How to create diy board and batten wall panelling posted on 1st august 2019 as a highly impulsive person who isn t always great at forward planning i write this tutorial knowing full well i should have prepared for it more and taken more photos along the way.
I m sharing my tutorial for this over at the apron blog.
We added this diy board and batten paneling to our entry hall when we first moved in and i loved it so much that we now have it in our master bedroom floor to ceiling and in our dining room.
Since wainscoting is usually easy to care for and clean this is a great addition to your entryway mudroom or dining room.
I placed my middle board 45 25 from the ground.
Any decorative molding such as an egg and dart would work well.
I decided to use a 1 8 inch panel of utility board or hardboard as the backing for my paneling.
I added a bit of panel adhesive to each board and attached them using my stapler.
I started with 5 5 boards for the baseboards and then used 3 5 boards for the center and top board.
This simple diy board and batten wainscoting project adds tons of character to your home.
Make sure to use a level on this part.
