Earlier than

As you possibly can see, we did a whole overhaul improve of this rest room. The one factor we knew we wished inside this design was the wooden plank wall. We wished to create an area to really feel like a spa, a peaceful setting by bringing in earthy tones and textures.

The simplest strategy to convey heat and depth into any house is through the use of wooden supplies. So we determined that we have been going to create a big wooden wall, centered proper behind a stupendous free standing tub to create this expertise. So let’s get began!

Step one to any rest room rework as you already know is demo. We utterly gutted all the room which you’ll learn extra about here.

As soon as we demo’d all the house 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 various kinds of wooden and nice choices you possibly can select from, so it finally comes all the way down to the look of the house 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 keep in mind that even reclaimed wooden could be planed down to look new and recent in case 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 possibility for shiplap, you will have to create it like this tutorial reveals you do.
• Slat partitions are very talked-about 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 clean wooden panels inside their showrooms. So to create this search for this venture we used 4×8 sheets of maple veneer sheeting. We then we lower 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: For those who don’t have a desk noticed or round noticed with clamps, it’s also possible to get your materials lower at Dwelling Depot or your native ironmongery store in case 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 lower 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 venture, we acquired a customized stain to match the remainder of the trim and woodwork within the residence. We then acquired two extra coloration stains, tinting one darker and one lighter than the unique to create dimension throughout the design. We additionally customized constructed the vanities inside this reno and matched them completely to the wooden plank wall.

To make this venture further quick you can contemplate attempting stain with sealer to get the ending job finished in two-three straightforward coats. We love this brand, or try this brand.

When making use of, you’ll want to brush on with the grain to verify the end appears to be like nice. Additionally, I do advocate multiple coat (particularly if that is in a rest room). Between coats you’ll want to flippantly sand with 220 grit or larger sandpaper, wiping with tack cloths to take away all mud earlier than including your second coat. Sanding between coats significantly improves the sleek manufacturing facility end look of any venture.

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 house of your room will rely upon the size to chop your panels. The secret is to simply be sure that no piece ever traces up with the one within the row straight above or beneath.

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 feature.

Probably the most basic 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 throughout the plank wall, so in fact 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, lower and grasp. We lower the boards as we have 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 you could have to divide it by extra.

A simple strategy to be sure to lower the boards to an equal size each time is to arrange a cease in your miter noticed. Simply remember, the rationale we trimmed boards as we went, is that not all partitions are completely sq., and chopping one by one, helps to keep away from gaps.

5. Set up

Our favourite half, watching your design and venture 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 too can add a pair end nails with a pin nailer or simply an old school hammer and nails.

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

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

As a result of this row will probably be carrying among the weight of the rows above, it may not be a nasty concept 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 manner over the board beneath.

For those who don’t have a distinct segment to fret about, we might have began on the high left hand nook. If beginning on the high, 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 manner up or down.

While you get to the highest or backside of the wall, you could want to chop your boards in half to fill the hole. For this you’ll simply use a desk noticed or a round noticed. (however I believe a desk noticed would most likely be best and most secure for wooden this slender.)

After
