This week we build a DIY wood slat wall! This video is focused on the detailed breakdown of the project and includes step by step instructions so you can build it yourself! This project was a ton of fun and one of my favorite projects to date! It is not as daunting as it looks, and with some patience, anyone can tackle this DIY project. The wall is built with oak slats that we ripped down on the table saw and I used MDF sheets as a backerboard for the black paint. I hope you enjoy the video! - Навчання та стиль
Going to do this for the reception of our language school in Brazil. Thank you. I love this!!!
Wonderful!
I love the box around the switch box idea...brilliant and looks slick.
Thanks!!
Rewatching this video over and over again. Going to try this out in my new condo-thank you for this instructional video!!
Haha, that’s awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed the video are able to use it as a guide! Good luck with the project and let me know how it goes!
Thanks for sharing. Putting an MDF under the slats is a brilliant idea that makes nailing much easier.
Thank you! Yes, it allowed me to nail the boards wherever without having to worry about hitting a stud and it paints very well too!
at $53 a sheet it is too painful for me to purchase 3/4" mdf
this came out great, really a joy to watch and happy to hear you'd be switching the outlet and switch plates out because that was the only thing I thought looked off. Taking notes from this one, nice build!
Thank you, I really appreciate it! I posted a video on the new switches too if you want to check it out!

A tip so you are far less likely to have brad nails blowout, is to always hold your nailer perpendicular to the length of the board. In other words, the chisel tip of brad nails will veer to either side of the chisel tip, rather than up and down (due to following the grain of the wood). That is why you want to hold your brad nailer horizontal when nailing vertical boards together. It's better to have the nail veer off on the 8' length of the board, rather than on the 3/4" width of the board.
Thanks for the tip!
I always wanted to do
slat wall for my house. Thank you for the video. Love how it turns out so much!!! Amazing job!!!
Thank you so much 😊 Good luck with your project!
love the detail around the electrical plates. that turned out great. whole thing looks awesome.
Thank you, really appreciate it!
Looks great! One small thing could be to leave just a small gap between the slats and the floor to have a moisture barrier between them.
Thank you! And that’s a good thought, thanks for the tip
That was clever using the mdf panels behind them. This helped me figure out how to do this for myself.
Thanks you! And perfect - glad I could help!
Crushed the spacing, and covering that gap was poetry.
I'm about to attempt vertical wood slats as a staircase partition and came across your video and channel. Subscribed!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Good luck with your build and thanks for the subscription!
Brilliant to add that detail around the outlets!
Agreed! Really happy with the way it turned out!
Perfection! I like the light switch boxes too
Thank you! I really love how it turned out too!
Thank you for this video. As an avid DIY'er, you filled in a lot of the how-to gaps for me. I'm actually doing this in a 70's era sunken living room where one wall is 9' and the other is 8' on an angle to the adjacent 9' wall. Should look pretty cool when I'm done!
Thank you, I really appreciate it! I’m glad you found the video helpful and good luck with your project!
Here is a tip. Cut out a jig block for your spacing, but make it long, 2/3, and give it feet. That way you can lean it against the wall. Then, walk away, put it next to your last stile, place the jig, nail off the next stile, place the jig and walk away. That way you do not have to pick up 3 little blocks off the floor or out of your pocket all the time.
Good idea, appreciate the tip!
Spectacular work! Love that you used oak not plywood. The danish oil against black is also a great choice.
Thank you! Agreed on the oak, danish oil, black combo!
Congratulations ! You have done a FINE JOB ! And proven once again the adage " Measure twice ( or more if you need ) and cut once. Above all I like very much the way you THINK first. The results are on yourn side. BRAVO.
Thank you for the kind words! Really appreciate the support!
It gives so much character . Good job
Thank you! Agreed on the character 😁
You explain perfectly, very thorough.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the feedback 😊 hope you enjoyed the video!
My favorite video so far, love the look of this
If using oak for the slats it is best to use stainless steel nails for attaching them to the MDF. The reason is that the tannin in the oak can react with the iron in the nail and cause black streaks on the wood. The more moisture there is around, the more chance of staining (especially if you’re doing this on an external wall).
Great tip! This particular wall is inside and does not get much moisture so I haven't has any black streaks and it's been about a year
Damn, this wall looks absolutely stunning! Great job!
Thank you, appreciate it!
The slat wall looks nice and the house is even noicer!!
Thank you, really appreciate it!
Thank you for this video we be using this in our motel renovation.
So perfectly and beautifully done. I love it❤️❤️ wish could do my own diy
Thank you so much! And you can! There are a ton of projects that don’t require many tools 😊
Sweet, this is a great example of we Im wanting to do in my place. thanks
Perfect! I’m glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful 😁 thanks for watching!
The surrounds on the light switches and outlet look really good
Nice job. really like how it turned out.
Planning to do something similar but to ceiling. Also my plan was to turn the slat other way around (so that it gives more depth effect), but it will maybe 3x the need of the wood. I was hoping to constructing the sheets on ground and then connecting it as whole, but if there are any inconsistencies you are likely to see the gaps in big ceiling :(
That will look awesome! I think pre-assembling is a good idea as long as you can line them up nicely on the ceiling. And yeah definitely more wood cost but maybe find something less expensive than oak
Amazing! What a wall!
Thanks man! Glad you liked it 😁
That’s really nice. Nice job well done.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
It looks great! I really love it!
Thank you!
Very nice. Great job. 👍

Go for it!
Thank you for this video. Very, very nice. Beatiful.
Thank you very much!
love it, great job. I'm going to do this.
Thank you! Let me know how your project goes!
I did this around my front door outside wall, and it came out awesome! ALSO: I went with horizontal instead of vertical slats. Something different and totally pops!
That sounds awesome! It’s a simple design but can be modified in a lot of unique ways!
do you have any photos of the horizontal?
Horizontal indoors? Eeek… dust!

Such an inspiring video!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Clean looking Job. Well Done
Thank you, appreciate it!
Get some Lutron Claro satin black outlets and screwless outlet/switchplate covers. Will get rid of the eyesore of the white. Looks really good, nice work.
We ended up going with Buster and Punch black and brass plates! I posted a video on it already and you can see it in this videos thumbnail
This looks freaking amazing!!
Thank you so much!
that's beautiful and awesome work there mates!
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback 😁
Look awesome! Well done!
Thank you!
Congratulations
An excellent job !
Thank you, really appreciate it!
@@GoldenKeyDesign 👍🇷🇴
Just a tip for caulking. Put some soap and water in spray bottle. after you put caulk spray it and it goes off smooth with no sticking :)
Great tip, but that’s more helpful for silicone caulk. This caulk was acrylic or water-based so a damp finger does the trick!
Just stumbled onto your video and loving this!
Gotta hook a shopvac up to that saw, I think mine hooks right up to it with no adapter even.
Thanks! And yes, dust collection is on my to do list. It’s just a very long list haha
Very inspiring!
Thank you!
This is beautiful 👏
Thank you!
Great job ,well done
Thanks, appreciate it!
Amazing work !!!!!
Thank you, appreciate it !
That looks amazing
Thank you, I think it looks amazing too haha!
Fantastic job
Thank you!
Beautiful result!
Thank you!!
I surely want to do something like that if I ever get to own a place (I'll go with woodgrain on woodgrain, though, maybe two tones or just retro single wood style, but with a similar pattern from yours). Happy UA-cam algorithm suggested me this video. @@GoldenKeyDesign
Awesome job!
Thank you, appreciate the support!
Just an FYI for anyone watching the MDF install. Dont rely on the floor being level, level with the ceiling and use a base to cover the gaps required on the bottom. Follow this step, no panel gaps.
Thing is, I didn’t want to use a base for this project as it ruins the look. Therefore I needed the MDF to be flush with both the ceiling and floor. Best option is this case was to scribe but it’s difficult when you don’t have much room to maneuver the piece.
great job !!!
Awesome job!!
Thank you, appreciate it!
looks really nice
Thank you!
beautifully done
Thank you! Appreciate it!

Good job! 🙌🏻
BEAUTIFUL
Thank you! 😊
Great work!
Thank you!
I also want to make this wall panel,Really a treasure blogger
Go for it!
Good design and installation. And you were able to get all those boards so straight and parallel. All that nice but expensive oak must have cost you a lot of money.
Thank you, appreciate it! It was on the pricey side but we are trying to make this an upscale renovation and use high quality materials
Well done!
Thank you!
Wow it’s perfect
Thank you!
Nailed it!
Thank you!
Awesome job man
Thank you!
Great job
Thank you!
The moment when you realise, you live in germany and cant just simply "nail" things on the wall. Cause of stone :D nice vid!
😂 thank you! I think a strong adhesive would be plenty strong as the boards don’t need much to stay upright. Nails are just a nice insurance
I think you spelt - *the rest of the world - wrong!
Construction adhesive to stick and screw (you can screw into concrete) a plywood or MDF backerboard and then nail ....
I didn’t realise Germany or the rest of the world didn’t have MDF for the nailable backer board 😂
@@gerrym4377 Nice…
Nice job!
Thank you!
Good job man!
Thank you, appreciate it!
Very nice. You inspire. When I do I want the spacing to be bit tight! All the best mate!
Thank you, appreciate the support!
looks really cool nice work dude
Thanks man! Appreciate it
Impressive!!!
Thank you 😊
