Often, rooms can come with bizarre decorative choices. While some might just be cosmetic—say, a color that’s not your favorite or a tile choice that you’re not wild about—others can impact the function of the space as a whole. For instance, a bathroom might come with wall-to-wall carpeting or an oddly shaped, not-super-useful bath. Heidi Ford’s (@TheNotSoBigHouse‘s) bathroom came with both of those things.

Last week we were contracted to remove some popcorn ceilings in an older home in West Ashley SC. While we were there our client asked about removing the paneling on the walls and replacing it with drywall.

It doesn’t always make sense to remove wood paneling if you are trying to keep the existing charm in the home intact. This home was built in the 1920’s and restored to display its original beauty and character from that time frame. When updating an older home, it’s best to consider the design style and time period the home was built. Unless you are going to update every single area of the home, it makes the most sense to keep with the existing style but add in your own personal touch.

When you purchase old houses, chances are good that you will become the new proud owner of one or two wood panelled rooms. Congratulations! What's that I hear? Groaning? Grumbling? Sorry.

More on the downstairs bathroom tomorrow! To be fair, the paneling in the living room wasn’t dreadful. It’s just…
