DIY the look of
classic wall panelling
using affordable
timber moulding
1 Decide on a
design and mark
it out on the wall
using painter’s tape.
Tip: Evenly sized and
spaced squares or
rectangles work well.
2 Measure the
tape sections to
calculate how much
moulding you need.
Tip: Bear in mind the
lengths your chosen
moulding is available
in, and select those
that create the
least wastage.
3 Mark up the
moulding with a
pencil then, using
a mitre box and
handsaw, cut on
a 45° angle. Smooth
cuts with 180-grit
abrasive paper and
wipe off dust with
a cloth. Paint primer
on the moulding
sections and let dry.
4 Mark guides
around the corners
of the painter’s tape
with pencil, then
remove the tape
from the wall.
5 Apply construction
adhesive to the
back of the bottom
sections of moulding
first, and press into
position on the wall,
then secure using
a brad nailer and
25mm pins. Repeat
with side and then
top sections.
6 Once all the panel
pieces are complete,
fill nail indentations
with timber filler.
When dry, sand, wipe
away dust and paint
the wall.
