Unsightly varnished wood panelling and York stone in lounge

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.23 PM

Varnished wood panelling and multi coloured Yorkstone below I have a 26ft lounge with one entire wall covered in varnished wood panelling and multicoloured Yorkstone below and both look unsighty and very dated. What can I do to disguise them as they can't be removed because of the fear of not knowing the state of the walls behind them. Any ideas please.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

If you don't want to tear it down you can build a fake wall in front of it using drywall. Hope this helps.

The varnished wood can be rubbed down, primed undercoated and finished in a flat matt, soft sheen or even gloss finish in any colour imaginable, as for the yorkstone u can use masonry paint to contrast with the new paint on the wood. All of this is relatively easy and cost effective to do, done correctly it would look nice...
