HOW DIY AN AFFORDABLE WOOD SLAT WALL
I came across the wood slat wall trend last year and I couldn’t wait to try it out. I looked into prefabricated options to avoid carpentry and construction, but they were all so expensive. I decided to give this DIY project a try and I’m so happy I did. Guys, it was actually pretty easy!
I decided to use this design as an accent wall in my living room. To match the aesthetic of my home, I went with an all black finish. To avoid painting my walls black, I applied a black contact paper as the background and used a black stain for the wood. All materials can be found here https://a.co/5VJsT3c
