In a tour, designer Matt McKay showcased a unique wainscoting style that incorporates wallpaper on the lower paneling, which is enhanced with a contrasting trim. Designer Linda Hayslett emphasized this trend as a versatile approach that works in various rooms and elevates the overall appearance by making spaces feel taller. This design trick is especially advantageous in smaller areas, but experts advise avoiding it in rooms with existing paneling. Choosing a neutral base with vibrant trim can maximize the visual impact of the design.
McKay's innovative approach to integrating wallpaper in wainscoting creates a dynamic visual effect by pairing patterned wallpaper with contrasting painted trim.
Hayslett describes this look as 'putting your room in heels,' providing an elevation that makes spaces appear taller and more polished.
The wallpapered wainscoting style is versatile, adaptable to various rooms, and particularly effective in tricking the eye to create an impression of height.
Hayslett advises against this trend in spaces already featuring paneling but encourages using a neutral base for wallpaper and vivid trim colors.
