Wainscoting, or wall paneling, is one of the oldest ways to add visual interest to kitchen walls. This textured, sometimes colorful decorating method can be beautiful when done right but can also look outdated. Eva Mendes's kitchen design falls firmly into the first camp.
Mendes's wainscoting idea combines blue lower walls with white upper walls. As seen on Instagram here, she has hung art higher up to reflect the color from the lower half of the kitchen into the upper half. It corresponds gorgeously with the natural hardwood floors. The white line details running through the panels connect it to the top part of the wall for a cohesive look. It's unique, striking, and original.
