Wooden accent walls are a timeless way to elevate your space. With so many beautiful designs to choose from, you can go for something simple and elegant or a design that’s both stylish and functional. The choice is yours!
Most installers use 1x boards or MDF boards for wooden accent walls, but I wasn’t satisfied with those options. 1x boards stick out too far from the wall, while MDF can warp or bubble if it ever gets wet.
That’s why I pioneered using 3/8" MDO wood for my accent walls. It has the perfect thickness for a seamless, polished look, and it’s extremely durable. While it takes a lot more prep work on my end than the alternative options, it is far superior and built to last for years to come.
Please note: For all of my wooden accent walls, your existing wall surface becomes the backdrop. For example, the spacing between the board and batten strips will reveal your current wall behind them. Before painting, I’ll patch small nail holes or dents as needed to create a smooth, clean surface. Most homes in Minnesota have smooth drywall, but if your walls are heavily textured, please let me know right away so I can plan and quote accordingly.
Have a wooden accent wall design in mind that you don’t see here? Let’s talk! I love collaborating on fresh ideas and am always open to creating something new and unique for your space.
