Paneling generally reminds people of two things: the cheap covering that lined the walls of their dad's den when they were young, or the overbearing walls of a hunting lodge, complete with mounted moose head.
In today's episode of DIY's Creative Wall Coverings workshop, host Cynthia Tinsley adds a new twist to the paneling legacy: tasteful and stylish paneling. Our host reveals that covering an entire wall doesn't have to make a room dark -- and she explains how to apply paneling in varying amounts as a beautiful accent. She also brings to light why beadboard is considered wainscoting, but wainscoting doesn't necessarily have to be beadboard. Viewers will also learn a quick and beautiful fix to brighten a room mired in that old dark paneling, as well as what accents can make paneling pop.
