How To: The Paneled Wall

Thanks for all of the love on my stepson’s new paneled wall!  We just love it, and so does he!

Ok, now on to the tutorial.  I have to give a special thanks to Rambling Renovators first and foremost for the inspiration behind this project.  If you haven’t checked out their paneled wall yet, you must do that.  They even went the extra step and added some pretty trim to each of the boards.  I LOVE the look.  We didn’t add any trim to our version so it’s a little more modern for the boy’s room, but both styles look great!

THE STEPS:

1st: Since there is no need to change what’s already a good thing, I used RR’s measurements for the boards and had them cut the same width.  I bought 2, 4×8 sheets of MDF a 1/2 inch thick at Home Depot for $20 each, and had them cut the sheets into 4 inch wide, 8ft long strips for me.

NOTE: If I were to do this again, I would splurge and buy primed MDF to cut back the painting time a little.  I’m not sure if the primed MDF is sold in big sheets like this, but I would think so?

2nd: Paint your wall white, or whatever color you will be doing this BEFORE you add the boards. Trust me. :)  You should also lightly sand the boards so they are very smooth and clean up any rough edges. And if you want to be super efficient, you could paint your boards before you nail them up too.  I didn’t do that of course. :)

3rd: I made a frame around the wall with the boards first, and just nailed them up with the nail gun.

4th: Then me and my husband measured the wall and marked the center, and nailed a board up. We thought it would be easier this way to figure out the rest of the sizes of the boxes. But I’m not sure if that was the easiest way or not…

5th: Now this is the fun part. And I swear, if “Dumb and Dumber” had a sequel, me and hubby could have the starring roles.  For this part, you need to do some math (or just keep measuring over and over and over like we did) and figure out the spacing for your next vertical boards.  I’ve never really done that math formula that is out there to figure out spacing of boxes–that is why my Dad usually plugs all of that into his drafting program.  But my Dad wasn’t lucky enough to work on this project, so D&D got er’ done by the grace of God.  Somehow, we got them all spaced correctly. And that’s all I can really say about this step. :)

6th: And for this step, you again need to figure out where you want your next smaller pieces to fit to make the “boxes.”  And again with God’s help, we spaced them out correctly. :)  This is the part where you decide if you want squares, rectangles, lots of boxes, not a lot of boxes, etc, etc.  We chose a smaller row up top and on bottom, so we would have big rectangles in the middle.  My husband used our miter saw to cut all of the pieces of MDF to fit in between the vertical boards.

7th: And when everything is all nailed up, all you have to do now is caulk all of the seams and spackle the nail holes.  You will want to lightly sand your nail holes when finished.

8th: Then paint!  I painted about 4 coats of a white semi-gloss (SW Navajo White, our trim color in the house).  The first coat I used the small foam roller, and for the 2nd coat I used a brush.  Then switched back to the foam roller.  I’d use just the roller next time around so you don’t have to worry about brush strokes.

And if you are curious about the MDF sticking out from the baseboards because it is 1/2 thick, yes it does overlap a bit but it surprisingly doesn’t bother me.  I’m not going to let our wimpy 1/4 inch baseboards prevent me from adding chunky molding anymore. :)  And since no one will be looking at this particular wall from a side view, it really does not matter at all.

And as we look back, this is what the wall looked like before…

And after!

Not bad for $40 right?? :)  I still have a few areas I need to touch up but nothing major. Just a few nail holes that I didn’t sand well enough before I painted.

You CAN do this!!  I am totally jealous of my stepson’s room now. I want it in ours. :)

More progress to come in his room!

I hope I covered everything, and hope you like it!

        Hi, I am redesigning my son’s room and want to do wood panels on the wall. I am completely torn between the following decisions and really hoping you can help. I actually asked the question on Houzz and people urged me not to do wood panelilng, suggesting that most people are trying to get rid of it rather than install it. Do you feel that is accurate? I am so confused as I am always drawn to wood paneling in homes and love it in the magazines for Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware. Also, we live by the beach so I feel it really goes with the cape style of our home and neighborhood. So here are my questions….
        -horizontal or vertical wide planks?
        -is paneling like your pic too mature for a 12 year old boy?
        -all 4 walls or just one?
        I would LOVE to see the finished product of your son’s room with the furniture to get a sense of the overall look.
        Please help. Thank you!

    Emily, you made this look so so easy! Your D&D comment cracks me up because that’s how my husband and I are. Seriously, he’s a math nerd and he always cuts stuff TOO short! LOL! :)

    • Decorchick! says

      March 15, 2011 at 10:01 am

      Haha, I hate math!! I think we really stood at that wall for 2 hours measuring and re-measuring until we got it to work. Arghh!

    Love! I’m getting really inspired to try out some molding in my home too!Can’t wait to see how you will use this wall!

  6. Karen says

    March 15, 2011 at 11:39 am

    I love that wall! It turned out fantastic. Please tell us why you chose not to use liquid nails………… My hubby doesn’t want us to do any type of board and batten because of the liquid nails and what it will do to the walls ~ if we ever want to remove it. :(

    • Decorchick! says

      March 15, 2011 at 1:04 pm

      Hey Karen–I’ve never used liquid nails just for that reason. I think it would damage the wall if you ever do want to take something down, so that’s why I just nail things in. :) And if you nail into the studs, there’s no need to use any liquid nails. Hope that helps!

  7. Amanda says

    March 15, 2011 at 12:26 pm

    I am so inspired! Not sure if I have the patience for FOUR coats of paint, but I’ll try!

    • Decorchick! says

      March 15, 2011 at 1:05 pm

      That’s why I’d go for the already primed MDF if I ever do this again. :)

    Here’s a lingering question that I’ve had: when you say you had the pieces cut at Home Depot what does that really mean? I mean, I know the answer seems obvious, but I’ve never seen anyone at Home Depot waiting to cut my pieces. Do you bring them a cut sheet? Do they charge to cut it? I’m mystified!

    • Decorchick! says

      March 15, 2011 at 6:55 pm

      Hey Sara–I just usually ask one of the employees there to cut it for me and tell them what measurements I need. Since I bought the material there, they just take it down for me from the shelf (because it’s heavy), and then take it to the back where their big saws are. They even loaded all of this up into my truck! It was a lot of pieces. They say that they charge per cut, but I’ve never been charged. I think a certain number of cuts are free, but then they are “supposed” to charge you if you pass a certain amount. But I’ve never had a problem. You can also get your material cut at Lowe’s also. :)

      • KellyP. says

        March 22, 2011 at 11:18 am

        PS on the wood cutting, send your husband to the other side of the store when you ask. Anytime my husband or father comes with me, they charge for the extra cuts, but not when I’m by myself.

  10. Sarah T says

    March 15, 2011 at 2:59 pm

    How did you decide on the pattern to use (placement of vertical and horizontal boards)? I’ve seen some walls with just tall rectangular “boards” between the “battens.” Then I’ve seen some with small squares like you’ve done. Are either characteristic of a certain house style?

    • Decorchick! says

      March 15, 2011 at 6:59 pm

      Hey Sarah–We just kind of eyeballed what we thought looked pleasing to us. There’s no right or wrong way to do it–you can do what you like. But since I loved Jen’s version (which I linked to at the top of the post) so much, we kind of just went off that pattern with a few changes but not many. Just do what you think looks good! :)

    March 15, 2011 at 3:42 pm

    I’m so excited!! I now FINALLY know what I’m going to do with this massive, bare, white wall I have in our pool table room. Thank you so much for sharing this great idea!

    OMG you have to come see my post today , too funny …I thought I was looking at my wall for a second…

  22. Divaonline says

    March 16, 2011 at 11:44 am

    Just loved this! I’m passionate about molding too and created a paneled headboard for my master bedroom using MDF. I added beveled molding within all the rectangles. It was my first project using MDF. I’d submit a photo but I guess I’m too late for your posting. If you do something like this in the future here’s a couple of tips from what I learned – 1) Do a mock up of the way you want your finished wall to look on the computer. You don’t need a special drafting program. I used Photoshop. The page grid helped me with the measurements so I could see if my spaces were all equal. It helped avoid mistakes in cutting and positioning. I had a rough blueprint of what it was going to look like before I started. 2) I avoided that overlap of the MDF sheet and existing baseboard by attaching a strip of molding at the bottom of the wall. On one edge, it was the same thickness as the base molding and on the other, 1/2″ wide, so it blended the two elements together. And YES I agree with you – Paint Everything First! When you’re done constructing the wall, you’ll only need to touch up. Enjoyed your instructions and photos!

  23. Becky says

    March 17, 2011 at 10:21 am

    Does this only work with smooth finish walls, or would it be OK with textured walls? I didn’t see any comments about this.

    • Decorchick! says

      March 19, 2011 at 10:47 am

      Becky, my walls are textured. Any time I add any molding to places around the house I just paint everything white in a semi-gloss to give the appearance of wainscoting. It’s not the “real” stuff of course, but works for me! :)

    March 17, 2011 at 9:22 pm

    This looks really fantastic! My husband did something similar in our bathroom. He used nails initially and then found that he could use LePage’s No More Nails and it held the MDF just as well. It made the job go faster and there weren’t any nail holes to fill. I can’t wait to see more!

    I noticed in the “Teal is the new white” blog that your stepsons walls are textured. Did you do anything special to the walls before the paneling? How does it look so smooth? I’ve been dying to try batten board paneling at our new house, but didn’t know how to do it with textured walls.

    looks good. just curious….why not take the baseboard off the wall, and get a primed mdf board that equals the width of your paneling (4″ + height or your baseboard) If you have a Menards in your neck of the woods, they have tons of pre-primed MDF boards in 4 – 8 widths up to 12 ft long for pretty cheap. Nail that to the wall, put your baseboard back on, and bingo, you’ve got a 4inch panel on the bottom plus your baseboard is now facing front, and not sitting underneath your paneling leaving you with an overhang. its a few extra steps, but would be the more “gramatically correct” way of paneling. I’ve never seen someone set paneling on top of baseboard that had a tapered edge on the top. not trying to bag on your paneled wall, (it looks good BTW) just something I took note of that was missing from your instructions.

    • Decorchick! says

      April 12, 2011 at 9:24 pm

      Hey Tim–no prob. We don’t have Menard’s here unfortunately. I did say in the post though that I didn’t want to remove the baseboards and add chunky ones because I’d have to do that to all of the baseboards and other trim. I’m ok with it sticking out a tad–doesn’t bother me. :)

    Decorchick,
    Which solution do you like better – the thicker mdf board in this room or the lattice strips in your game room? Since you’ve tried them both, which do you think looks best? I’m leaning toward the heftier mdf.

    • Decorchick! says

      October 12, 2011 at 12:39 pm

      I like the thicker mdf for sure. I’ve even been thinking of redoing the b&b in the gameroom to the chunkier stuff. :)

    I love it! Besides all the joints, did you also caulk where the boards meet the wall? That would seem like a lot of caulking. If you did, do you have a trick to make it look good?

    I have LOVED this post (and the original idea by Rambling Renovators) so much that I bookmarked this page even before I bought my house! I really wanted to do this so much, but my contractor told me that it will be a good deal of effort. Teri, can you please tell me how much time this took for you? I am pondering whether to do it by myself at a later point, or just do the picture framing that my Contractor is recommending, which will be much less effort for him (and hence will be cheaper for me overall). I must mention at this point that I am not a very “handy” person, so will be difficult for me to do this by myself.
    Thank you again for a great post!

    • Decorchick! says

      June 9, 2013 at 3:05 pm

      I have to say this was a very easy project! It will require him to do some math for it, but that’s about it. Maybe math isn’t his strong suite? ;)

      I think that would look cute. Is there any way you could paint the oak door and baseboard white as well?

      • J. says

        July 23, 2013 at 2:31 pm

        My wife suggested that we paint the baseboards and doors white, but I really REALLY want to avoid that at all costs. I really hate to take away from the natural wood color. We’re having such a hard time picturing this because the walls in the room right now are all blue.

    Curious how did you get your Home Depot to cut your board? I was in my Home Depot this afternoon and asked someone in their lumber section about cutting and they said they don’t do it because of accuracy and liability.

    The math for dividing spaces is simple. Your method for dividing the wall from the center out is fine. The same math works equally well. Take the open space and subtract the total width of each board to be added. Then divide by the number of spaces desired. Soooo if you have a 96″ wall already framed out on the edges with 1 x 4 you would subtract 7 1/2 from 96. Leaving 88 1/2. If you need 4 open spaces you’ll have to add three more 1 x 4’s. Add the total width of the three 1 x 4, s to get 9 3/4. Since our space is now 88 1/2 we subtract 9 3/4 from that, leaving 78 3/4. Divide that by 4 and you will get your “on center” measurement, as measured from the inside edge of the border 1 x 4. (The result would be close to 19 and 5/8).

    This is just using trim to make this look? You dont use any kind of wood panel in the boxes you made?

    To facilitate that, quiet vibrators have been made.
    A common challenge that is often overlooked when buying a vibrator, specifically expensive kinds,
    is how nicely they are looked following when the fun is above.
    Many people see vibrators and dildos as a way of increasing eroticism and bringing a touch of excitement in sex.

    do not talk about such topics. To the next! Cheers!!

    Several people have asked about the textured wall. Did your wall have texture or was it already smooth? That is my biggest concern. Any suggestions or does the orange peel texture still look ok?
    Glenda

    • Decorchick! says

      July 23, 2016 at 11:01 pm

      Hi Glenda, I have mentioned in the comments previously several times that yes my walls are textured. So when you paint it white, you will still see the texture unfortunately. But it’s still better to me to have it white and have the look I want, since there is not much I can do about all of the texture on our walls. :)

2 months later, and it’s still hard. So very har 2 months later, and it’s still hard. So very hard. It is the strangest, most emptiest feeling one could have, and one that not everyone understands.

Tonight was the 3rd griefshare meeting that I’ve attended, and that does help to be around others who have lost someone close. But it is also so painful hearing their stories. And it’s a night during the week that I’m forced to think about how he’s no longer here. It’s helped me to realize all of the thoughts and actions we have are normal, and the things we do that are odd to others, are actually part of the process.

I haven’t been able to wear these shirts of his yet (he wore them every single day. The red one was his “fancy” one), but I’m glad I have them. It’s just really crappy I can’t see him in them any longer. 💔

This is a pain like no other. I watched him take This is a pain like no other.

I watched him take his final breath at 7:24 this morning. The scent of him is still so palpable.

Gone too soon, and years stolen from his wife and grandkids.

We live in the same small neighborhood, right around the corner on the next street. Now the girls can’t ride their 4-wheelers to go see him. We can’t just swing by to pick him up. He can’t go on our walks anymore. There are lots of no-longers, and it is crushing my heart.

Who am I going to call now when I have a question on how to fix something? He had a solution for everything usually saving us hundreds of dollars. Everything was fixable to him, rather than hiring someone. And often he would find the answer on YouTube.

Who am I going to text with when the Astros make a good or bad play during the next World Series?

I want to hear his voice again. I want to go over and cut his hair again. I want to make him another pie for his birthday and Father’s Day.

It hurts so much.

I love you Daddy.
