Learn how to install a "dead simple" DIY Wainscoting with this step-by-step video tutorial!

I decided to install this Wainscoting in the room adjacenet to my kitchen with the hope of adding a bit of a "accent" to the room. After considering a few differnt accent wall styles, I decided that a Wainscoting (wood paneling that lines the bottom portion of the room) would work best.

For this project, I started by purchasing 1"x3" and 1"x2" MDF from Lowes. I also needed a few other materials like construction adhesive, paint, etc.

To actually install the wainscoting, I stared by installing the top rail. To do this, I cut the MDF to size and attached it to the wall using construction adhesive and brad nails.

Next, I determined the spacing for my veritcal boards and then cut them to the right height. Once cut, I applied construciton adhesive to the backs of the boards and then attached them to the wall with brad nails.

*Be sure to use a level to ensure that all boards are level and plumb*

After installing all of the 1"x3" boards, I installed a 1"x2" MDF "top cap" to give the Wainscoting a more finished look.

Next, I caulked all of the seams and gaps. Once the caulk dried I painted the entire wainscoting with ultra pure white paint.

As the final step, I hung an accent mirror in the center of the wainscoting wall and placed a faux plant in the corner.

Overall, I think this project compleley transformed the look of the space!
