For instance, by adding a top layer of drywall to the bottom third of an existing wall, you can cut in 2 foot by 2 foot squares the depth of the drywall layer. Add chair rail inside each square and to the top of the newly added drywall.
Bingo! You have created a wainscot.
This is a great look in a dining room or study. The wainscot can be painted with wall paint any color of your choice, or even enameled to look like wood. It can also be fauxed it to look like wood, which is much cheaper than real wood.
Let your imagination fly with drywall!
