I will probably be installing beadboard wainscot in a couple bedrooms. Both bedrooms have windows that are roughly 28" above the floor. The wainscot will be around 34" above the floor. How do i install the wainscot around the window? Here is a pic of the window
Trim the beadboard tightly around the window. The wainscot moulding will stop on each side of the window. Some people trim the edge at 45 degrees or plane it rounded to ease the edge back to the casing moulding. If you have the skill and equipment you can mitre the moulding down beside the casing about an inch then either cope it or mitre it back to the wall to create a finished edge at the bottom edge of the wainscot moulding.
