Create a feature wall with a half panelled wall
If you follow the blog, you might know that I’m slowly making my way through the house decorating and DIY-ing. The other side of the office is still not quite done, I’ve got a bit of a creative block with it to be honest, so I thought it would be helpful to take a little detour and get started on our guest room. Our guest room has been pretty much abandoned since we moved in, and before this it was a chaotic mess of wedding decor, DIY supplies and various odds and ends. After a good tidy, I was thinking about what i could do and I of course landed on wall panelling. I love wall panelling, and after giving it a go in our office space and creating this faux beadboard effect in our cloakroom, I’m hooked. I wanted something different from what I’ve done in these other spaces, and so I decided to have a go at panelling just half the wall with both vertical and horizontal panels. A picture ledge along the top of the panelling is something that I may add later, but for now I’m so happy with how it’s looking and can’t believe what a difference it’s made. The colour of the wall paint we chose is a little pinker than I would have liked, it is still lovely, but the other half vetoed against a more orange/terracotta colour, and so this colour was our compromise. Let me know what you think of this project, and if you’re interested in doing it yourself, keep reading to find out how…
