MaterialsThere are only a few essentials for this projects! The white sheet you see in the background here is the beadboard. Yes, it comes by the sheet (and is likely made of MDF)! The piece of wood across the top is a 1×4 pine (this is a good size if you’re adding hooks to the wall). You may also want a piece of trim for the bottom, depending if your beadboard is sitting on top of a baseboard. Mine sits on top of a radiator so I used a 1×2 to create a more finished look. You’ll want the wood filler and caulk shown here to fill seams and nail holes after your beadboard and trim goes up.

Nail 1×2 and beadboard to wallUse a finish nailer to attach bottom trim piece (1×2) and beadboard to the wall after cutting them to size (it can be hard to cut the sheet of beadboard at home depending on your tools so getting it cut at the store is a good idea if you can measure ahead). You could also use screws or liquid nails to attach these pieces to the wall, depending what tools you have available.

Level 1×4 and nail to wallBefore attaching your top piece (1×4), make sure it is level (don’t assume the top cut of the beadboard is perfect). It’s okay if there’s a small gap between the top of the beadboard and the this trim piece, you can fill that with caulking.

Caulk seams and fill nail holesUse the materials shown in the second photo to fill the seams and nail holes. Caulking is for the places where wood meets wood and wood filler is for nail holes. Lightly sand over the wood filler once it’s dried!

Paint and add hooksI bought four hooks from Lowe’s and screwed them into the top trim piece to make this space more functional. If you’re just looking to create an accent wall, call it a day after you paint! You could also add a 1×2 (or 1×3 or 1×4) to your top trim piece to create a small shelf!
