Drywall works well in most rooms, but it can be damaged easily.
Over time, your drywall will probably suffer a few dents and holes, particularly in the lower areas. You can protect your walls by installing durable wainscoting panels. Repair any large damaged areas that might interfere with the installation. Small damaged areas can be ignored if the wainscoting will cover them. Use a flat bar and a cushioning block to remove the baseboard.
