Wondering how to make your own DIY board and batten wall accent at home? Here is a step by step tutorial for making your own DIY accent wall with a board and batten decor. This is a cheap and easy DIY accent wall idea!

Supplies

I used 1/8” hardboard for the backer, 1x2” MDF for the battens, and some 1”x6” MDF for the top and bottom trim.

#1

We first put up the backer board, cutting out for the window trim and the outlets with a jigsaw.

#2

With the backer board on, add the top trim and the new baseboard using your nail gun.

#3

Measure out your battens (how far apart you want them) and mark the wall.

#4

Cut the battens to the length needed for your walls and then install with a nail gun.

#5

Caulk around the window trim, the top and bottom boards, and each batten. I started using a caulking tool to get a nice finish on it.

#6

Then paint. To get a super smooth finish, we used our paint sprayer.
