The bathroom is one of the most heavily utilized parts of
most homes. It’s the first place we go to as soon as we wake up and is the last
place we go to before we sleep. Bathrooms are the perfect place to detach one’s
self from the outside world to relax, clear the head and get ready for the day
ahead. That is why bathrooms are also known as restrooms.
So because most of us spend an enormous amount of time in
the bathroom, we must make it a point to keep our bathrooms as clean and as
stylish as possible. A good way of achieving this look is by installing
beadboard panels on the bathroom walls.
Beadboard wainscoting will provide a rustic and
cottage-style appeal which is perfect if you want to create a relaxing mood for
your bathroom. Read on to learn more about using beadboard paneling in the
bathroom.
Advantages
of Beadboard Wainscoting in the Bathroom
Wainscoting is a type of wood paneling that became popular
in the late nineteenth century to enhance the look and appeal of homes. This
style of paneling is done by installing panels vertically in the bottom half of
the walls. This technique was primarily intended to protect the walls from
being scratched and damaged by chairs or other pieces of furniture.
Beadboard wainscoting at that time was also helpful when it
comes to improving the insulation of a house. Today, beadboard paneling has
become a trend in the decoration of bathrooms which also serves as a way of
covering up mold and mildew stains or blotches because of moisture.
Moreover, wainscoting can be a more practical choice instead
of using tiles for bathrooms. It will not only cost lesser than high quality
tiles but it will also give your bathroom a more unique design. Another benefit
of beadboard wainscoting is that it helps in accentuating the walls. By
painting or staining the thin vertical lines in these panels the walls become
more attractive and striking.
Decoration
Tips in Beadboard Paneling Bathrooms
Decorative wooden molding is common for cottage style
houses. The molding is positioned on the top of the panels or panels at the
chair rail level. The usual colors of paint used for these panels are shades of
white or cream to give off a pristine and inviting appeal. However, you can
also opt for livelier or even dark colors. Just makes sure that the color you
pick goes well with the other elements of your bathroom’s design.
You can also paint the wooden panels to make them look like
they were made of a different material. You can go for a rich wood feel by
using a thin coat of varnish or use light wood staining. Pre-finished beadboard
sheets are also available for people who don’t have a big budget. You can make
these shine by applying gloss paint to the panels.
Installation
of Tongue-and-Groove Paneling System
Aside from the pre-finished beadboard sheets, another option
for beadboard paneling is the tongue-and-groove paneling system. It is
important to note however, that using this will require more time and effort.
Additionally, using beadboard sheets are more expensive. The
sheets will have to be cut to size and installed according to the desirable
height. Bathroom vanities will have to be removed prior to installation and
returned once the project is done. If you know you have the capacity to do this
on your own, you could turn this into one of your home improvement projects for
the weekend. Otherwise, it would be best to hire the services of a
professional.
