Earlier than

As you possibly can see, we did a whole overhaul improve of this lavatory. 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 surroundings by bringing in earthy tones and textures.

The simplest option to carry heat and depth into any house is by utilizing wooden supplies. So we determined that we have been going to create a big wooden wall, centered proper behind a good looking free standing tub to create this expertise. So let’s get began!

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

As soon as we demo’d the whole 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 possibly can select from, so it finally comes right 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 could be planed down to seem new and contemporary for those who don’t love the aged or rustic look that has that barn wooden model..
• Shiplap – made well-liked 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 might have to create it like this tutorial reveals you learn how to do.
• Slat partitions are highly regarded and add a good looking 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 clean 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: If you happen to don’t have a desk noticed or round noticed with clamps, it’s also possible to get your materials minimize at House Depot or your native ironmongery store for those who’re a bit nervous about getting your edges completely straight.

2. End Wooden (Minimize, 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 depends 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 dwelling. We then received two extra coloration 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 further quick you would take into account making an attempt stain with sealer to get the ending job executed 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 verify the end appears nice. Additionally, I do suggest a couple of coat (particularly if that is in a rest room). Between coats make sure to calmly 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 significantly improves the sleek manufacturing unit 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 structure. Relying on the house of your room will rely on the size to chop your panels. The bottom line is to simply make sure that no piece ever traces up with the one within the row straight above or under.

Wooden Wall Paneling Sample Concepts:

• Brick Sample
• Herringbone
• Diagonal
• Horizontal
• Vertical
• Diamond

Additionally take into account that utilizing spacers on the seams can change the look of no matter design you select. You could have to line the again with wooden for this feature.

One of the crucial 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 structure 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 Minimize

After getting created your design structure it’s time to measure, minimize and grasp. 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 option 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 rationale we trimmed boards as we went, is that not all partitions are completely sq., and reducing separately, 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 giant nail holes a pin nailer is a dream come true.

As a result of this row shall be carrying a few of the weight of the rows above, it won’t be a foul concept to make use of a stud finder so as to add a pair nails to the studs. We then progressively moved up ensuring every board was stalked half approach over the board beneath.

If you happen to don’t have a distinct segment to fret about, we’d have began on the high left hand nook. If beginning on the high, guarantee your ceiling is completely stage. 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.

Once 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 feel a desk noticed would most likely be best and most secure for wooden this slim.)
