How to Create a DIY Accent Wall
Creating a DIY accent wall is relatively easy and can be done in a few simple steps.
Step 1: Choose a Wall
The first step is to choose a wall that you want to use as your accent wall. This wall should be the one that you want to draw attention to, or the one that you want to add texture and depth to.
Step 2: Choose a Color or Pattern
Once you have chosen a wall, the next step is to choose a color or pattern for your accent wall. You can choose a bold color, a subtle pattern, or a combination of both.
Step 3: Prep the Wall
Before you start painting or applying the pattern to your wall, you will need to prep the wall. This includes cleaning the wall, filling in any holes or cracks, and sanding the wall if necessary.
Step 4: Paint or Apply the Pattern
Once the wall is prepped, you can start painting or applying the pattern to your wall. If you are painting, make sure to use a high-quality paint and follow the instructions on the can. If you are applying a pattern, make sure to measure and cut the pattern pieces accurately.
Step 5: Add Accessories
The final step is to add accessories to your accent wall. This can include artwork, shelves, or other decorative items. This is a great way to add a personal touch to your accent wall and make it unique.

stunning…..π
Thank you
Just built this and gotta tell u β¦ ppl are impressed β¦ thx so much
Thanks for the video. We followed the same steps and finished the accent wall. However, the nails are still popping out in some areas (we used nail gun). Any suggestion on how to push them inside and then we can fill the holes? TIA.
Just what I was looking for. I have a similar space but in my dining room area .
Not sure what koalk is, but looks great, lol
When I do a project like this I never face nail. Toe nail everything. You save a ton of time with filling and sanding and donβt forget. Itβs the professional way of doing this kind of work.
"Funnest" is not a word. And "more lighter"?
Did u have to clean the wall after sanding?
One question, do you have the name of the paint color?
One of the BEST accent wall tutorials Iβve seen so far! GREAT JOB!ππππ
Thanks for such a great video. Iβm not really a handyman guy but I will do my best once my house π‘ is completely built by June, my only issue will be I will be installing a 86β TV on the center of the wall.
Beautiful ! I will
Ask my husband to do this and would paint the outlets the same color
the knee pads I like…. what store?
cool
you can tell the finish is absolute thrash
do not EVER EVER EVER use a wagner…..call a proper painter…. with real tools
Hey there, great video. How do you fix mistakes or imperfections on the wall? Is it as easy as just sanding it down and just respraying?
Nice, but for goodness sake, upgrade those electrical plates to some nice screwless stainless steel ones for $15, come on…

Are brad nails sufficient when using 1 x 3 pine?

What kind of wall prep did you do? Sand, prime? Is the wall texture or smooth?

What are u hypothetically charging a customer for this?
About to paint and followed this step by step….only difference is I did chaulk on the edges between walls…just to leave some room for expansion and contraction
Beautiful job! I would have preferred to have the outlets and plates to be black.
Finally doing this over the weekend. Took me 2 years to muster up the courage. Thank u so much it's gorgeous π
I completely LOVED it! Thank you so much for teach us! π€©

Hi can someone please confirm that the 1×2 mdf strip he use was it exactly 1×2 or it comes in different sizes but we just call it 1×2. For the life of me I can't find any 1×2 mdf strip I can only see 6mm, 9mm and 18 mm strip thanks
Love this tutorial. Might give it a try. But why not paint the outlets and covers?
Hi, Wanted to check if the paint used is the same for the wall and MDF boards.
