Installing panelling
Installing MDF panelling panels is much faster and easier than installing traditional panelling, which the MDF emulates, that require plank by plank installation. Here is how to proceed.
The baseboard
Remove the old baseboard to replace it with a baseboard designed specifically for panelling (grooved top). Use a hammer or a nailing gun to secure it in place.
The panels
Insert the panelling panels in the groove of the baseboard. With a level, check that they are perfectly straight. Then, secure the panelling on the wall using a few finishing nails.
Finishing touch
To cover small surfaces, like the corners of a room, measure the dimensions of the area to cover. Cut the panelling panel with a sawbench. Secure it like the other panels. Finish the installation by hiding the top of the panels under a picture rail designed for panelling (grooved on the bottom).

Rugs
Too often, there are just too many small rugs in one room. This contributes to visual clutter and creates a chaotic atmosphere. Furthermore, if they are dirty or outdated, it is better to simply remove them!
