remodeling a small office

I would like some ideas regarding my husband's small office. There is dark pine paneling in his office. The walls behind are not in the best shape. I'd like to use a commercial grade wallpaper. Would this be a good idea and do you have any reputable sites I could check for wallpaper?
I am also interested in laminate flooring. Is there a product someone has purchased and is happy with?
My main goals are to do the flooring, brighten the office up by addressing the paneling and re wallpaper a small kitchen in bath preferably by using the same paper throughout or something that will compliment.
We are on a budget so if anyone would be willing to share ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

| Why not drywall over the paneling. Relatively inexpensive. You have to extend electrical outlets with extension boxes, not too costly of a project I would think. |

thank you sierra for suggesting this. I am going to check on the possibility . The building itself is pretty old so I will ask about the electrical possibility and if there would be any problems.
Great idea. I thank you.

| If the paneling is in good condition, you can prime and paint over it for a very inexpensive renewal of the look. I did this in my home office, which had dark paneling and the room was transformed. I also put down bamboo flooring rather than laminate, which is more durable, though in my previous office I used laminate and it was adequate, it just doesn't tolerate any wetness. |
