Idea to create a living space highlight
Wooden accent walls are being chosen by many families to refresh the space. This design style creates visual depth and makes the room more cozy.
According to practical experience, the wall after completion can become the center of the living room or bedroom. In this case, the performer chooses the dark Equestrian Green paint color of Behr to create contrast with the remaining wall panels.
Ms. Emily Henderson - an interior designer in the US - said that wooden mesh walls are a simple solution to upgrade the space without major renovations. According to her, using dark paint on a wall panel helps increase the depth effect significantly.
Steps to construct wooden walls at home
Before construction, it is necessary to accurately measure the size of the wall and sketch the layout. This helps determine the number of wooden planks to be used and limit deviations when installing. Basic materials include pine wood planks, specialized glue, complete nails, gap filling powder and wall paint.
The first step is to install the outer frame. The wooden bars are cut at the appropriate angle and securely fixed to the wall with glue and nails.
Then, install the wooden bars inside in a mesh form. The vertical and horizontal bars are divided equally to create a balanced layout.
When the frame is completed, surface treatment is carried out. The nail holes are sealed and the gaps between the wood and the wall are flattened with specialized materials. Then, the entire surface is scrubbed to achieve smoothness.
The final step is finishing paint. Usually two layers of paint are needed to ensure even coverage and color resistance over time.
When completed, the wooden wall creates a clear visual effect, helping the space have depth and stronger accents. The project is suitable for beginners and can be completed in one to two weekend days if prepared well.
Ms. Emily Henderson believes that self-made projects like this help homeowners proactively personalize their living space, while significantly saving costs compared to professional renovation.
