I used a tool that visualizes tile on the walls (just easier for me :) But this could be a nice look with wallpaper; lots of things you could do with removable wallpaper or paint to really change the look.

I didn’t mean to cover the wainscoting; but this could work ok, too - and I’d keep all the rest of the wood detail, as shown.

The stool shown below is very inexpensive, and swivels, too!
