Wainscoting is a decorative wall paneling typically applied to the lower portion of interior walls, often up to 100mm (10 cm) in height in this case. It serves both aesthetic and functional purposes—adding visual interest, texture, and style while also protecting walls from scuffs and damage. The 100mm height is relatively low, commonly used as a baseboard-style trim rather than full wall paneling, providing a subtle but refined finish to the room. Wainscoting can be made from wood, MDF, or PVC and is often painted or stained to match the interior décor.
