Default Is Paneling Dated

I have done a lot of patching of drywall and think I know quite a bit about
all of the details on how to do things right the first time. I had never
done sheets before, and wasn't sure if I'd screw it right up. It was a
piece of cake. Worked perfectly. I now have both panelling and drywall in
my basement. The drywall rooms could be any room in the house, but he
panelling is reserved for specific places. A real wood room can be awesome,
but would you put paneling in your living room? Depends what its for.

Is paneling for a basement really that dated? I want to redo my basement,
which has old paneling on it. I prefer not to do drywall because it is is
thicker, and might require re-laying the carpet and tackless.

I know some paneling can look pretty tacky, but I'd get the real wood
stuff, and put a clear water poly finish on it so it doesn't yellow.
