Materials And Tools Needed To Make A DIY Retro Wall Panel Installation

- Hammer
- White nails — Or same colored nails as the panels
How To Make A DIY Retro Wall Panel Installation
First, get a general idea of your layout before attaching any panels to the wall.
You can do this by laying them out on floor and marking the backs on each one.
Or if you’re doing just a solid pattern, determine the width and height you want. Then, start at the bottom following a straight (and level) edge all the way up.
To do this, simply use small same colored nails in each of the four corners of every panel.
This will make the panels super sturdy and flush without leaving giant holes or any adhesive residue on the walls when you move out (or decide to go with a new look!).
What do you think? Is this something you all would create for an accent wall?!
Honestly, it’s super inexpensive for how much of a statement it makes. And it’s super easy to install so I’m a big advocate for it! Consider this friendly peer pressure.
