I'm a big fan - its definitely got some coastal calm to it!

We love it! Particularly in a matt finish! It looks great when mixed with other materials too, such as tile or (1/2 ) mirror.

I love the warmth (literally) and character it can add to any space. Both my kitchen and living room have felt significantly warmer since putting it in.

I like the look of it in other people's homes, but it's a tiny bit too country for me

Love it!

I think it looks really good in small quantities around the house, or in a bathroom as the picture shows. We've kept a load of panels from an old chapel we recently stripped out. We're now using it around our conversion (as window sills, cupboard doors) etc.

I'm a brit and love it and wanted it in my Polish house however my husband says wee wee splashes on wood is not hyenenic. I have seen the tile wooden panel effect but they are expensive. I will show him this and hopefully get my way.

I really wanted to use it in my bathroom but chickened out over how well it would stand up to moisture around a claw foot. I do like the tiles I have but when I see beadboard/tongue and groove bathrooms I feel a pang of envy.

I'm investing in panelling for my bathroom. I live in a old police house. (Georgian)The bathroom was once a cell. I think panelling will make the room feel more warm and relaxed.

Am I the only one who HATES IT. Moved into a house with it on the walls, ceiling, in cupboards, around windows, EVERYWHERE. And it is the pine (dirty pine) wood. It is coming out. Give me plain painted walls every time.

I think it looks lovely. However, might I say that I prefer panelling really. Each to their own though.

If painted it looks fine, varnished or stained brown colours or even worse that honey orange 1980s colour then it looks terrible. I have lived in several properties with it in the bathroom, even around the bath and it was fine (painted with bathroom paint though one was exterior paint). Good quality paneling with a visible grain painted white and finished well will always look good.

It painted gray as in the picture above, it looks wonderful.

LOVE it! However, it does need to be painted to give the country look that so many of us like

Forgot to say, for the benefit of 106jarret, think carefully before removing all that panelling, especially if it's an old house, it may well hide a multitude of sins, and bring about a lot of costly work, you might find that painting it makes the world of difference and saves you a whole lot of work and expense.

We have it in the bathroom of the house we recently moved into. We are going to have to remove it though because with the moisture it has cracked and expanded, goodness knows what we'll find underneath!

My teenage years during the 80s in a self-converted loft with T&G panelling all over will never leave me whenever I see it. No one painted it then other than using clear varnish though. Fascinating to see it's recently seeing a revival. Wonder if woodchip wallpaper will be next :-)

I love this Houzz bathroom picture in grey. The Balance is right. My Favourite picture in wood panelling and would have it like this picture depicts broken up with metro/subway tiles and painted walls. Done right it can look nice or overdone you will Hate it, as I have seen it done very badly by a T.V. designer in a Yukee cornflower blue over the whole room. But the owner loved it.

I love it BUT it has to be natural or painted. The orange pine is a definite no no!

So interesting this has come up! I'm about to do a loft conversion and am torn between a classic Victorian look with tongue and groove or a super modern bathroom! Either would work in my Victorian house as there are only hints of original in the house (and the loft of course is a modern addition). That said given the comments here I remain torn!!!

I put tongue and groove in my old farmhouse bathroom. Now we've moved house it's the room I miss most. I absolutely loved it but not sure it will really suit the 80s house we are in now. (sorry about the sideways pics, can't work out how to turn them!)

I really like it. I'm thinking of buying panels for up my stairs, I've seen it in a friends house and it looks charming.

I love this to add coastal style and would like to add it to walls in a coastal cottage we are buying. Can anyone advise on cost of employing a joiner to do this room by room please?

@catherinemcdonald Our joiner charged £680 for a smallish hall which included new picture rails and skirting.

I so love the panelling in our hall. Looks great and super practical.

Lovely in other people's houses. Strikes me as a dust trap...

love it, particularly in a bathroom. The first pic in Dulwich and

juliedennis74's pic are fab!

Its great! Used to great effect in so many projects on Houzz. It can become something very different if you vary the width of the boards and the height that it finishes. Brilliant to add texture to a small space. Over a whole wall it can contain a bold colour. Painted in a good quality eggshell (oil based still exists, try Little Greene) its wipeable so will be ok for 'wee spray' (T Tokarczyk). Also if you use marine grade Ply and its correctly painted, then you should avoid any of the nasty blow out caused by moisture.

Found this company online in UK https://theenglishpanellingcompany.co.uk/product/georgian-panelling/

Im getting the short for the bathroom.. it’s moisture resistant

It’s a yes from me! We incorporated it when we renovated our bathroom last year and it was one of things at the top of my wish list.

@caroline murphy has your panelling arrived? I’m considering it too.

Topping it with a little shelf like shown at number 7 here looks good!

I have original 200 year old wide bead and butt panelling boxing in a stairway. Oddly enough it is horizontal.
It goes with a one of a kind door at the bottom of the stairs that has panels that are sort of triangular. Of course I shall keep both and will include some similar panelling in the house but in moderation. I had considered it for the bathroom but I fall on the side that thinks it will be a maintenance problem. It would however be great in a cloakroom, painted of course.

Sounds lovely keiblem!

Just gone up today.

I was going to paint them the dark blue from panels... but now they’re up.. maybe paint them white ( they are primed)

Lovely tiles in the shower too

It’s lovely to see work in progress rather than just the finished article. We can share the pain and know better what was involved to get there.

Lovely Caroline! What are you putting on the floor?

They’re down and I don’t like them very much.

My plumber putting pressure on me and I couldn’t find anything that would go with everything

Oh yes, sorry, no idea how I missed them! I’m sure once you have everything in & the colours balanced will look lovely! I know what you mean re tiles...my head is mush looking at them online / ordering samples.
