Here, we present an simple as well as contemporary method of building as well as installing panelling. We “filled in” the wooden-trim-edged panels with bright material – a fantastic alternate to an upholstered wall.
To truly jazz up this room, we’ve done it in a soft cranberry-red floral, with swaths of warm material – it’s a softer handle the typically hard-edged look of wood panelling.
The expense of each panelling job will depend upon the size of the space being panelled in addition to the costs of the materials you choose. To keep costs low, run panelling only to chair-rail height instead of full ceiling height, choose less elaborate mouldings or select affordable fabric.
For this project, material is “framed” with painted moulding to produce a panelled effect. By painting the frames cream as well as the wall a lighter shade of the red in the fabric, the material panels truly stand out. variations on this look include painting the frames a darker shade of the colour utilized on the wall, or, with white walls, painting the frame a shade similar to the fabric.

Step 1: identify panel size as well as placement
Determine the dimensions as well as placement of your panels, with your space size as well as ceiling height in mind. Ours were 6′ x 2-1/2′ on an 8′ h. wall. We spaced the panels 1′ apart. change these dimensions to fit your room.
Step 2: select material as well as moulding
Choose material (we selected a quite floral pattern) to coordinate with your room’s decor. If you want to repaint your walls, do this now. For the frames, choose decorative wooden mouldings.

With a pencil, mark the inner as well as outer edges of the moulding frame on your wall. utilize a level as well as T-square to guarantee best angles as well as even horizontal as well as vertical placement.
Step 4: cut as well as connect material to wall
Cut material pieces larger than the inside dimensions of the frame however smaller than the outside edge. Spray adhesive onto the back of each piece of material as well as connect it to the wall within marked lines. Smooth out any type of air pockets from the centre of the fabric, moving outside (much like you would with wallpaper).
Step 5: paint as well as cut moulding
For each frame, utilize a saw as well as mitre box to cut four pieces of moulding to the suitable lengths with ends cut at 45° angles. paint each piece as well as enable to dry.
Step 6: connect moulding to wall
To connect the moulding to the wall, apply daubs of panelling adhesive 1′ apart along the back of each strip. setting them on the wall, staying within penciled recommendation marks. when each frame is connected to the wall with adhesive, strengthen with 1-1/2″ completing nails, countersunk at 1’ intervals all around.
Step 7: Touch up frames
Touch up any type of spaces at mitred corners, as well as fill nail holes with caulking. when caulking is dry, utilize paint to touch up frames where you have utilized caulking.
