How to create slat wall panelling- for beginners- full tutorial.

As you may know from my social media pages I love panelling! I wanted my dressing room to look more feminine and a slat wall was a must. We created our DIY slat wall for a very cheap price. The panels come in packs of 10 for £26 (pre cut)! What a bargain! Budget panelling all the way.
This is really easy to do and is perfect for beginners as well as more established DIYers.

Well done looks great 👏👏

[@MazvitaRaphael]

Thank you so much you have just helped me decide on the final set up of my beauty room. Thank you 😊

[@our_home_style_]

Sorry I’ve only just seen this. Glad to hear it and hope it went well x

[@kimberleydemetriayates-ble3002]

Hi this is really useful thank you, every other video I have watched says to caulk the edges - did you not do this?

[@gingemb]

Great job!thanks for sharing 👍

[@mattmainwaring3354]

Great video, the panelling looks great. I’m part way through doing this myself, I purchased the wood from b&q and had a bit of an issue with some of the wooden slats not being straight but nothing a few more nails didn’t sort out. Also I found a laser level helped speed things up a bit. Great video

[@our_home_style_]

Hey. Thanks for commenting. That’s what we found; we needed a few nails to sort out some of the uneven ones. I’m thinking of getting a laser level, would you recommend one?

[@mattmainwaring3354]

@@our_home_style_ Yes definitely, I did some mdf wall panelling in one of our bedrooms, I only bought a cheap(ish) one from screw fix I think it was a magnuson one that had horizontal and vertical lines on and a Stanley laser level pole and it worked great. It’ll work and speed things up for tiling also.

Hi, was the wall you attached to solid or plasterboard? Thanks

[@MichaelMcDermott1]

Hi, can I ask, did you nail the panels on to a dry wall? - thinking of doing something very similar just wondering if nails work fine or would screws be better?

[@tom4kills28]

Was the wall a solid wall or plasterboard. Thanks

[@AmandaTe]

I love this! You guys did a great job :) How did you attach the mirror? Did you attach it to one of the panels or the actual wall behind it?

[@our_home_style_]

Thank you so much. The mirror is attached to the wall behind with a long screw in between one of the gaps.

[@PradeepSusarla]

Great work!! your panels in your video look a bit wider (>38mm) than the one you pointed Wicks website. are you sure it's Wickes Sawn Kiln Dried - 19 x 38 x 2400mm? Could you please confirm?

[@MdJahedAlom-n1m]

Hi there! Would really appreciate if you could tell me the size of the nails. Thanks

[@chancoxo]

Is there a way to hide the pin holes? I’m going to attempt this in my living room, but worried the pins will be noticeable. Thanks

[@michelep1489]

Hi looks great What type of nails did you use to attach the panels to the walls?

[@our_home_style_]

Hey, nothing special just some thin, small headed nails so they were easier to disguise when painting them.

[@Chi_Storm_]

Would you recommend treating the wood panels or is it fine just to paint like you did?

[@our_home_style_]

It doesn’t need treating but after doing this project a few times I would recommend lightly sanding it once it’s up before painting

[@Chi_Storm_]

@@our_home_style_ Thank you.

[@elachmielewska4081]

Did you use the same paint for panelling as has been use for wall ? Did cover wood enought ?

[@our_home_style_]

Hi sorry for the delay in replying, yes we used the same paint for both and it covered the wood really well.

[@ghadaalshammari4916]

Whats the diameter of your mirror please?

[@adeladautovic3565]

Hi would you say the paint colour is a shade of grey?

[@our_home_style_]

Hi, sorry for the delay in replying to you. We’ve paired it with creams, I would say it’s more cream than grey.

[@ammarashairaz5410]

Did you need to sand the wood?

[@our_home_style_]

Hey, we have used this twice and painted it both times. I’d say if you’re painting it a darker colour then there is no need to sand but if you are leaving it natural or painting a light colour then sand it because it’s a bit rustic looking

[@BRANDONMALVEAUX-v6c]

You guys are a good looking couple 😅 not to be a creepy American im just saying also great job!

[@herzeltapet]

It's a drywall

[@skrefurbishedinteriors]

Wow the wooden slats are now 33.25 that's gone up lol

[@Merzui-kg8ds]

Clearly the word "panel" has a different meaning in UK.

[@common_sense_supreme]

Great job. Is your husband single? Asking for a thirsty friend.

[@karlbaker5722]

What can I do if the nails won’t go into the wall because it’s brick
