How to Install Board and Batten in a Bathroom for a Fresh Look

Putting in board and batten paneling in a toilet provides a conventional look. This layered design creates texture when mild catches the raised battens.

Make a simple DIY board and batten wall in a toilet by putting in one-by-four and one-by-six lumber instantly on the toilet wall. Caulk and latex paint make the board and batten wall waterproof and prepared for toilet use.

Earlier than You Start

When planning the board and batten structure, maintain these design ideas in thoughts.

• Area the vertical battens 10 to 25 inches aside horizontally.
• Intention for 4 to 5 panels (the house between the battens) per 8 toes. Fewer panels look sparse, and extra panels look busy.
• Begin with one batten at every far aspect, then work inward.
• Keep in mind that 1x lumber (like one-by-fours) is at all times 1/2-inch narrower than its acknowledged width. One-by-fours are 3-1/2 inches broad. One-by-sixes are 5-1/2 inches broad.
