Wainscoting / Panelling

Wainscot panelling, is a "panel forming the lower part of an interior wall when it is finished differently from the rest of the wall." Wainscoting is a practice from the 16th century. At that time, buildings did not include methods of combating moisture, so wainscoting became a way to hide moisture-related problems. The beauty of the wainscoting became a fad used by wealthy landowners, and continues to this day. If you are considering incorporating wainscoting in a room, there are many wainscot panelling ideas from which you can choose.
