Step one to any rest room rework as you understand is demo. We fully gutted your entire room which you’ll be able to learn extra about here.

As soon as we demo’d your entire area it was time to get the room again so as. That white wall proper there was our clean canvas for the wooden plank wall.

1. Select Materials

Step one is to decide on your materials. There are a ton of several types of wooden and nice choices you possibly can select from, so it in the end comes all the way down to the look of the area you’re wanting.

Some wooden accent wall choices to contemplate:

• Reclaimed Wooden – this may be Pallet wooden, or aged fence pickets, no matter you like the look of and do not forget that even reclaimed wooden might be planed down to look new and recent when you don’t love the aged or rustic look that has that barn wooden fashion..
• Shiplap – made standard by Joanna Gaines, Shiplap is now available at most lumber shops. At your native retailer they typically carry white shiplap pre primed. If you’re on the lookout for a stained wooden choice for shiplap, you could have to create it like this tutorial reveals you tips on how to do.
• Slat partitions are extremely popular and add a stupendous texture.
• Peel and Stick wood planks /options make set up a breeze!

Our design plan stemmed from the Kohler Design Center, the place that they had lovely clear and easy wooden panels inside their showrooms. So to create this search for this undertaking we used 4×8 sheets of maple veneer sheeting. We then we reduce the sheets down into 4″ planks. From measuring the wall the place the planks could be going we decided that we would wish rather less than 2 sheets of fabric.

Tip: In case you don’t have a desk noticed or round noticed with clamps, you may also get your materials reduce at Residence Depot or your native ironmongery store when you’re a bit nervous about getting your edges completely straight.

2. End Wooden (Reduce, Stain and Seal)

After getting chosen the kind of materials and reduce down your sheets, it’s time to stain. Once more, selecting the colour of the stain depends on the kind of look you’re going for.

For this undertaking, we obtained a customized stain to match the remainder of the trim and woodwork within the residence. We then obtained two further coloration stains, tinting one darker and one lighter than the unique to create dimension inside the design. We additionally customized constructed the vanities inside this reno and matched them completely to the wooden plank wall.

To make this undertaking additional quick you would contemplate making an attempt stain with sealer to get the ending job executed in two-three straightforward coats. We love this brand, or try this brand.

When making use of, you should definitely brush on with the grain to verify the end seems to be nice. Additionally, I do suggest a couple of coat (particularly if that is in a rest room). Between coats you should definitely calmly sand with 220 grit or increased sandpaper, wiping with tack cloths to take away all mud earlier than including your second coat. Sanding between coats vastly improves the graceful manufacturing facility end look of any undertaking.

3. Create Design

As soon as your wooden planks are stained, sealed and dried it’s time to create your design format. Relying on the area of your room will rely upon the size to chop your panels. The secret’s to simply be certain that no piece ever traces up with the one within the row immediately above or under.

Wooden Wall Paneling Sample Concepts:

• Brick Sample
• Herringbone
• Diagonal
• Horizontal
• Vertical
• Diamond

Additionally contemplate that utilizing spacers on the seams can change the look of no matter design you select. You might have to line the again with wooden for this selection.

One of the vital traditional designs is the brick sample, which is what we selected. With this sample every of the rows is offset by a half of the boards width. It’s a timeless format that appears nice in any room and with any materials.

We additionally determined to create a distinct segment inside the plank wall, so after all there was a spot to set the ambiance with some candles or décor. We created the area of interest by eradicating the drywall and framing an oblong piece again in, simply excessive sufficient for excellent placement above the bathtub.

4. Measure and Reduce

After getting created your design format it’s time to measure, reduce and cling. We reduce the boards as we had been putting them up onto the partitions, following our brick stacked sample. To determine our size to chop the boards, we measured the width of the wall and divided it by 3. Relying on the size of your wall it’s possible you’ll have to divide it by extra.

A straightforward approach to be sure you reduce the boards to an equal size each time is to arrange a cease in your miter noticed. Simply bear in mind, the explanation we trimmed boards as we went, is that not all partitions are completely sq., and slicing separately, helps to keep away from gaps.

5. Set up

Our favourite half, watching your design and undertaking all come collectively.

Beginning with a pleasant degree line, we began putting in the primary row of wooden simply above the area of interest, gluing our first board into place with liquid nails. You may as well add a pair end nails with a pin nailer or simply an old school hammer and nails.

Tip: **If utilizing a hammer, you should definitely use a nail set to keep away from damaging the entrance of your superbly completed boards.

Tip: to keep away from giant nail holes a pin nailer is a dream come true.

As a result of this row will likely be carrying a number of the weight of the rows above, it may not be a foul thought to make use of a stud finder so as to add a pair nails to the studs. We then regularly moved up ensuring every board was stalked half approach over the board beneath.

In case you don’t have a distinct segment to fret about, we’d have began on the prime left hand nook. If beginning on the prime, guarantee your ceiling is completely degree. We began above the area of interest as a result of we wished an ideal piece simply above the area of interest as we knew eyes could be drawn there. Wherever you begin simply proceed your design, including one plank at a time and one row at a time and dealing your approach up or down.

Once you get to the highest or backside of the wall, it’s possible you’ll want to chop your boards in half to fill the hole. For this you’d simply use a desk noticed or a round noticed. (however I feel a desk noticed would most likely be best and most secure for wooden this slim.)
