Panelled feature wall??

7 years ago

Our main floor is open (kitchen, dining and family room) with a large empty wall and vaulted ceiling in the family room. I had contemplated filling this wall space with a large art gallery wall or open display shelves but I would absolutely LOVE to do a feature wall of white wainscotting/panelling (see photos below). My questions are 1) would this go with the contemporary(ish) style of my home? 2) would I have to put crown moulding around the entire ceiling on the main floor? 3) where would I stop the wainscotting (ie. on either side of the staircase or just the single wall)? and lastly, 4) would it look weird with the angled ceiling?

Thanks so much for your input-- it is much appreciated and you have all been so helpful with my other questions.

i'd go with the art gallery wall. its a better idea seeing your space. angled walls/ceilings don't mix well with crown moldings in any case. save the paneled feature wall for your next house.

I love your space! I noticed a gate in the background so I assume you have kids or pets or both? If so, do you find your glass railings on your stairs difficult to keep clean? We are moving into a new house in a few days and I need to modernize the staircase. I have considered glass, but have 2 kids + one dog and am concerned. Regarding your actual question, I would have expected to see something like reclaimed barnwood or stone work in your inspiration photo and not wainscoting which looks more traditional than the existing style of your space.

The thin gold veins in Calacatta marble can nicely compliment your beige flooring. You can also try pairing the beige flooring with beige marble such as the Spanish Crema Marfil marble. However, if you’d prefer to have some contrast in your space, then consider opting for a backlit onyx. This not only creates a luxurious look, but can also brighten up your space.

Hello Amit, Along with the wall treatment, do take care of proper light. Place decorative light on the front wall as well as the door side wall.

Go for the molding!! Its the right choice for a feature. However, I suggest a contemporary design rather than the traditional molding you pictured. There are limitless configurations and the price is all basically the same. Think outside of the box (pun intended).
