How Do You Choose Paint Colors For Wainscot Bedrooms?
Wainscoting is paneling that covers the lower parts of interior walls. Usually 3 to 4 feet high, it adds traditional charm to a bedroom. The classic color for painted wainscot is white, but you can achieve a variety of looks and even alter the perceived size of the room with different colors. You don’t even need to apply wainscot paneling to get the effect. Install chair rail around the room, and painting the lower wall a different color for a wainscot effect without the cost of real wainscoting. Consider other elements in the bedroom. White wainscoting will work in almost any bedroom, but perhaps you can match its color with a color in the comforter, window treatments or painted furniture. Decide whether to match it to the painted trim. Wainscot is typically painted to match the trim, especially trim that abuts the wainscoting, such as baseboards, windows and door jambs. When painting wainscot a deep color, paint the baseboard, chair rail and trim white or a very light, neutral color.
