Is installing wainscoting difficult?

How difficult wainscoting is to install depends on what kind of wainscoting style you are going for. Raised Panel wainscoting is one of the simplest methods where inlay mould is fixed directly to the wall to create a multi-frame picture look that is relatively simple and cost-effective. If you wanted something more formal such as Recessed Panel wainscoting, there are quite a few more steps involved in the process which require a higher budget and skill set and are generally left to a carpenter or builder.
