Wainscoting in the washroom, which style works for you?

Ever thought about adding wainscoting to your bathroom?

There are so many different styles to choose from. I've assembled a bunch

of photos of small, medium and large bathrooms with different styles

of panelling. I have to admit, I used to not be too crazy about wainscotting.

I felt it was a bit too conservative for my taste and I like the look of tall walls. The

house we bought had wainscoting in the office that was painted in two different

colours, it was UGLY! I was so happy to remove it, I thought it really shrunk

the room. However, I think it had more to do with the paint job and style

of the wainscoting that I did not like.

This two tone blue and white wood panelling is stunning. I

love how elegant it looks with the floral wallpaper.

Here's a great idea: add a ledge or a shelf to the top of your wainscoting. It's

a great way to display your favorite sea shells like in the picture bellow or

to store your bath salts and moisturizers. I also like the idea of displaying

different sized frames with art or photography or your kids drawings in them,

I find it can give it a more eclectic look.

Another idea is to use extra tall panelling like in these bathrooms:

Here's another favorite of mine.

I love the pattern of this red panelling. I think

it adds something special to the look of a small powder room.

Still can't decide which style you like the best? I've got a few more

photos after the jump. Click the "click to see more"!

I really like the look of wainscoting and wallpaper. I find it always

looks polished and elegant.

Please tell me what you think. Do you like wainscoting in the bathroom?
