Wood Panelling

Well I like it.

During and after. 3mm ply, 9mm MDF (cut into strips by the timber merchant) and some beading. Easy to do, just take your time with the measurements and planning.

Chasing? Found :-)

What's the wall colour in second pic? Lovely.

Aww thanks. I had to go and find the paint chart, it’s Green Slate from the Dulux Heritage range, mixed at our builders merchant.  It has a blue-ish hint in the daylight, but an actual blue was too cold.

One day we will get round to painting the bannister!

Thanks, CtWD. I'd assumed the banister was purposely 'distressed' :-)

Is that all your own work? If so, I lay prostrate at your feet in awe.

The panelling is China White? Are the hall colours as nice in reality as they appear in the photos? How do you choose these colours? Who has the 'eye'?!

Lovely!

And who hung all those pictures so well? That's a brilliant job in itself!

Aww thanks. Yes, all me. Hence why it is still not finished 😆 (that and lack of funds for carpet. I have some salvaged stair rods to use on a runner one day) but the upstairs hallways are not yet finished while I play with radiators.

The hardest bit was calculating the measurements up the stairs so it looked right - the actual making up is just being methodical and taking time to get the angles etc. right. 

Sadly I have no eye and am tend to copy Pinterest. Yes the panels are china white - purely because the paint chart suggested it.

This is the Pinterest  picture I fell in love with. OP, have a good browse on there and copy something you like.

Er me, but they are actually quite wonky and need re-stringing -  the camera must be forgiving 😆 Thanks though, I am really pleased with it, the kids/hubby don’t really notice so nice to have feed back.

That's reassuring to know! I often get my 'inspiration' there too, but suspect it wouldn't work as well as yours. You do have the physical space and layout for it - clearly a characterful house you have there - but it's still good to know the ideas are transferable.

Cheers - nice colours. Will likely copy...

I've gotta stop reading these threads, you're making me look at my hallway like it just fell of the back of a Russian turnip truck.

I grew up in a Victorian house. It had a dado rail, just like Chasing has put in. Below the dado was a very heavy anaglypta paper with a geometrical design. The overall impression was rather similar to the panelling.

That looks amazing @ChasingtheWelshdream, so elegant! What a great job you've done
