check the chair rail height from the top of skirting is consistent all the way through. use the stanley spirit level as it also has a ruler. This is to make sure you get it a perfect horizontal on the chair rail.
- Taped around the pine to prime it. Remove the tape when the primer is dry.
Afternoon @SaadMalik
From a very plain hall to something that has a lot of class. You really have lifted that space out of the dolldrums. Even to the point of me wondering how I could incorporate the trim into my own short hallway
Nice work and well worth it.
Dave
Thanks for your kind words Dave. I hope it encourages you try something exciting for your hallway.
Hi @SaadMalik
Thank you very much for sharing the details of your wainscotting project. It looks very modern and stylish. I'm in total agreement with Dave-1 and think that this would be a worthwhile addition even in a short hallway.
Again, thanks for sharing such a wonderful project.

Hi @SaadMalik can you tell what is size of box? It looks stunning
Hi @Asad - thank you for the compliment.
The boxes are about 900mm wide by about 550mm deep inner dimensions. However they are not the same on each wall, i had to play around with the width to make all the boxes uniform in size.
looks pretty 😍
just started mine. Looks good and its really hard to keep everything aligned 😄will caulk and paint now.
You have done a very professional job and inspired me give it go. When I start the project I will post some before and after photos.
