When you want to romanticise the interior of your home, wainscoting is the go-to design element to get it done. Period homes especially benefit from using wall mouldings, timber mouldings, and other sustainable timber to achieve this look.
What about commercial wainscoting for your business? Absolutely! Porta mouldings and Porta dressed timber are two products that you can use to create a unique appearance. Design features often used in residential homes can inspire any commercial space.
Achieving the period look
Adding warmth and character to an indoor space is effortless with Porta timber. The set lengths of Porta’s dressed timber can help recreate large-scale wainscoting in an indoor space. It is perfect for use in aged-care facilities, bars, hotels, offices, restaurants, and more.
One of the main advantages of incorporating wainscoting into a commercial space is that you can use a variety of materials to achieve this timeless pattern. Porta offers the finest selection of quality timber, including DAR, beadboard, and dado wall railing.
Contemporary twist for commercial wainscoting
Whether you are going for sophistication or romanticism, wainscoting designs featured in the home easily transfer to a commercial setting. Let’s take a look at how commercial spaces can include wainscoting in their unique interior designs to add value to the spaces.
The Grande Dame look embraces romantic period features with a contemporary twist. It is the perfect way to add depth, dimension, and elegance to dress up an otherwise plain wall. Want to make ceilings appear higher? Use wall mouldings to form tall, narrow rectangular patterns on the walls. Forming shorter, wide patterns works well in creating a luxurious and spacious feel to the space. Wall mouldings and DAR are the best materials to use if you want to give this a try in your commercial space. Check out the spec sheet for the full list of materials needed for this trend.
Commercial wainscoting in action
Check out the Lazy Bird Bar in Chicago. The designers masterfully wove wainscoting into the interior spaces to create an elegant and warm ambience. Using sustainable timber or other real wood is your best bet for easier cleanup, which is important in commercial spaces like bars and restaurants, where food and drink spills can leave a mess.
