Earlier than

As you’ll be able to 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 relaxed setting by bringing in earthy tones and textures.

The best technique to carry heat and depth into any area is through the use of wooden supplies. So we determined that we had 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!

Supplies:

Step one to any rest room transform as is demo. We fully gutted the whole room which you’ll learn extra about here.

As soon as we demo’d the whole area 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 in the end comes right down to the look of the area 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 like the look of and keep in mind that even reclaimed wooden will be planed down to look new and recent when you don’t love the aged or rustic look that has that barn wooden type..
• Shiplap – made fashionable 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 searching for a stained wooden choice for shiplap, you will have to create it like this tutorial exhibits you the right way to do.
• Slat partitions are extremely popular 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 stunning clear and easy wooden panels inside their showrooms. So to create this search for this mission 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: When you don’t have a desk noticed or round noticed with clamps, you may as well get your materials lower at Residence Depot or your native ironmongery shop when you’re just a little nervous about getting your edges completely straight.

2. End Wooden (Lower, Stain and Seal)

After you have chosen the kind of materials and lower 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 mission, we received a customized stain to match the remainder of the trim and woodwork within the residence. We then received two extra 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 mission further quick you might contemplate making an attempt stain with sealer to get the ending job finished in two-three simple 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 multiple coat (particularly if that is in a toilet). Between coats be sure you evenly sand with 220 grit or greater sandpaper, wiping with tack cloths to take away all mud earlier than including your second coat. Sanding between coats drastically improves the graceful manufacturing facility end look of any mission.

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 area of your room will depend upon the size to chop your panels. The secret’s to simply be sure that no piece ever traces up with the one within the row immediately 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 must line the again with wooden for this selection.

One of the crucial 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 excellent placement above the bathtub.

4. Measure and Lower

After you have created your design format it’s time to measure, lower and dangle. We lower the boards as we had 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 chances are you’ll must divide it by extra.

A simple technique to be sure you 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 reducing one by one, helps to keep away from gaps.

5. Set up

Our favourite half, watching your design and mission 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, be sure you use a nail set to keep away from damaging the entrance of your superbly completed boards.

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

As a result of this row might be carrying a few of the weight of the rows above, it won’t be a foul 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 approach over the board beneath.

When you don’t have a distinct segment to fret about, we’d have began on the prime left hand nook. If beginning on the prime, 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 approach up or down.

If 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’ll simply use a desk noticed or a round noticed. (however I feel a desk noticed would most likely be best and most secure for wooden this slender.)

After

And right here it’s! Our completed wooden plank panel wall! What do you suppose? You bought this, proper?!

The toilet is usually the place you begin and finish your day, so it solely is smart that you’d need a lovely area with impeccable inside design to set your temper.
