If you know what that is, can you at tell me what its called?
And how much would it cost to do a 12'x12' room with those panels?
Answers:
seems like a simple drywall and Molding project . I would space your studs for the metal frame on the bed . I would not know the cost but I think it would be fairly priced with a diy instead of hiring someone.
not sure what its called but i really like it too. i may have my husband do our room with it.
It looks to me like they used quarter round to make "frames" similar to picture frames.
agree with others.. dont think its panels at all.. just molding being used to create the appearance..in which case its a pretty easy cheap project id imagine
Those aren't panels on the wall. They just used "half-round" moulding to frame in a faux look. It's quite easy to do, all you'll need is a mitre/chop-saw, a tape measure and an eye for detail and you can do it yourself.
A miter saw ($17), construction adhesive ($15), Blue tape ($9), caulk ($6), paint ($44), molding (.65ft)
Glue it up, fill the cracks with caulk then paint the room.
You can do it!
thats nice possibly regular drywall with a chair rail type molding
They used standard quarter round and made different sized squares and nailed them to the walls. Go to your local building supply store and they can tell you what you need - def need a miter box/saw to cut the 45 degree angles. Easy job to do yourself
I agree with all who said it's half round moulding fastened to the wall as picture frames. Seen it done a lot on Trading Spaces TV
wow i like that. doesnt look too hard too do but what do i know lol good luck!
It is called Wainscott or Library Paneling. It can be installed in two different ways, depending on the level of detail you want to achieve.
The easiest way is to buy what is commonly referred to as panel molding - available at Home Depot or Lowes or a local lumber yard. Simply lay out the the panel sizes and miter the pieces and glue and nail them to the wall.
The other method is more difficult, requires more material and is usually used when a "library" look is the desired result, i.e. Stained wood over the entire wall. It involves ripping down plywood or solid wood and nailing it onto the wall as a "grid" and then applying the panel molding along the inside edges of the pieces, giving the appearance of recessed panels on the wall.
They are just simple moldings that you can buy at any home remodeling place. Hard to tell what they are for sure but you could use a variety of different moldings to get similar result. You could use half rounds mixed with quarter rounds, some small 1/2 by 1's or 1 by 2's in a finish grade material. What I saw in the photo were not panels but pieces of above mentioned materials to make the wall look like they are panels. Depending on quality of materials and actual materiaos chosen you could spend $150.00 - almost $400.00 to complete your project.
This is custom, field-applied molding work. The key ingredient is planning. Using a tape rule, a level, and a chalk line, mark out the pattern you want, directly onto the wall. Next, go to a lumber yard and check out molding profiles. You need a symmetric look, so either choose a molding that will do that, or use a combination of moldings. Do a small-scale test. Make a corner and see how it looks. I'd suggest buying or renting a power miter, or chop saw. This will give much better cuts. Since this work is going to be decorative, the accuracy of the cutting and assembly will be crucial. A small saw, like the one from Ryobi is under $100. It will do a nice job. it's much cheaper and more satisfying than hiring somebody else to do it. Also, you'll find other projects that the saw will help you do quicker and better.
