Wainscoting is a type of wall panel that is both functional and decorative. The definition ‘to wainscot’ is to line a wall with wood, which was the original material used for wainscoting, although it is now available in other materials. Wainscoting is typically found on the lower portion of an interior wall and is often used in stairways both to protect the wall and to give the impression of spaciousness.

The term wainscoting was derived from a type of wooden boards fashioned as wall covering out of older, slowly grown, knot-free oak trees. These oak trees were cultivated in a manner that would produce specific, desirable results.

The application of wainscoting was introduced in the 18th century, when the technique was used to protect the walls and provide additional insulation. It also helped to decrease rising dampness that could occur in some types of walls. It is now used primarily for decorative purposes to make a space look more appealing.

Faux wainscoting is a DIY technique that creates the illusion of authentic panels through the careful application of moulding and paint. Chair rail and box moulding are commonly used for this purpose, although it is possible to execute a similar treatment simply through the use of paint that is either separated by a single rail or a difference in colours or textures.
