I saved hundreds and panelled my bedroom myself while my husband lay in bed watching films – the end result is amazing
MANY people are going wild for panelling in their homes this year and it doesn’t need to cost you a fortune.
One woman shared how she saved hundreds by doing it herself in her bedroom while her husband sat watching a movie.
Robyn Stanley uploaded a video showing her very creative process, and it has racked up over 2,800 likes.
She wrote on her @the_house_acc account: “Remember when I panelled the bedroom whilst the hubby watched a film?”
In order to not disturb her resting partner, she pushed the bed away from the wall the start the DIY project.
First up she stuck strips of wood to her wall and made sure they were level.
Then she painted the walls and the new panels a greeny beige colour, and continued the shade onto the ceiling for a snug effect.
Robyn showed off the finished result, and it looked very stylish indeed.
To finish off the bedroom look, she added wardrobes and nightstands from Ikea.
Many people were quick to share how impressed they were, with one saying: “You rock babe, looks beautiful!!!”
Another added: “I wish I could do that. I love it.”
And a third commented: “Looks amazing.”
Panelling not only looks good, but can also add value to your home, according to an expert.
Sharing her knowledge with The Express, Lucy Henderson, head of design at My Bespoke Room, explained: “Timber panelling can add a ‘wow factor’ to certain properties, especially period properties.
“Half-height, full-height, or painted wall panelling can add interesting detail to rooms, like hallways and bedrooms.
“Well-made panelling adds a more high-end feeling to a property and can make it appear more expensive.”
According to her, this feature can help any space feel cosier and more intimate.
