Wainscoting transforms a bathroom from merely functional to genuinely charming. This cottage design uses green painted millwork to protect walls while creating architectural interest. The color choice was intentional, bringing outdoor garden tones inside where we spend quiet morning and evening moments.

We love how the white upper walls make the room feel larger while the green wainscoting grounds everything below. The chair rail creates a natural division that works beautifully with traditional fixtures. Every piece feels considered without being precious. Wainscoting height, molding profile, and green shade all depend on your specific ceiling height and light.

Cottage bathrooms succeed when they balance beauty with practicality. The wainscoting handles moisture beautifully, vintage-style fixtures hide everyday use, and open shelving keeps essentials accessible. This design proves character and function belong together. We provide detailed millwork specifications that local carpenters can execute confidently.
