Placing in board and batten paneling in a bathroom gives a normal look. This layered design creates texture when delicate catches the raised battens.
Make a easy DIY board and batten wall in a bathroom by placing in one-by-four and one-by-six lumber instantly on the rest room wall. Caulk and latex paint make the board and batten wall waterproof and ready for bathroom use.
Sooner than You Begin
When planning the board and batten construction, maintain these design solutions in ideas.
- Space the vertical battens 10 to 25 inches apart horizontally.
- Goal for 4 to five panels (the home between the battens) per 8 ft. Fewer panels look sparse, and further panels look busy.
- Start with one batten at each far facet, then work inward.
- Don’t forget that 1x lumber (like one-by-fours) is always 1/2-inch narrower than its stated width. One-by-fours are 3-1/2 inches broad. One-by-sixes are 5-1/2 inches broad.
