Required materials

Materials Needed For This Project:

1. Decorative wall panels： Decide the design and material that goes well with your room

2. Construction adhesive:secure the panels to the wall.

3. Screws and Anchors: For extra added support if needed

4. Sand-paper :To make any rough edges even.

Step 2 :Measure & prep wall surface

Accurate measurement

The precise measurement of the wall is necessary for a smooth installation. A measuring scale will help you measure the length of wall crosswise and that from floor to top. Measure the measurements, side to angle and record precisely. This will help assess how many panels are required and guarantee a good fit. When measuring, ensure the tape measure is flush against wall to avoid errors. Any places where the wall has protruding features, such as outlets or switches, need their own measurements and markings. Further, for an accurate measurement take a tape from the front side & measure and record, then use it on sides or top to cross-check.

Cleaning and Repair

To clean the wall, is necessary for you to eliminate all existing dirt from previous times with smoke or falls of grease on it ( dirty ), before installing that decorative panel in your home. Also, you will have to check if there is any unevenness on the wall like crack, hole. Patch these blemishes with spackling compound or putty so as to provide a flat surface for the panels. This is because the walls in your home have a little bit of an imperfection, if not quite flat part where bumps and indentations that require sandpaper or some kind of sander to smooth it out. This process may be a long one but its worth and appropriate for making sure the final decorative wall panel installation guarantees quality.

Step 3: Installing Decorative Wall Panel

Fixed method

There are 2 major ways used for mounting the ornamental wall panels, and they consist of sticking or screwing them in. If you are using glue, apply an equal amount of adhesive across the back face of the panel and press tightly against surface. Screws are another good option for a secure install but be sure to drill pilot holes in the panel first, else they may split.

Calibration in both horizontal and vertical variations

Neat and professional appearance is important for the wallpaper design, so it is necessary to keep the horizontal lines of each panel in alignment. Check each panel to make sure it is level. Install with adjustments along the way to get everything looking nice and uniform.

Step 4: Trimming and Polishing

Edge processing

To work with the edges of decorative wall paneling, sandpaper or a sharp knife can be used. If the edges are jagged or concave, gently use fine-grit sandpaper to smooth and equalize them. For more accurate trimming, you can slice any extra or uneven pieces off with a knife. Take your time, removing the side panel carefully as to not ruin it. Clean the surface on which you want to apply edge treatment by wiping it down with a rag before getting started for best results.

Polishing and painting

What varnish or paint you should use depends on what exactly you need and how it needs to be finished. A clear varnish may be also dingy if one want a natural and matte finish. You can also use several types of paint, especially if you would like to put efforts on color or glossy touches. You can enhance the natural grain and texture of a wooden decorative paneling wall (or make it less noticeable) with wood stain, for instance. Use a brush or roller for an even application of the varnish / paint. Work your way down the paneling, beginning at one corner and move across to ensure you did not miss any streaks or areas. You should apply several thin coats instead of one thick coat for a good finish.

To conclude, decorative wall paneling is a simple yet effective way to breathe new life into your home.
