Raised panel wainscoting from used kitchen cabinet doors

A lot of good ideas here.

If the length is a problem, you might also try a router. Clamp (or screw) a squared guide to the back of the style. Use a flush trim bit with the bearing running along the guide.

Also, if you cut the styles in half, so the two glued up are about the same size as the original size, it will look a lot more uniform. And if the doors are different widths, use those widths in a balance - wwnnww or wnwnwnw. Takes a little planning, but the effect will blow people away.

Beadboard wainscoting is a great wall application for dressing up kitchens, bathrooms, dining rooms and more. It’s also a great do-it-yourselfer project because with the right tools and proper planning, anyone can achieve great results.

Usually wainscoting or and a chair rail is set at a height of 32-34" from the floor. Not a given but that is the standard for a room with an 8' ceiling.
