Tudor & Tudor Revival wall paneling & wainscoting
Dark oak paneling, linenfold carving, heavy beams, arched doorways and stone-and-timber chimneypieces.
In a modern project, oak paneling is the heart of the style. A dado-height wainscot of small panels, a carved frieze, or a two-stage chimneypiece in a living room brings the character without a full paneled room.
Wall paneling ranges from simple board-and-batten to full-height Georgian rooms, Tudor linenfold and the wood-lined Alpine Stube. It is one of the most effective ways to give a room period character.
