Luke created a wall panelling effect for less
A savvy DIY lover has shared how he transformed his bedroom for less by using B&Q and Homebase bargains.
"I went to B&Q first, picking up Valspar paint matched to Farrow & Ball in the shade London Stone for £27. I also got No More Nails glue for under £5, wood filler for under £5 and Valspar primer for £25. Then I went to Homebase and picked up two packs of six MDF boards, 10cm x 120cm, for £38. All in all, the supplies cost just under £100.
"The next step was to cut the boards to the length I wanted. I pre-cut the panels so that I could ensure they went two-thirds of the way up the wall as I wanted. If you are going to have a board going horizontally across the top or bottom of your paneling, make sure you have a board or two that will fit the measurement.
"I used caulking to fill in the gaps between the boards and the wall, then used frog tape to cover the parts of the wall I didn’t want painting - such as the skirting boards and the wall above the panelling.
