When it comes to adding character and charm to room, wainscoting is a classic, go-to way to accomplish both. It can be used in any room in the home, but the most popular is bathroom wainscoting. It’s easy to install, budget-friendly, and looks great with any decorating style.
Wainscoting comes in a variety of styles, including beadboard, panels, and shiplap. Each style creates a different look that can also be transformed by the decor around it. Keeping wainscoting white is the most popular option, but you can also paint or stain it to customize it further. You can really get creative with it. The most popular choice is to paint a bold color or install wallpaper on the walls and then tone it down with wainscoting on the lower half of the wall.
Here are 10 examples of bathroom wainscoting to inspire you and give you some great ideas on how to use it in your home.
