Decided to decorate the entry hallway walls with panel moudling and I think the result came out pretty good. Wasn't sure if i will be able to do it but this forum has been very helpful to ask questions every time i got stuck.
I think it came out very good and has truly transformed the space.
Hopefully my effort inspire other people to take up similar projects as well.
Materials
66 x 11mm 5.4m Moulding White Pine FJ Primed Colonial SA1 - Bunnings Australia
Porta 30x12mm 2.4m Panel Mould Clear Pine - Bunnings Australia
Selleys 420g Liquid Nails Fast Grab Strong Adhesive - Bunnings Australia
UNi-PRO Skeleton Caulking Gun - Bunnings Australia
Selleys 475g No More Gaps Interior Multipurpose Gap Filler
ScotchBlue 24mm x 55m Sharp Lines Multi-Surface Painter’s Masking Tape - 24mm - Bunnings Australia - Bunnings Australia
Timbermate 250g White Wood Filler - Bunnings Australia
Craftright Mitre Box And Saw Set - Bunnings Australia
Kincrome 350mm Universal Precision Cut Handsaw - Bunnings Australia
Tools
Ryobi 18V ONE+ 18GA Brad Nailer - Tool Only - Bunnings Australia
Steps
Step 1
- Took the measurements of the walls and draw a rough plan on paper.
- Marked out the outlines on the walls to get an idea on how it looks. Really recommend Stanley 1200mm High Impact ABS Resin Spirit Level - Bunnings Australia.
- Locate the studs and use a tape or similar to mark out the location.
- Cut the pine mould to size. Pine mould used is Porta 30x12mm 2.4m Panel Mould Clear Pine - Bunnings Australia
- I used the craftright mitre box to cut the pine Craftright Mitre Box And Saw Set - Bunnings Australia
- Stick the mould on the wall along the pencil lining. I used selley fast grab liquid and Nailed them into the studs using a Ryobi Brad nailer. The vertical panels I only used glue as they did not line up with the studs. Fill the holes with wood filler.
- I ended up with joints between the moulds so used Timbermate wood filler. A tip would be to use this as little as possible. I was quite generous initially and it became a time consuming task to sand it all down.
- For the chair rail install would really recommend using a laser level to get your line. i used 66 x 11mm 5.4m Moulding White Pine FJ Primed Colonial SA1 - Bunnings Australia.
- Double check the chair rail height from the top of skirting is consistent all the way through. use the stanley spirit level as it also has a ruler. This is to make sure you get it a perfect horizontal on the chair rail.
- Taped around the pine to prime it. Remove the tape when the primer is dry.
Afternoon @SaadMalik
From a very plain hall to something that has a lot of class. You really have lifted that space out of the dolldrums. Even to the point of me wondering how I could incorporate the trim into my own short hallway
Nice work and well worth it.

Hi @SaadMalik
Thank you very much for sharing the details of your wainscotting project. It looks very modern and stylish. I'm in total agreement with Dave-1 and think that this would be a worthwhile addition even in a short hallway.
Again, thanks for sharing such a wonderful project.
