Cozy Office DIY Wainscot

Wainscot is the perfect way to unify and cozy up a space. For this project, I was going for a calm and moody vibe that also felt relaxing. I’m so happy with the result of this project and the best part is it is super affordable and simple with the right supplies!
 

Check out the full makeover below.

Before the makeover

  • A person stands in a beige room wearing a green jumpsuit and white socks, looking upwards with a thoughtful expression. The room is minimalistic with closed double doors.
  • A person with long hair wearing a brown jumpsuit stands on a beige carpet, facing a white wall, holding a yellow tape measure vertically.
  • An empty room with beige carpet and white walls. Sunlight streams through a window, casting a soft glow. The space feels clean and minimalist.

During the makeover

  • A person applies green painter's tape above a dark blue wainscoting. The upper wall features a gray plaid pattern, creating a modern, clean look.
  • A person wearing a yellow shirt and gray pants tapes a plaid-patterned wall. The room has a calm, DIY atmosphere with a blue cabinet nearby.
  • A person with a bun hairstyle applies green tape to a wall with beige geometric patterns. They wear a red and black checkered shirt and light blue jeans.
