As you’ll be able to see, we did a whole overhaul improve of this rest room. The one factor we knew we needed inside this design was the wooden plank wall. We needed to create an area to really feel like a spa, a relaxed atmosphere by bringing in earthy tones and textures.

The best technique to deliver heat and depth into any house is by utilizing wooden supplies. So we determined that we had been going to create a big wooden wall, centered proper behind a ravishing free standing tub to create this expertise. So let’s get began!

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

As soon as we demo’d your complete 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 several types of wooden and nice choices you’ll be able to 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 think about:

• Reclaimed Wooden – this may be Pallet wooden, or aged fence pickets, no matter you’re keen on the look of and keep in mind that even reclaimed wooden may be planed down to seem new and recent in case you don’t love the aged or rustic look that has that barn wooden type..
• Shiplap – made widespread 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 will have to create it like this tutorial reveals you learn how to do.
• Slat partitions are extremely popular and add a ravishing 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 stunning clear and easy wooden panels inside their showrooms. So to create this search for this challenge we used 4×8 sheets of maple veneer sheeting. We then we minimize 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: When you don’t have a desk noticed or round noticed with clamps, you can even get your materials minimize at Residence Depot or your native ironmongery shop in case you’re somewhat nervous about getting your edges completely straight.

2. End Wooden (Reduce, Stain and Seal)

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

For this challenge, we received a customized stain to match the remainder of the trim and woodwork within the house. We then received two extra colour 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 challenge additional quick you would contemplate making an attempt stain with sealer to get the ending job performed in two-three simple coats. We love this brand, or try this brand.

When making use of, make sure to brush on with the grain to ensure the end seems to be nice. Additionally, I do advocate a couple of coat (particularly if that is in a toilet). Between coats make sure to calmly 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 vastly improves the sleek manufacturing facility end look of any challenge.

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 bottom line is to simply make sure that no piece ever strains up with the one within the row instantly 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 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, minimize and cling. We minimize the boards as we had been inserting 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 might have to divide it by extra.

A straightforward technique to be sure to minimize 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 one after the other, helps to keep away from gaps.

5. Set up

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

Beginning with a pleasant stage 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 also add a pair end nails with a pin nailer or simply an old school hammer and nails.

Tip: **If utilizing a hammer, make sure to use a nail set to keep away from damaging the entrance of your fantastically completed boards.

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

As a result of this row shall be carrying among the weight of the rows above, it may not be a nasty thought to make use of a stud finder so as to add a pair nails to the studs. We then steadily moved up ensuring every board was stalked half manner over the board beneath.

When you don’t have a distinct segment to fret about, we might have began on the prime left hand nook. If beginning on the prime, guarantee your ceiling is completely stage. We began above the area of interest as a result of we needed 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.

If you get to the highest or backside of the wall, you might 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 in all probability be best and most secure for wooden this slender.)
