Modern Living Room Design Part 1 | DIY Wood Slat Wall

[@imidzovic]

I am surprised how many negative comments on this video... These people just wanted to show other people on the youtube how they did certain things.. You can like it, you can dislike it, you can skip it... Why so much hate? What's going on with the world?

[@laurencedetilly6097]

I agree, she doesn't deserve the hate. It's a DIY, it's not meant to be professional. She's happy with what she did, she's proud, and if she changes her mind in a few years she'll be able to make something new easily.

[@Hanasdiyhome]

Thank you so much! That means a lot. Like you said, I wanted to help ppl if they want to do it in their home. You’re a shining star!

[@Hanasdiyhome]

Thank you Laurence! I def never implied I was a professional. And that’s the exact reason we didn’t use glue! Thanks for understanding

[@ginogretry5160]

Keep on Hana, you are very talented 👏👏

[@rogerash]

Looks awesome, keep up the good work.

[@joseluisperezjr3285]

This is really good especially for people with little to No tool experience... great job

[@Hanasdiyhome]

I appreciate that! That’s who I am trying to help! Everyone should have their dream home

Congrats guys you did a great job!

[@tamimgaber5225]

As an interior Designer i found it very beautiful and emazing work

[@Steve-DIY-m1n]

Very cool, the result turned out fantastic!

[@Arlene_DOTK]

Great Job, its BEAUTIFUL 😍 ❤ I love the 2 accent options. Im looking to do something like this in my condo for my combo dining/living room.

[@The1nonlymaria]

Thank you! Getting ready to do mine

[@manssupar]

This is cheaper way than buying wood panel or wpc panel on market. Tq for this idea so genius 👍👍

[@madonnaoti5648]

Great job! I will follow your style to decorate my movie room. Thanks alot❤

[@Hanasdiyhome]

This would be very cool in a movie room!!

[@patricehollywood6014]

The idea is great. The construction is normally different. You would first apply a sheet of MDF or a board. Affix the board to the studs, sand and paint, then apply the slats. That way you can use glue and nails w/o damage to the wall and it will be a more permanent/secure application. A primer is crucial when painting with darker colors. Otherwise, Im super proud of the effort. 👏

[@Hanasdiyhome]

That’s a great idea too!! Thanks for the tip

[@goatseatchili1817]

So you’re saying to like put a cross board screwed into the studs running horizontally and then attach the planks to that?

[@aliyakeller2573]

Great tips.. thanks for sharing!

[@yuvrajtomar2032]

Was looking for something similar for my bar.. thank you for making the video. Amazing effort.... and as usual great job. ❤️

[@Hanasdiyhome]

Thank you so much!! So excited for your project

[@AtHomewithAshley]

Hana! It turned out so good. I’m so inspired

[@Hanasdiyhome]

Thanks so much Ashley!! It’s an easy beginner level project

[@JonathanCeezy]

As a construction field engineer, I would have done it differently as far as sequence, but im very impressed that u guys were able to accomplish this without much experience. It came out great. Trial and error will make you a beast. Great work!

[@courtneyallen2924]

It's beautiful ❤

[@roul2241]

Looks pretty good, I’m afraid to nail the wall, it may be some pipes, perhaps electrical wires. Other than that, I think I’m doing this project tomorrow. Thanks for the tips.

[@Hanasdiyhome]

Absolutely do what you’re comfortable with!!! Good luck.

[@sandiapillay9691]

Nice. I like it with a only few slats in 2 corners cause paint so nice. Shoudve left a little extra spacing around outlet for maintenence. Always maintenence lol.

[@Hanasdiyhome]

Oops! Didn’t think of that. Noted for next time

[@timewilltell5309]

Fair play for showing how to do this. I know you mentioned it but I would have concerns about the wood warping over time and even getting uniform straight pieces to start with. In my experience wood can get very warped with seasonal changes etc. I know it is more expensive but the pre made panels woild give a better finish and better longevity. They also have the benefit of audio surpression. I do understand this was to show how you could do it on the cheap but it could be false economy.

[@scottward1001]

FairPlay to you fantastic job keep the good work up 👍

[@Hanasdiyhome]

Thanks!!

[@fareehashehzad1841]

Put a planter and a hanging light over it in that corner as well 😍😍. Very Niceee ❤

[@Hanasdiyhome]

That’s amazing!!! Good luck

[@PhucNguyen-yc3dn]

so beautiful. can you tell me where to buy the small wooden sticks? and what are they called? thanks?

[@edwardtherrien1537]

They make adhesives you can caulk on the back of the wood for extra security on the wall

[@Hanasdiyhome]

We didn’t want to use glue in case we change our mind a few years ago. It would be hard to repair the drywall damage

[@NatalieCathlin]

Great job!!!

[@Hanasdiyhome]

Thank you!!

It’s so helpful to have a partner for DIY projects! They go much faster

[@matthewfloyd2442]

Hi, loving some of your begginer advice as I'm going to start sharing all my cool stuff soon. My stuff that I think is cool anyway. Since I grabbed a little handful of your tips, thought it only fair to leave one for your propagation. This may very well be rife input, but it is a pretty simple technique for holding lighter-weight, non-structural materials to sheetrock like slats for instance. Works best with longer 16‐18gauge nails ( I always keep 2" loaded up). Shoot one at 11 o'clock and as close to the head of your 11 nail as possible, fire another at 1 o'clock. Kind of shooting a v away from yourself creating a pretty stable anchor. Obviously lots of people would say glue or caulk, but trying to blow and go on something this tedious saves lots of nails and is much much less permanent. Meaning if you need to make it be not, the pinholes to be filled are much less work than removing the glue and sheetrock/texture the glue takes with it.(usually requiring new rock all together) I do apologize, I have a strange condition where when I have simple thought i expel a massively prolix and windy, but gratuitous, thicket of a grapheme and phoneme amalgamate. See lol. I talk too much would be more concise

[@christianlungungu7186]

I ' m learning on your vidéo. Amazing!

[@JimGoddard-zi1fr]

Great job, love it! What percentage of the wall was slats and what percentage was geometric figures?

[@garyalcorn3831]

Great idea Hannah forget all the haters looking good 👍🏻

[@Hanasdiyhome]

Thanks so much Gary!! Gotta be the bigger person ☺️

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

Did you buy the slats or cut them from something? What was the total cost of the materials?

[@Hanasdiyhome]

About $200. It’s 1x2 pine

[@GiselleBeaumont-k7v]

great job

[@Hippie-i8g]

Were the wood slats expensive? Great job!

[@Hanasdiyhome]

I don’t think so. They were about $150-$200 for this wall

[@KrikorSassounian-w4p]

Good job 👍❤️🙏

[@anisawu8709]

Hi Hana, when you mapped out the design using paint tape, do u measure the tape? Thanks

[@roadtoad919]

The first slat was installed "plumb" not "level". Plumb is vertical. Level is horizontal. This is a beautiful design.

[@Hanasdiyhome]

I’ll remember that. Still learning

[@Mark-oy1wv]

So you’ve never misspoken before?? How ridiculous

[@jaredbecker2153]

Love this! I'm doing this to my downstairs. Did you have textured walls or flat?

[@Coachesvision]

What kind of wood and what is the slates dimensions. Great Video 😊

[@Hanasdiyhome]

This is 1x2 poplar!

[@Coachesvision]

Thank you 😊

[@romekk3975]

Thinking about that second cutout for the outlet I suppose a chisel might be a good tool to carve it out as well.

[@uppyoldskool6652]

Great video only one thing... i would have got new outlet box's fitted so that the face could have been fitted on top of the wood to give it a better finish

[@StevenJenkins-cc6ng]

Same thought. They sell extenders that would have brought that box back to where they needed it

[@thulasizwegwamanda3944]

Awesome 😎💯 work indeed in fact this is kinda high end well 🙂 done ✅

[@PriscillaGordon-m8k]

Amazing job 👌

[@Aiden-s2h]

Did you use wood that was already cut, for the slat wall? I am doing this under my house instead of lattice. I am trying to figure out what would to use.

[@Hanasdiyhome]

They were already cut into 1x2 strips. Then we had the hardware store cut then to the height of the wall to make it easier for us.

[@avraam6328]

Can you tell me the wall paint color and paint brand? It's stunning!

Can you tell me what kind and size if wood you used in this project.

[@raghuZanne]

Great ideas. But was painful to watch. Do you think the drywall will hold the slats forever?

[@Hanasdiyhome]

It’s been a year and there’s been no issues at all. So yes. I do

[@sandiapillay9691]

😂 why painful to watch? It was fun to watch

[@raghuZanne]

@@sandiapillay9691 drilling nails into drywall will be ok for a very short time or as long as the slats are it disturbed I guess. They are not secured properly in the video I think. But OP said they have been fine for over an year so 🤷‍♂️

[@zaidprooklashari6640]

That was a very nice video very helpful

[@af612]

What size slats? Maybe I missed to sizing. It turned out amazing. Good job. I want to do this on a bathroom ceiling.

Why we need to paint on the wall and where did you get that panels? Reply please??

[@manssupar]

Because Black wall is best combination color with wood

[@anonymousanonymous5327]

you fired a brad nail into the wall around the socket... without checking the orientation of the cables? how were you sure you didnt or were not going to penetrate the cables???

[@Hanasdiyhome]

I don’t think we nailed right around the outlet just in case.

[@islamrewards2860]

Do you have a steel beam?

[@madonnaoti5648]

So lovely ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@albertino4631]

Lovely video thanks a lot Just a question Which type of wood bars did you use, I know that pine wood will deform with the time Mabye could you help me

[@Hanasdiyhome]

Hey! We used poplar wood

[@davidmingollafernandez7513]

Gran trabajo!

[@grahamnash904]

I would have glued the slates. Brad nails will never stay in place long term on a plastered wall when your not hitting the studs. Other than that it looks great . Good job

[@Hanasdiyhome]

The issue with glue is removing them. If you get tired of the design, you’ll have to do a lot of drywall repair. With brad nails it’s just a couple holes to patch if you remove them

[@somtingwongwai7194]

@@Hanasdiyhome that's why they make proper slat wall channels and concealed covers, you don't see anything and screws are used as fixings

[@patrol2omega]

Hi, what is the name of that yellow machine used for the slat wall installation?

[@Knowledgedad]

What is it being nailed onto on the bacK?

[@eirhnhnxou]

Ηi could you write me here in the comments what is the name of this yellow machine that you nailed to the wall? Thanks

It’s a brad nailer

[@idalidb1486]

i love it! where is the second part?

[@rikiship62]

Did you not risk hitting any wiring with the nail gun near the wall sockets?

[@Hanasdiyhome]

We aren’t using very long nails and tried to nail at the top and bottom where there is less chance of any wires. You can also get a stud finder that detects electrical too if your concerned about it!

[@danfleury6769]

Hi, what sealant did you use please?

Looking like a hotel

[@Hanasdiyhome]

That’s an awesome compliment 🥰

[@carlclappison3058]

Are you concerned that brad nails won't keep the slats from warping with changes in humidity? Did you consider using a backer board and screwing from behind to provide more ridgity and would be interested to know why or why not? Thank you!

[@Hanasdiyhome]

Hi Carl! This has been up for 4 months and there’s no issues yet. Since we did a geometric design in the other side of the wall, we wanted the slats to be as close to the wall as possible. I guess you could do the backer board depending on your environment.

[@heroofnow1]

Wondering what you would think about this method but in a partially underground basement? We are thinking of doing a single wall like this but attaching it to MDF/Plywood, then attaching that panel to cinderblock walls. How would we attach the slats to allow them not to warp with humidty?

[@TrashyLobster]

It’s inside. No humidity issues. That’s what an air conditioner is for.

[@foziaahmed4145]

Très bon travail. Bravo.

[@incity365]

do you have a color code for the paint you used on the wall?

hello a question is your wall in wood? my wall is in concrete the nail gun is not good? thanks

[@Hanasdiyhome]

No you will need to use a hammer drill, concrete screws and a masonry drill bit. Tbh it’s really hard to drill into concrete for this many slat

[@stephanemoquin3888]

What kind of wood did you use? How far the distance between the slats ??

[@Hanasdiyhome]

It’s 1x2 poplar. We used the same board as a spacer but flipped on its side

[@nadiasubhani5839]

Hi how do you use the nail gun apart from pressing on it

[@Hanasdiyhome]

You press it against the wall and then pull the trigger! You can practice on scrap wood before you try it on the wall

What’s the divider piece you’re using to keep them divided while nailing

Hey Devionne! It’s actually the same piece of wood, but we flipped it on the short edge. You can use anything but we liked a smaller gap than the width of the board.

[@TaylorL-du4ho]

Looks great! How well do the brad nails hold in the drywall without hitting a stud?

[@Hanasdiyhome]

Hi Taylor. Good question. We nailed them in an angle so they criss cross (like an x formation) so they are holding well. This helps to anchor nails when there is no stud. Also, No one is pulling them so I don’t anticipate any problems!

What size slats are those and where do I buy them

[@Hanasdiyhome]

They are 1x2. If you have 8ft ceilings or less then just get them at a regular hardware store like Home Depot or Lowe’s. These are 9ft and so we got them from a specialty store in our area. This is poplar wood.
