Any ideas about how to redesign my interior walls? How to paint wood panel wall?

If you want it to turn out well you need to clean all the paneling really well. You should then prime the paneling with an oil-based primer so that your paint will adhere.

I would not use a regular wall paint over wood paneling. Using something like Benjamin Moore's Advance would be the best (very popular for painting wood cabinets).

To me, it seems that removing the paneling is your best bet. I know it *sounds* hard. But painting the paneling is not going to be any easier if you do it correctly.

I am not that handy, but painting wall should be easy.

Attached: I think there are some paint coming with the purpose of prime. You can just paint it, it serves as both prime and paint. When I painted interior walls (not wood panel) last year, home depot employee told me so.

Personally, I like the look of painted paneling and the added texture it gives.

Anyone has any suggesting about kitchen wood wall panel?

Honestly I think the best way to get this all done properly is to hire someone who knows how to do the job properly.

That is not exactly true. Even if hiring a contractor, you need to tell contractor how you want to get it done. I would not trust contractor's opinion, sometimes they just want to make their job easy.
