Absolutely love this look, do you think it would be easy to make yourself from wooden beading? Has anyone tried it?

Hi Kate. My brother did in his first place and it looked great. At that point he was a complete novice at DIY. There's a few tips on height, width here if that helps

I have applied wooden beading to plain doors to give them character and it worked really well. I can't imagine it would be difficult to do the same to walls. I used double sided sticky tape to attach them to the doors, but imagine that you'd need to use glue to stick them to the walls.

Trickiest part probably will be to get the proportions right. Would suggest you try it out with painters tape first. Mitre the corners of the wood, glue to the walls and paint.

Alternatively, there are wallpapers that will give you the panelled look too. (Cole and Son, library panel)

Hi Sangita, your best bet is to hire a skilled joiner as there is not a wide selection of wood panelling available online in the UK (it looks like the style in the image is quite American). If you are looking to re-create the exact style, which has pretty wide slats then I would approach a joiner who can build this for you. Reason I suggest this is because all the plumbing and electrics needs to be rigged through the panelling as well. There is also a good article within Houzz on wood panelling: https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/discover-the-power-of-wood-panelling-in-bathrooms-stsetivw-vs~55361617 Hope that helps Rukmini Patel Interior Design

Thank you plusmarcus. So my thought about the side panels was how do you decide where the bedsides go? Do they sit in the middle of the side panels or do they sit so that the two beads line up with the middle of the bedsides? If you put the bedside in the middle of the side panel they are too far from the bed. And if you put them so the beads are in the middle of bedside they are too close? With the original "B" photo I wondered how the proportions would work with bedsides. Would bigger bedsides in the same style as the bed work better? Sorry might just be my OCD, but where you have them now, for me, throws off the original proportions.

https://youtu.be/S5G1NG1UpfI This is one of the videos that I watched (over & over again). It briefly covers the measurements from about 1.50mins into the video. It’s basically; measuring the width of the room, subtract the total width of all the spaces/boarders then dividing it by the number of frames you want. I think anything from 600mm onwards works. Some go for slimmer, others go for wider, but again it’s whatever is works for your room & you. We ended going for two slim/side panels (I think 650mm) & a wider middle panel (I think 2100) - just because of the way our headboard. All the different panels look great. I personally wanted to add more depth on our wall so I decided to use 90mm thick MDF boarders (but make sure you have the same thickness decorative panels/frame), instead of just putting the frames on the wall. With regards to tips for the measurements, I saw / read somewhere (probably Pinterest or YouTube) that if you are going to have a bottom or lower rails / section (then your lower part should be at least a meter from the floor - I think that’s so chairs don’t scrape the rails. Regarding width I think whatever looks best in your room. Again what works best for your room. Ps I would also add that from a personal prospective leaving the same amount of room at the top/bottom/sides makes it look better. Sorry if any of that was like teaching you how to suck eggs. I’m very excited (perhaps too excited)😊This is literally the only thing that I’ve made since secondary school apart from a airing cupboard shelves. Normally I’d pay for someone else to do it. Hopefully you found one thing helpful. Good luck.

I think you could do a two flanking a giant one to pick out the furniture, maybe like this: Uses the first three colour tests on the wall and some antiqued mirror infill for the sides, you could even incorporate LED strip lighting into the panel Beeding to breath a gentle mood light onto the wall and mirrors? The light switch could be easily dealt with, if you're laying panelling onto the wall just make sure its about the same thickness as the switch and its cut to fit flush around it, you can then paint the fitting to match, leave as is or change it to a stylish one to match the room.
