EASY DIY Beadboard Wall

Adding beautiful architectural interest to your home not only adds value, but also makes your home yours. Clearly, there are many ways you can add details to your home that create character. I've always been drawn to styles and looks that create a sense of history, that make it feel like it's been around for decades. Personally, I believe adding traditional beadboard wainscoting not only adds cottage charm to any room, but also creates a sense of history.
We have updated every space in our home except the laundry room, so this is the year! The space of the laundry room is not bad, but the finishes never reflected me or my tastes. From the florescent light fixture to the laminate and oak cabinets, it all needs to go.
My plan it not only to update the laundry room, but also create an area for jackets, coats and shoes. Actually, creating a mini mudroom within the laundry room.
For phase one of this makeover, we will begin with the long wall to the right when you enter the laundry room. I feel like this is the perfect space to create hanging storage.
My first thought was to create a board and batten wall. But I feel like that's not really the style of my home.
So, as I thought about it a bit more, I thought a traditional beadboard wainscoting would be more fitting for my home.
Adding a traditional beadboard wainscoting it really not that difficult. In fact, Steph and I were able to complete it in an afternoon.
You'll find a list of materials and tools we used below.

Pro-Tip: to make the installation easier. We had each beadboard panel cut at The Home Depot to the height we needed, 5 feet.
Pro-Tip: Purchasing primed boards will save you time.
Personally, I love this wall! It totally changes the feel of my laundry room. Now, if I were to turn the camera the opposite direction, it would look the same, but the right side of my room looks amazing.
Not only is this wall beautiful now, but it's also functional. When we come in through the garage, we now have a place to hang our coats, jackets and bags. Yeah!!!
I can't wait until the shoe storage is in place too.

Do you love the look of cottage core? Have you installed bead board wainscoting in your home? What do you think of our make-shift mudroom storage in our laundry room? We'd love to hear from you!

[@sonogramgrl]

YASSSS!!! Exactly what I want. Pretty wallpaper on top, and tall wainscoting with hooks on the bottom.

[@2thesunnyside]

Yay! We're so glad you found our video! We know how it is to hunt for a specific idea and not find it! Are you planning to do this in your home? Which room?

[@ashleywilczynski2921]

[@dominickmamone6196]

[@Lisa-oz1lv]

You ladies never disappoint! you are both sooo talented. This wall treatment looks stunning. Will be doing this in my laundry room too. Thanks.!!!

[@2thesunnyside]

You're so sweet Lisa, thank you! It's crazy how much better her laundry room looks just having that one wall finished! And there's nothing better than a quick and easy DIY!

[@lauram.6214]

Is there a video of them hanging the wallpaper?

[@2thesunnyside]

Yep here's the video 🙌🏻 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYLbf4OfiL18hcU

[@user-qx8ei1sj1n]

Looks fantastic! I love the coat hangers. What height did you make the bead boas from floor to top line?

[@2thesunnyside]

You're so sweet! Thank you! That's a great question. After a quick measure, it's 5'

[@ginalemasters1181]

What did you cap the wainscoting with?

[@2thesunnyside]

It was a piece of common mdf board about 2" wide. Thanks for watching!

[@LinzseyslilPad]

What is that beautiful wallpaper?

[@2thesunnyside]

Photowall. I just sent a link with your other question. Hope that helps.

[@LinzseyslilPad]

It does. I’ve seen this website before but your video convinced me to try it. Mural simply gorgeous. I’m also trying the larger chair rail with hooks above my bead board. Thanks for posting!
