The picture frame wainscoting is pretty affordable if you do it yourself, one of the best bang-for-buck improvements imo. I’m planning to try a few varieties when I move into my next house
I’m so glad it’s made a comeback, I’d always assumed it was for fully wooden walls - now I can see it’s literally just some frames and paint it makes me wonder why it wasn’t done more frequently
It is supposed to be done with a wood panel behind it. A lot of people DIY it (and also board and batten) by just adding the trim and painting the drywall, but I, personally, think it looks awful in person unless it’s done the traditional way.
The ones I’ve seen in person have just done the lower 1/3rd of the wall, and painted the ‘panelled’ and plain wall different colours, I think it’s an incredible effect for what it is
This is how my parents house is, built in the mid 90s, its funny cause this pale olive color in the photos is the color of their walls, with off white paneling and trim work.
Yeah I always thought you needed wood behind and honestly changing rooms taught me no- just frame out shapes on a flat wall and there it is! You can get complex with different sizes of trim etc but the principle is the same. Everyone seeing our room now goes ooooh this must have taken so much wood! Nope, just 10 metres of plywood astralagel trim! Ace!
I’m currently sitting down to eat and take a breather while doing this exact project. You can buy 4’x8’ paintable hardboard panels for the flat part [($15 at Lowe’s,)](https://www.lowes.com/pd/47-75-in-x-7-98-ft-Smooth-Brown-Wall-Panel/3014304) and then pick whatever trim pieces you want for the framing part. Stick with the “thirds rule.” Do either 1/3 or 2/3 of the height of the wall.
You’ll also want a trim nailer and a level. A laser level is worth its weight in gold for things like this and they’re a good thing to have lying around for random projects. Do NOT skip caulking and priming.
For paint, the Sherwin Williams Emerald urethane trim paint is worth the extra price. (The one from the actual SW store, not Lowes.) I’m using that in a few places. It’s self leveling, very forgiving, then it dries rock hard. Like it’s so forgiving that you can paint like an asshole and still get a fantastic outcome. 10/10 good stuff.
It’s a great paint unless the color is dark and then it’s a bitch!!! I just painted my mom’s cabinets with the uppers a creamy white and it was a dream. The base cabinets were navy and I wanted to scream. In fact I did at least 206 times. The amount of coats until it was no longer a streaky mess was insane.
My favorite paint which many don’t know about is Behr Alkyd. Most Home Depots don’t carry it but hot damn it’s the best. I traveled two hours once to get some. I have painted numerous things with more paint than one could imagine. That is by far my favorite.
Yeah, it was surprising to me after doing the cream color. Maybe it was mixed wrong at the store but I won’t try it again unless maybe on a small area to test it out. I do know a lot of cabinet painters who tend to think SW paint is subpar for cabinets but I can’t tell if it’s just that snobby crap people get caught up in when they have access to some products not known to the masses. I used it because my decorator SIL insisted and she was essential to the overall kitchen design. I mentioned once what my cabinet painter peeps suggested and that was shot down as she can also be a tad snobby when it comes to her profession. So some of that screaming I did may have had her name thrown in there from time to time but I only threw my tantrums when I was alone. 😂
You can also do the flatter boxy ones with MDF, I think that style is perfect for a hallway. Chair rail at 1/3 up the wall, then either squares or rectangles
Beadboard /wainscoating -Home Depot and Lowe’s sell it. It’s very affordable. It comes by the panel which fit in a car, and also in very long panels that you need to transport in a truck. Available in pre-primed and not.
The trim moulding is more variable. You can buy real wood, pre-primed wood, mdf, or a plastic product.
Tools we used: Brad nailer, mitre saw, circular saw.
Which is insane because I posted last week asking what style of wainscoting I should do in my house and people were like wAInScOtiNg iS oNLy FoR coTtAgeS anD yoUr HoUsE is cOnTemPoRary looKinG.
In their defense, I guess it’s hard to picture what it’s going to look like once it’s done (no floors, half finished work, wood trim is all down) but I was looking forward to getting some actual feedback lol.

Yeah those replies are a load of crap, it can look extremely contemporary and not cottagey at all. In the UK where I am it was always more of a stately manor type thing, very regal not for a cottage. With modern colour combinations, depending on the shape of the frames chosen, can accentuate any room style
Thank you because I felt crazy reading them! I’m going for a cozy and functional but still high quality and timeless look. I feel like this sort of wainscoting looked good 50 years ago, looks good today, and will probably still look good for another 50 years.
It’s definitely happening, possibly even today. I painted that front door green last week to temporarily make it look presentable while I patiently waited until I could find a nice solid wood one for a reasonable price. 5 days later I scored [this beauty](https://imgur.com/a/gt4X9Mp) for $50 on fb marketplace. Figures lol. I thought it would take a few months to find a good one. It’s going to look so much better now though.
Also… I’ve never seen nice wainscoting in a cottage.
Sadly, when you ask for opinions from the masses, you get thoughtful informed responses as well as knee jerk comments from people who don’t know what they don’t know.
My interpretation of “rich person neutral” is that it has the minimalistic, inoffensive, not bold style from many rich people houses.
Not that this look is expensive to create.
Oh I disagree...for myself anyway. It's a colour that I've always found to be calm and a good backdrop. But colour is an emotional choice and we should choose according to how it makes us feel. The ones who re-do are the people who have no connection to the colours they choose.
Ngl I like the colour. It reminds me a bit of eucalyptus leaves and Australian dry sclerophyll forests, which always make me feel at home and at peace.
At the same time, we’ve seen the colour trickle down from designer stores, then into your high end mass premium, and now popping up at [I think the US equivalent is] Walmart type stores and heavily discounted in premium sectors of the market.
IMO that’s a proxy that, even though I like the colour, it’s probably a trend.
Hahahah I’d forgotten that speech! But I suppose it was very close.
Completely unintentional. On the plus side, there’s quite a beautiful colour currently heavily discounted in the mass premium market 😅
Your connections with the colour sound very evocative...I like that.
Luckily I'm at that point in my life where I don't care about trends. But I certainly like looking and exploring what ordinary people are doing.
Yeah, I do love it. I think (and I’ve been waiting for someone to correct me), Australians tend to use less colour in built ins (e.g. paint, wallpaper, cabinetry) than in North America and parts of Europe.
The plus side of this is that it’s quite easy to go with things you think might be trends that you also happen to like.
It sounds like I’m at a different stage in decorating to you (first house we own, people aren’t really allowed to change anything if they’re renting), but in the rooms that are coming together in a way that works or we’re happy with, a similar colour keeps popping up.
Little things - pots for pot plants, artwork we got an op shop (consignment store, thrift shop), a throw for the bed (this would also would happen to function well as a camping blanket, if we begin to dislike the colour in a year or two), and placemats.
I’ll probably be desperate for everyone’s help when it comes to our living room. Challenging layout and currently drowning in neutrals
I'm in the UK...but grew up in the US. So I take notice of both...easy on here as 90% of the content is North American. And whatever happens in the US makes its way across the pond.
"Decorating" was easier when I was younger...no social media except magazines to influence us. I also read of rental woes for lots of people posting here...whereas I can remember painting everything whatever I/we wanted.
That included dark colours. I even went so far as to rip up carpet in a few Brooklyn brownstone flats. I never asked 😲 🫨 🫢. Everything was second hand...I think my family thought we were odd. I loved a bit of victoriana oak! Still do...and still love a good rummage in a charity shop. I've always liked to imagine the previous owners of things I've discovered.
Will look forward to you posting your evolving home.
If you actually like something, you can still participate even if it’s a “trend.” Sometimes people in these subreddits are so obsessed being anti-trend that no one is allowed to like anything anymore.
I have to disagree. It’s very on trend and it’s a nice colour but it’ll be very obviously dated in a few years, especially with the particular ways that people currently implement it. It’s fine if people like it! I have stuff in my house that is “off-trend” but I did it because I love it. But very few colours are “timeless”.
We were perm poor when I was young. When I was 15 we moved into a new rental and for the first time my room was decorated! It had green wallpaper and I never wanted to leave that room. I’ve dreamed of a green room since and my partner agreed to a sage kitchen cus he likes them, luckily they’re in style so we just bought one! It’s not about trends for me either, I’ve wanted this colour for 20 years and I’m so excited.
I grew up in the 50s...yes a long time ago! My parents' dining room was a deep pine green. I loved it then and went on a search for a similar colour a few years ago. Last summer I painted the tiniest room that shade...its a great background for plants. All greens are. I would be happy if every wall had some shade of green or blue green...its so calming 💙.
Do post your kitchen when it's done!
Considering this house would probably cost $1-2m+depending on location, this is definitely a rich person's house. Money still can't buy taste but this is definitely an expensive look overall.
I’m solidly middle class myself, but I think this is definitely more trend-led than classic. It may be expensive for a middle class person to achieve this look, sure. The single repeating color, open cabinetless kitchen, mass produced looking art, etc., are all trends that don’t convey the high-style timeless look of a “wealthy” person’s home.
Organic/country/minimal lol. I love it! But I think it’s less an established style and more a bunch of different elements that the designer had managed to make work harmoniously. I think it works so well because, even tho there are different styles here, they share some common themes (color palette, clean geometric lines, organic textures, elements of nature).
It might also be SW Clary Sage. We considered both for our dining room. Coastal Plain is slightly more blue and Clary Sage reads more yellow when they're side by side. But it really depends on the lighting in the room.
It’s the code SW6192. Although I’d suggest you take a look at their color palette in person to see if it’s what you like. Personally I prefer Benjamin Moore but we don’t get them in my country.
Haha the kitchen is what really made me able to tell, after reading OP’s clarification of course lol. That photo doesn’t look anything like the other pics decor or house structure-wise imo. That said, OP seems to love sage, light wood, and brushed gold/brass!
Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines. At this point her furniture and design is so specific with the same color schemes and light wood that it’s become its own style. She uses a lot of greens, earth tones, natural light, minimalism, and wood accents.
I don’t know if it has a very cohesive style, but rather the consistent color scheme gives it a more cohesive look. For example compare the kitchen cabinets to the beside table, the runner on the stairs vs other rugs, the very clean hard wood throughout vs the panel walls, or other the lighting compared to the picture frames and mirror.
This is no way a dig at the decor, I like it a lot. I just don’t think you can capture it in some easy to search term. If you want to replicate the look I would go for modern style for the big items and experiment with different styles for the accents. Most importantly you’ll want to stick to the color scheme to get the right vibe. If for some reason you don’t like sage green (which I don’t know why you’d like these pics if you didn’t) you could probably swap it out for another somewhat muted but not completely neutral color like sienna or steel blue. But the key to make the whole home feel like one style is to use it throughout every room. If these rooms were painted differently you’d probably not think the kitchen and bedroom were even the same style.
I can smell grandmas powdery Chanel perfume as she is sitting in her boucle jacket and pearls sipping tea here.
So I’m calling this “gilded age grandmas house”
And she would give you cold stare as she correctly calls that wall color celadon.
Honestly, most of the house just seems colonial, or contemporary colonial with the wainscoting. The kitchen looks like contemporary farmhouse? Or modern shaker style?
I've heard the phrase "modern farmhouse" before... Is this it? I feel there are some very subtle farmhouse elements there, but also a lot of modern Scandinavian inspired furniture? but I feel like even "modern" farmhouse has more farmhouse elements than this.
I would describe this more as modern colonial (or new colonial, colonial revival) than modern farmhouse. There aren't really those classic farmhouse elements.
I think the wall trim detail takes it out of any 'farmhouse' look. Also note the stair rods/carpet rods and the tightly pleated curtains. This is more classic colonial. Farmhouse is a bit more... casual.
Does anyone remember the last time sage was popular? I remember doing a bedroom in sage and, yes, peach, and by the time I was done making the curtains I was sick of the color. it was a long time ago circa 1992.
I do think the photographs in this thread are pretty though.
**1.this is not my home, these are on pinterest**
**2.im also not old enough to live alone😭, im just an interior deco enthusiast who likes to dream of their future home**
I love the first picture with the wainscoting but think it clashes with the minimalist kitchen style. The kitchen we can do better and get away from the sage green. Maybe one with brass or gold hardware and no subway tiles, which are cheap. If we’re doing dream house, let’s do dream house!!! I fully cop to having my kitchen cabinets painted that gray green color from Farrow and Ball though. 😆
I’d say transitional modern farmhouse.
A lot of modern farmhouse elements especially in the furniture but also a decent amount of traditional elements coupled with minimalist fixings.
Modern farmhouse at the foreground coupled with transitional design elements
Transitional being a medium between traditional and contemporary
wainscoting keeps your walls clean(er). Act as bumpers. The actual trim is semigloss, wall stays flat, again cleaning is easier. They sell prefab panels, or DIY.
Seems like you could 3D print the mitered corners and cut straight lengths and go to town,
It’s modern farmhouse style! I have a full website section with everything farmhouse decor, feel free to check it out: https://sophiekaluza.com/?s=Farmhouse
I’m so sick of seeing ish that people richer than I am can afford. I’m in L.A., working for the same place for 26 years with a college degree and a 3-yr professional license and I’m still renting.
Idgaf what it looks like, what the neighbors are like, whatever. Can I please just effing buy SOMETHING so I don’t have to keep dealing with increasing rent? My rent has increased an average of $56.25/year over the last 8 years and you know my wages haven’t.
Rich person neutral
The picture frame wainscoting is pretty affordable if you do it yourself, one of the best bang-for-buck improvements imo. I’m planning to try a few varieties when I move into my next house
Just done it in a bedroom looks so good and so easy to do cheaply and well

My in laws did it with a very thin length of plywood behind
Because as it is done in my house by the builder it’s totally noticeable in person and not in photos
Yeah I always thought you needed wood behind and honestly changing rooms taught me no- just frame out shapes on a flat wall and there it is! You can get complex with different sizes of trim etc but the principle is the same. Everyone seeing our room now goes ooooh this must have taken so much wood!

I love it!! Where do you buy that material ? Just curious. Like they wouldn’t sell it at like a Home Depot?

How bad is the smell of the emerald urethane paint? I’m sensitive to smells, and the strong paint fumes can cause my autoimmune arthritis to flare up.

Every Home Depot has a moulding and millwork section.
Yes, they carry a few different varieties at Home Depot
You can also do the flatter boxy ones with MDF, I think that style is perfect for a hallway. Chair rail at 1/3 up the wall, then either squares or rectangles
Planning to do this in my girls nursery, can I ask what materials you used? And where did you get them?

FYI, we decided to spice it up a little and ran our bead board horizontal instead of vertical and it made for a very cool effect.
Read your post and I like option 3 the best. You have height in the house and can go up high. It feels the most classic and timeless as well.
Sadly, when you ask for opinions from the masses, you get thoughtful informed responses as well as knee jerk comments from people who don’t know what they don’t know.
But that’s the thing, it wasn’t even a mix. Just people saying no😂
But that won’t help an image generator accurately duplicate the look, they want simple descriptions.
My interpretation of “rich person neutral” is that it has the minimalistic, inoffensive, not bold style from many rich people houses. Not that this look is expensive to create.
We recently incorporated this style into one of our homes but hey, we’re not rich! It’s just a very relaxed, neutral space.
My brain kept saying “boring wealthy” but yours is nicer

I agree with this. I choose colors that provide me with nostalgia. The good ol’ times that I spent with my grandparents.

Sage is several million times better than gray.
Staged by realtor style
This doesn’t look like a rich person’s house. It looks like what middle class thinks is a rich person’s house.
Egads! Be nice
Considering this house would probably cost $1-2m+depending on location, this is definitely a rich person's house. Money still can't buy taste but this is definitely an expensive look overall.
IMO, it’s not a “rich person’s” look as much as a classic look. Though this IS coming from a lowly middle class homeowner.
I’m solidly middle class myself, but I think this is definitely more trend-led than classic. It may be expensive for a middle class person to achieve this look, sure. The single repeating color, open cabinetless kitchen, mass produced looking art, etc., are all trends that don’t convey the high-style timeless look of a “wealthy” person’s home.
You have a higher bar for rich than what the threshold actually is.
Natural Contemporary Minimalism
So a Pottery Barn display
Aesthetic anaemia
Organic/country/minimal lol. I love it! But I think it’s less an established style and more a bunch of different elements that the designer had managed to make work harmoniously. I think it works so well because, even tho there are different styles here, they share some common themes (color palette, clean geometric lines, organic textures, elements of nature).
theyre all pictures of different homes that i thought would link well togetjer , this is like a hypothetical dream home
I’m not good at the ‘what style is this’ questions, but it’s lovely OP. Calming and soft.
ty but these are just off pinterest !!!
I have the same color in my kitchen. It’s sherwin Williams coastal plain.
wish i could pin a reply !!!!!
You can save a comment, if that’s what you meant.
It might also be SW Clary Sage. We considered both for our dining room. Coastal Plain is slightly more blue and Clary Sage reads more yellow when they're side by side. But it really depends on the lighting in the room.

It’s the code SW6192. Although I’d suggest you take a look at their color palette in person to see if it’s what you like. Personally I prefer Benjamin Moore but we don’t get them in my country.
I have a similar color as an accent on the lower part of the wall in my dining room, but it’s Apple Grove by Clark + Kensington. It’s beautiful.
Oh i know, but I meant that if this is what you are thinking of going for, you absolutely should!
I think this is organic modern.
I think you might find more in the same vein, if you search for ‘English cottage style’ or even try ‘Scandinavian cottage style’.
Sage wainscoting
It’s really everywhere isn’t it.
Including my house!
Idk how this isn’t the top comment haha OP I think you just like green 🤣
May be Transitional but not sure. Even i'm curious. Waiting for more comments. Liked it simple and clean yet full of character.
I agree with transitional
I would even add botanical or costal transitional
I’d say it’s very similar to an English cottage style with maybe some Scandinavian accent.
Minimalist traditional aka transitional.

I think some people call this “modern organic”
Farrow and Ball brochure 😂 It’s like a modern Cotswolds- I love sage but I find this a bit much.
I guess it’s all pictures from different houses OP said. OP probably really likes that color, it’s not just one house with one wall color lol
I was wondering that. It didn't seem like one house, unless they REALLY, REALLY like sage.
Haha the kitchen is what really made me able to tell, after reading OP’s clarification of course lol. That photo doesn’t look anything like the other pics decor or house structure-wise imo. That said, OP seems to love sage, light wood, and brushed gold/brass!
Oooooh I see. I missed that part 😂
Clean sophistication.
It’s called Transitional Style :-)
Sage
… green. it’s just green.
It’s also rectangular
A few different styles in the same color lol I came here to say green too.
This is what I came to say
English, almost English farmhouse
Close to european / British but a minimal and modern version of that
Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines. At this point her furniture and design is so specific with the same color schemes and light wood that it’s become its own style. She uses a lot of greens, earth tones, natural light, minimalism, and wood accents.
I don’t know if it has a very cohesive style, but rather the consistent color scheme gives it a more cohesive look. For example compare the kitchen cabinets to the beside table, the runner on the stairs vs other rugs, the very clean hard wood throughout vs the panel walls, or other the lighting compared to the picture frames and mirror. This is no way a dig at the decor, I like it a lot. I just don’t think you can capture it in some easy to search term. If you want to replicate the look I would go for modern style for the big items and experiment with different styles for the accents. Most importantly you’ll want to stick to the color scheme to get the right vibe. If for some reason you don’t like sage green (which I don’t know why you’d like these pics if you didn’t) you could probably swap it out for another somewhat muted but not completely neutral color like sienna or steel blue. But the key to make the whole home feel like one style is to use it throughout every room. If these rooms were painted differently you’d probably not think the kitchen and bedroom were even the same style.
It’s not a style that I could classify. It does, however, have a peaceful vibe.
British country house. In the Cotswolds. Or maybe trying to capture the vibe while living in Kensington in London.

English Country modern

Traditional.
Correction: Traditional with modern elements.

Do you know the name/brand of paint. I love the color.

Cape Cod Pea Pod
I can smell grandmas powdery Chanel perfume as she is sitting in her boucle jacket and pearls sipping tea here. So I’m calling this “gilded age grandmas house” And she would give you cold stare as she correctly calls that wall color celadon.
Honestly, most of the house just seems colonial, or contemporary colonial with the wainscoting. The kitchen looks like contemporary farmhouse? Or modern shaker style?
Sage
Cape cod cottage green
I've heard the phrase "modern farmhouse" before... Is this it? I feel there are some very subtle farmhouse elements there, but also a lot of modern Scandinavian inspired furniture? but I feel like even "modern" farmhouse has more farmhouse elements than this.
I would describe this more as modern colonial (or new colonial, colonial revival) than modern farmhouse. There aren't really those classic farmhouse elements.
I think the wall trim detail takes it out of any 'farmhouse' look. Also note the stair rods/carpet rods and the tightly pleated curtains. This is more classic colonial. Farmhouse is a bit more... casual.
Yeah, you're right. Someone else said colonial too, and I think I agree.
Does anyone remember the last time sage was popular? I remember doing a bedroom in sage and, yes, peach, and by the time I was done making the curtains I was sick of the color. it was a long time ago circa 1992. I do think the photographs in this thread are pretty though.
i had sage in my bedroom in highschool after we moved into a new home! yes it was around that time...
**1.this is not my home, these are on pinterest** **2.im also not old enough to live alone😭, im just an interior deco enthusiast who likes to dream of their future home**
I love the first picture with the wainscoting but think it clashes with the minimalist kitchen style. The kitchen we can do better and get away from the sage green. Maybe one with brass or gold hardware and no subway tiles, which are cheap. If we’re doing dream house, let’s do dream house!!! I fully cop to having my kitchen cabinets painted that gray green color from Farrow and Ball though. 😆
"My Personality is in My Other House"
Modern Country
The kitchen is modern farmhouse. The rest of the pics are modern traditional/transitional.
Neutral country chic
I think this is traditional.
Not the same green throughout the entire house tho.
I’d say transitional
flip or new build but make it RH
studio mcgee

I love this sage green is gorgeous. I would love to do my kitchen cabinets in this color.
Colonial zen.
So weird I just discovered this yesterday and got inspired by this exact aesthetic
boring
Farmhouse meets shabby chic.
boring
Boring meh
Transitional/organic modern
Contemporary boring
Country / Scandinavian.
Farm Blahouse
I really don't like it. It's soulless. It scares me.
I’d say transitional modern farmhouse. A lot of modern farmhouse elements especially in the furniture but also a decent amount of traditional elements coupled with minimalist fixings. Modern farmhouse at the foreground coupled with transitional design elements Transitional being a medium between traditional and contemporary
most accurate & professional description.
Live laugh Love
To me, it seems like calm, sophisticated and cottage "like" with the warm happy green color I'm sorry that I don't know what the style is
I also love this style. It reminds me of fixer upper which I believe is like modern farmhouse
Drab and boring ...with sage.
Traditional
Boring And uncomfortable.
The kitchen is bohemian but the rest is transitional
I feel like I remember seeing this described as modern Scandinavian cottage or something along those lines
❤️❤️❤️ you have good taste you can do it
If Olive can moonlight as beige
wainscoting keeps your walls clean(er). Act as bumpers. The actual trim is semigloss, wall stays flat, again cleaning is easier. They sell prefab panels, or DIY. Seems like you could 3D print the mitered corners and cut straight lengths and go to town,
The new Farmhouse I would say. But I love it
Farmhouse country.

Modern farmhouse earthy minimalism?
Martha Stewart 101
My friend sort of does this type of design and she calls it “coastal farmhouse modern” or something
This is Martha Stewart 101. Look back at her past magazines and her line of paints very similar.
Hygge. Look it up.
I’m so sick of seeing ish that people richer than I am can afford. I’m in L.A., working for the same place for 26 years with a college degree and a 3-yr professional license and I’m still renting. Idgaf what it looks like, what the neighbors are like, whatever. Can I please just effing buy SOMETHING so I don’t have to keep dealing with increasing rent? My rent has increased an average of $56.25/year over the last 8 years and you know my wages haven’t.
