The process
1. Visualize it
Start by having a crystal-clear vision of what you want your space to look like. Sometimes sketching it down may work.
2. Measure your wall
We do highly recommend measuring the wall using a tap measure accurately to the width and height of the wall and then double-check.
3. Sand and smooth your wall if necessary
We do highly recommend using an electric sander for best results.
4. Choose your favorite color and wall panel style
5. Cut the panels
Decide how much you want to decorate depending on the size of your wall since the panels may vary in dimensions.
6. Installation
Decide if you are keeping the baseboard top and frames then proceed to install the slat panels with a level to ensure it is straight. Apply the liquid nail or silicone (whatever you prefer). Press down and leave to dry.
7. Fill in any gaps.
Voila! You just made the perfect accent wall you were dreaming of.
