Measuring the width and height of your wall will help you determine how many vertical and horizontal pieces of molding you’ll need. You will also need to decide on the style of wall molding you want for your accent wall.
To design the layout of your board and batten wall, you’ll need to divide the wall into equal segments using the size of the vertical battens.
Using your wall measurements and the number of vertical battens you’ll need, you can calculate a rough estimate for the overall length of the boards you’ll need.
If the color of your wall is significantly different from the wall molding color you are designing, you may want to prime the blank wall first.
Install all of the pieces according to your design using a brad nailer and a level.
You can use either spackle or wood filler to fill holes in your accent wall. Then give your board and batten wall a fresh coat of paint.
