Transforming a dining room doesn’t always require a full renovation. Sometimes, all it takes is the right combination of trim work, color, and craftsmanship to give the space a refined, custom look. At Benner & Sons, we recently completed a wainscoting installation and painting project that beautifully illustrates how architectural detailing can elevate a room.
Step 1: Planning the Design
Our client wanted a timeless, elegant look that complemented their built-in cabinetry and existing trim. We recommended classic board-and-batten wainscoting, which adds depth and character without overwhelming the room. Precision is key in this stage — from measuring wall height to aligning trim with existing features like cabinetry and outlets.
Step 2: Installing the Wainscoting
With careful measurements in hand, our team cut and installed the vertical battens, top rails, and base trim. Each piece was meticulously placed to ensure clean lines and consistent spacing. The result is a crisp architectural grid that feels both traditional and fresh.
Step 3: Painting for Impact
We used a two-tone color scheme to draw attention to the craftsmanship. The lower wainscoting was painted a classic white, creating contrast against the serene, soft green walls above. Our painters used high-quality, durable paints with a smooth finish that resists scuffs — perfect for high-traffic spaces like a dining room.
Finishing Touches
The built-in cabinets were refreshed to match the wainscoting, blending seamlessly with the new trim. We also worked around existing light fixtures and floor transitions to ensure a cohesive, professional finish.
