As a trim carpenter, I have been asked to do many different types of trim work in the homes I have worked in over the years. One of the best transformations I have been able to give a room has been wainscoting. Wainscoting can add an element to a room that gives it character and distinction. It can be very ornate or very simple. Many times when I bring it up to a client, they think that it will be too expensive of an option to add to a project. Wainscoting, however, does not need to be complicated or difficult to look great.
