Earlier than

As you’ll be able to see, we did an entire 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 peaceful setting by bringing in earthy tones and textures.

The best strategy to carry 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 lovely free standing tub to create this expertise. So let’s get began!

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

As soon as we demo’d the 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 various kinds 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 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 could be planed down to look new and contemporary in case you don’t love the aged or rustic look that has that barn wooden model..
• 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. In case you are on the lookout for a stained wooden possibility for shiplap, you could have to create it like this tutorial exhibits you how one can do.
• Slat partitions are very talked-about and add a lovely texture.
• Peel and Stick wood planks /options make set up a breeze!

Our design plan stemmed from the Kohler Design Center, the place they’d 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 minimize the sheets down into 4″ planks. From measuring the wall the place the planks can be going we decided that we would want 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 minimize at Residence Depot or your native ironmongery shop in case you’re slightly nervous about getting your edges completely straight.

2. End Wooden (Lower, Stain and Seal)

Upon getting chosen the kind of materials and minimize 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 dwelling. We then acquired two further shade 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 carried out in two-three straightforward coats. We love this brand, or try this brand.

When making use of, be sure you brush on with the grain to ensure the end appears to be like nice. Additionally, I do advocate a couple of coat (particularly if that is in a toilet). Between coats be sure you 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 tremendously improves the sleek manufacturing unit 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 on the size to chop your panels. The hot button is to simply be certain 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. Chances are you’ll have to line the again with wooden for this feature.

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 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 good placement above the bathtub.

4. Measure and Lower

Upon getting created your design format it’s time to measure, minimize and hold. We minimize the boards as we have 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 chances are you’ll have to divide it by extra.

A straightforward strategy to ensure you minimize 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 after the other, helps to keep away from gaps.

5. Set up

Our favourite half, watching your design and venture 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. It’s also possible to add a pair end nails with a pin nailer or simply an old school hammer and nails.

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

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

As a result of this row can be carrying among the weight of the rows above, it won’t be a nasty 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 method over the board beneath.

In case 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 can 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 method up or down.

While you get to the highest or backside of the wall, chances are 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 believe a desk noticed would most likely be best and most secure for wooden this slim.)
