Blue jeans, newspaper, wool have all been used for insulation.
You can hang blankets.
Nothing behind paneling without removing it. Decorative rugs hung on walls was not just for looks. Love the dogs playing poker HA HA
Hi Lynda,
Yes, you could use blankets or rugs and hang them on your wall.Another real insulation option for paneling is blown in insulation. Yes, it will take some work, time & money, but you won't have to do it every year. Wishing you the best.

If you are removing the paneling just go ahead and install batting insulation. Will pay for itself quickly on utilities.
If you can get to the space behind your paneling you really should use actual insulation, either bats or ridgid foam. It really is easy to install insulation and requires only a few tools.
Thanks everyone for your help. Im tryin to decide on which idea to go with. Have a blessed weekend.
