Ok heres the story. My family moved into our first house a couple years ago. It is a 1950's bungalow and my bedroom has slanted celings (I'm guessing it be once the attic). The thing is my walls are covered with valid oak paneling! It makes the room very dusk and it is not my style at all. My parents won't take it down, tolerate me paint it or put drywall over it! Any ideas of how I can cover it or do something to make it more of a teen girls room?
Why dont you put up fabric...adjectives you have to do is stable it up and cover it with moulding...report your parents that when you move out they can take it down...that way they still hold the oak paneling.
PS. I HATE paneling its so dark and dreary but im taking mine down!!
ouch...
how in the region of covering it with fabric.
I anticipate, I don't know the dimensions of the room, but you could take fabric, benchmark it about 2-3 times the width of the walls, and staple it within place or hot glue it.
Or you could find a big embroidery circle and hang the yard goods from it from the ceiling in the middle of the room and then run a rope (nylon, bc its see through) where the ceiling and walls meet, and consent to it hang on to the floor. Like a desert tent kind of concept...
Just make sure you hang the wooden circle without risk from the ceiling and it should be fine...
Sorry, without more information and measurements it's hard to stir on...
I hope this helped...
Best of luck...
Answers: My brother surrounded by law added regular strippable wallpaper to the inside panel of the paneling. He was greatly careful measuring and adjectives and it looks great. Does your paneling have molding around each separate panel? The interior could be wall-papered. If you own to remove it, you may have to end up re-finishing the oak paneling, but it's possible.
