B&Q hack for cheap and beautiful bedroom paneling

[@steverae68]

Yep, did exactly what you did, B&Q - asked to cut 10 mm strips from a 6mm 2440mm board, perfect job 👍

[@FinePineNorwichCarpenter]

Thats the story i wanna hear! Great job ! 💪💪💪 you got it

[@steverae68]

Even the guy in B&Q recommended getting a big board and cut it down, there were people in the queue behind us who them missus took to where the panels were stored to do the same after we told them our plan…. They had 7 packs of the pre- cut packaged stuff in their trolley which they put back immediately… at £18 a pack, they saved a fortune

Great video, such a help for me. I especially like how you responded to all questions. This 65 year old woman is going to give it a go, probably end up glueing myself to the wall! But hey if you don't try you will never know your capabilities!

[@FinePineNorwichCarpenter]

Yes! Give it a go! Thats right! 💪💪💪💪 thats the purpose of these videos. To show you that you can do it too...your comment gave me a smile. Thanks for that noce comment 👍

Excellent video. Thankyou for sharing this tip.

Just an update. I did exactly how you did it in the video and it looks amazing. A quick trip to BnQ and a few hours work. Looks so good. Thanks again!

[@robdodd4591]

Nice work!! I have a bedroom to clear and get plastered soon - and might do a feature wall like this, looks very smart! I just went in BnQ to get 18mm MDF for making an electric cupboard, and got it cut down for free, it makes it easier to transport home :)

[@FinePineNorwichCarpenter]

Thanks Rob, thats it keep up with good work. Good luck boss

[@thebeardedgeek8018]

nice idea Mr, was thinking of doing this from your previous vids

[@spookyncutey4577]

Love it i have the same wall paennelling in my bedroom on the feature wall where my bed lies against its gorgeous however I want to change theme and go more cottage / Scandinavian style and change to a sage green toned panels it is very boho / Scandinavian at the moment with beige walls and chimney pot colored panels (tercaotta). I loved it for the first year and now I've grown old of it ! So I've decided to repaint and theme the whole bedroom , do you remember at all what paint that was you used for these panels and what color ? I love it i seen an inspiration picture on Pinterest and this near enough matches the sage green tone I was envisioning its gorgeous 😍

[@FinePineNorwichCarpenter]

Good luck with your project and here are the colours.....👍 Colours: all names are from Farrow & Ball brand but mixed and used Johnstones paints (much cheaper) Celing - wimbourne white matt emulsion Walls - drop cloth Panel - treron Woodwork - satinwood also wimbourne white

Oh thanks! Good luck with it!

[@Blackthought]

What type of paint are you using to paint the wall and mdf?, Did you prime the mdf beforehand

[@FinePineNorwichCarpenter]

Hey there, So i used johnstones paints. Drop cloth for walls and Treron for panel and inside the panel. All emulsion. I did prime mdf with simplle quick dry woodprimer. These paints originally are Farrow and Ball but johnstones can mix up "the same" colours in their base. Its a simple matter of cost. F&B are so expensive that most of my clients tale the idea of F&B but mix it in cheaper paint. Good luck!

Love your work and hints. I am trying to create a feature wall with the battens placed vertically to the ceiling. I have cut two 6 foot by 3 inch mdf battens to go across the top of the wall. The problem i have encountered is when i drew the level guideline across the wall one side of the wall is 3 inches, another is 3 and a quater inches and the remainder is 3 and a half inches from the ceiling. What would you do in this situation? Your advice would be much appreciated. Thank you

[@FinePineNorwichCarpenter]

Thank you Brenda. Id do aome kind of small wooden beading like picture rail on top it would look good. Good luck!

Hi ! I uses glue called "sticks like s***" you can buy it from b&q or screwfix or toolstation www.diy.com/departments/evo-stik-sticks-like-white-grab-adhesive-290ml/36275_BQ.prd I jave a van and was easy but 2.4 m long tou can still fit in the car just need open window and it ll stick out a bit Cheers

[@zakdaud142]

Im a decorator and want to add this to my services. What should i charge for this type of installation and to paint it thanks!

[@FinePineNorwichCarpenter]

Id say half a day to built it once you have mdf strips ready plus half a day to paint this panel only so id say about £250. But i am fast so you may need more time so about £350 but also i didnt pay for materials as my clients paid for mdf and glues and paints

[@stuartgoodwin7368]

What kind of paint you use m8?

Johnstons matt emulsion. Copy of F&B colours....forgot the names but its in the describtion....💪

My wall is 2600mm wide, and I want to have a dado rail at the top. Do I need to join 2 dado rails together or can I get one long one and cut it?

[@FinePineNorwichCarpenter]

Nice one. I think youd only get 2.4m so probably will need a joint but wood fillerand sand paper can do the magic so you wont see it. Good luck!

Folks, can you get away with not removing the skirting ? My DIY skills are non existent but I want to try my first ‘mission’ but without the hassle of the skirting….. thanks in advance

[@FinePineNorwichCarpenter]

You dont have to remove skirting to do wall panel. You glue the panel just above/on top of the skirting board. 👌 good luck you do that and youre no longer DIYer youre a PRO then 🫡💪💪💪😀

It's not free to get them to cut all the cuts, they give you 5 cuts for free. The rest are 50p per cut...

They changed it and its true they charge now but 50p per cut is still a veru good deal!

B&Q do notdo this anymore. Went in and asked yesterday.

May be your branch stoped cutting sheets, i have 2 branches in norwich and only one branch cuts the sheets. They started to charge for it now, which is fair play. But try different branch 👍

[@jaydidit4205]

Worked for me today in Warrington

[@BenWatson-d8m]

My B&Q said they only offer cutting to get it down to size to fit in your car, not just because you wanted it. Absolutely false advertising and I'm beginning to think my store is just crap. They made a big song and dance about how it is not a cutting service, it is just so you can take the wood home.

[@FinePineNorwichCarpenter]

I think your local B&Q is not that good than. My local one in norwich north cuts as many as you want and i just did another job last month where i actually filmt the man cutting the mdf for my alcove sheleving project. These giys here are good and dont complain about doing loads of cuts....i think they charge 50 pence per cut. Keep up good work anyway brother!

[@adambowery2594]

But that's not 244 in height? Unless you're very tall!!!!

[@FinePineNorwichCarpenter]

You cut the full lenght strips of mdf in the shop and then you cut to your height you like in your bedroom. Thats about 1.4m height
