- Just like feature walls you don't have to cover every surface with wall cladding to get an effect. Follow me as I take you through each step of installing board and batten wall panelling.

Thanks for this, my wife has now decided we should do our vestibule and hallway the same……oh how I laughed😜😂😂
Always love the raised eyebrows in the intro!!
What a fancy throne room you have now!
excellent finish - but I agree with other commenters that boxing in piping would have been my personal priority! I also think feature walls don't really work in small spaces, and it mostly looks like a job interrupted. but the finish is absolutely excellent!
I beg to differ. I think it has brought some warmth and visual appeal into a small toilet room. If the other walls were panelled out it would look too busy as it is a small room.
A job interrupted is perfect for a toilet. It's a metaphor for your wife reminding you to put the bins out as you fill the bowl.
Home owners spent the 1950’s, 60’s, ripping these boards out during modernization…
You keep making videos on exactly what I am about to do! I feel like I am in a simulation. I am going to use primed square edge skirting on a plaster boarded wall.
Haha same!!
I commented this a few weeks back. Stuart is really dialed in to what's on trend with diy etc
UA-cam bubble - we all watch the same content. I started my DIY journey with Stewart and a newbuilt property and pretty much repeating similar steps year on year, including gardening)))
That looks great nice colour choice too
On a flipper many years ago I used old kitchen cabinet doors as wall panels with a new skirting and top bead.
Great looking project. I think it would look good to go on the wall where the toilet paper is as well. Just bringing the colour onto the short wall there, where there is no sanitary wear or pipes would look good. The colour is really nice.
Great start to my Sunday. Definitely getting that laser. Cheers Stuart.
It says currently unavailable when I click it. It does give other options though
There is one thing that you failed to warn people about. That is that when doing work on a wall facing your toilet it is imperative to get it absolutely right because you will be spending a lot of time facing that wall and you will see any imperfections which in time will dive you nuts if you don't attend to them. Also, seriously, I would have considered making the uprights slightly less in depth (3mm) to add to the 3 dimensional effect.
Most people stare at their phones when they're on the loo these days
brilliant..may never do this becuase of the type of house i live in..but its great to watch all the techniques that i can use on other projects
A little V of masking tape on top of the paint tin makes pouring easy , & keeps the tin clean
Ok so it's a nice job but being a grumpy git I'd have to ask why you need a feature wall in the bog? A chalk or white board would potentially be more interesting, especially with a couple of hardware-outlet catalogues available in a small magazine rack 🙂
That is a great DIY idea and a great price point if bought the same way. Nailed it once again! 👌
Huh, I didn't see one single nail in this video :P
aaand I jumped the gun, serves me well.
My first priority would be hiding the pipework. The boxing could match the board and batten, even if it's a different height on that wall.
Good idea putting a full board on the wall first, I shudder every time I see people glueing and pinning beads to a plastered wall to make fake panelling. As you alluded, when it's not trendy any more in a few years, or the next owner of the house doesn't want it, those walls could need re skimming.
"or the stars have changed" 😂 oh man, have I been there 😂😂
Above the skirting, not instead of it. I'm torn. Our WC is identical to yours (just 250 years older) but I'm not sure torus skirting goes with a shaker panel.
I can definately attest to not gluing directly to the wall. Long term tenants did this in my parents rental property in almost every room without permission (and didn't do a particularly good job either) which took a lot of work and time to rectify when they left. I really wish they were subscribers to your channel!
Haha coincidence I've just started our downstairs toilet the same as you've done in video, keep up the good work pal
Hi Stuart i hope when you removed that mock up tape you rolled it back on to the roll like i always do 😮 it works brilliantly ready to go again 😊
Good tip 👍
Looks great. Did the same in my hallway about three years ago and absolutely transformed the look for very little cost.
Mocking up using masking tape, before you commit time and money, is a good tip.
I found with my cheap Stanley nailer/stapler if I pushed down on the back whilst nailing into our panelling the nail would not stick out. Whereas without doing that it would stick out slightly. It did have a power dial set to the highest.
Per Brent Hull of Hull Historical, wainscot should be 28”-30” high for 8’-9’ ceilings and 30”-32” high for 10’-12’ ceilings per historical precedent, looks much better. Rails and stiles should be 3” wide and panels should be an odd number.
Wow im off to buy that wee laser. So handy Stuart and i thought they cost 4 times that! Lovely job and i agree with putting the board up first, i didnt in my last house and wall so bad i had to get a tiler in also the board keeps the wall straight as you say . I hung a double door wall cabinet in my laundry room but put up an mdf bit on the wall first as shockingly bumpy! However i cannot get one door to hang properly. Dod all the things folk suggested, even cslled in a joiner but he too was stumped. Doors at top look flush but! 🤦♀️
Great idea and very informative. Thanks.
Looks boss 👏 gonna have a go of this. Great watch and tips as always! 👍
Beautiful, will save this video for the better half, wish me luck🤣 thanks for sharing.
Great project
Top job Stuart 😊
Beware all potential home buyers - this is great way to hide rising damp!
Another great job looks so clean and stylish
Great job
If you haven’t done anything in that room for a couple of years try fybogel 😂
great addition to the toilet stuart looks fantastic, i like a feature wall and in this case i think less is more
Another top job Stuart 👍
Hi Stuart. Did similar job but dispensed with backer board, the wall itself sufficed especially when painted same as battens.
I sometimes have to decorate period ones here in Bath. They also do not have a backer board but are fixed directly onto the lath and plaster wall, sometimes with a panel in the middle smaller by 2 or 3 inches, with part of the original wall as the recessed infill. I wonder if it was done because lath and plaster walls can be weak and get damaged easily.
Great results, looks amazing! 👍
Your laser level is showing on Amazon at £237!😂😂😂
GGreat video!! thanks
Masking tape for "visualisation", use the cheap stuff from stores like B&M.
Would rather use a fast grab to fix onto backing board, would save all those nail holes and filling. Excellent work as usual, am not going to show it to my other half ;-)
That'll cause a massive headache when removing, trust me.
Nice again! Do you have a link to that laser?
Looks nice!
Could you use two panels instead of one large one? I wouldn’t get the size I need in the car.
That's a new-build??? The plumbing on the outside of the wall looks like crap! (no pun intended).
it's properly called 'frame and panel'
Brilliant video 👍
Looks great that 👍
The level u recommend is unavailable 😂
Decent video 👍
I knew I shouldn’t have watched this with the wife 🤦🏻
Hi Stuart… looks really smart. Clicked on the link for the laser and it’s currently unavailable 🙈😂
What's the betting it'll re-appear at twice the price...
plenty of others eg RockSeed Cross Laser for £19.99
Being a new build, do you have issues with all the plaster board everywhere when doimg DIY? Especially when hanging things up?
Are the batten pins necessary or could just the glue be relied upon, due to them being lightweight?
I did this recently but just used grab adhesive and 2 or 3 pins per board, it stuck just fine
How do i find the link to that cheap laser level
Show us how to box those horrible pipes in next then the throne room will look nice like the rest of the house.
No lasers left Aaaaggh
Green lazer level currently unavailable 😢
I'd wear a mask when sanding mdf bud, nasty stuff
I would have taken a slight corner edges off all the slats with a palm router just to give it that nice little detail.
Excellent little project. That Brad nailer is an act of vandalism. Truly horrible to watch. You have a compressor. For 30 or 40 quid, a basic 23g Brad nailer would do a much neater job - no filler required.
Ps btw...that laser unavailable..all your followers have bought it..ok a woman thing haha but my fav colour too! 😂
Why so many pins when you have glue as well?
Everything is way overpriced these days and we have a government who wants to reduce our pensions and make life harder for us.
Is it only me, or MDF is just glorified cardboard? Nice project, still.
'decent quality paint' 😮.....pro painters would have to disagree. Dulux from the big sheds is not rated as good paint at all. 'Dulux trade' however....that's decent paint
