The height of your wall panelling depends on the look you’re going for. Typically, wall panelling is installed between one-third and two-thirds of the wall’s height. To achieve a classic look, panelling is often placed around 1 meter (39 inches) high, but you can go higher for a more dramatic effect. Consider panelling the entire wall or adding a feature panel around the middle to achieve a more modern look.
