Create A Wood Slat Accent Wall On A Budget With This DIY Idea
By CYNTHIA ANAYA
If you're a seasoned DIYer, consider installing a wood slat accent wall in your home. For under $20, provided you have the right tools, you can create a unique, staggering effect.
Decide on the type of wood strips you want to use. Furring strips, cut between 1 foot and 3 feet, may be best, but you can cut them shorter or longer, depending on your needs.
Sand the strips’ front-facing side and edges, and apply your stain. Once they’re dry, nail them to your wall, starting at the top, flush with the edge, and working your way down.
Use a spacer to determine how wide you want the space between each strip to be and a torpedo level between each strip. Attach each strip to the wall using brad nails and a hammer.
