How to Make a DIY Wood Slat Wall
Even though fluted wall paneling looks great and adds striking texture to a room, theres a reason you dont see a lot of it. Slat wall paneling costs a couple of hundred dollars a linear foot. You can get a similar look, cheaper, with pole wrap paneling. But the best way to mimic the look of the high-end fluted wall paneling is with individual slats of wood. Were going to show you how to do just that, so you get a gorgeous fluted wall at a fraction of the cost. Its easier than it looks and makes a harmonious, contemporary accent wall in any room of your home.
Our DIY slat wall paneling is made of slim, vertical strips of wood that run from floor to ceiling. Theyre attached to the wall with nails. The slats range from ½-inch wide to 2-inches wide, depending on the look youre going for. You can buy 1-inch-by-2-inch slats and work with those, or if you feel confident in your woodworking skills cut larger pieces of wood to the desired size.

The spacing between the slats can vary as well. Make sure the space you leave between the slats is less than the width of the slats. You want more wood to show than wall. For this project, we placed 2-inch-wide wood slats 1-inch apart.
The paint color behind the slats is important since it shows through the gaps between the wood. Paint it a dark color to add drama and depth. We chose Valspars Noir in a matte finish.
