I'm buying a house with a family room that's full of wood panels and I am afraid of paintig them white and ruining them.

You could try the rolls of wall pops. They have so many styles and there's no glue like wall paper
It won’t ruin them just make sure that it fits with your decor style
Hi Samantha,
I painted some in one room in my home and wallpapered some in another room. When I painted I scuffed it up and used a primer for the first coat, then applied the paint. With the wallpaper one, I filled in the grooves with drywall compound, let it dry and sanded it smooth, then applied the wallpaper. Both walls turned out great and have lasted a long time. Wishing you the best.
My Mil had hers painted, they lightly sanded them, primed them well and painted them a very light mint green, they turned out beautiful. The room was so dark before and now it is bright and pretty.
Basically the same as the other. I have cleaned, lightly sanded, primed and painted. They will look nice when done.
Start by painting just one wall as an accent. See how you like it. Sometimes I think all painted is too much white so painting some might be just right
