How To Build Accent Wall (That’ll Impress Everyone)

This Accent Wall video brings just the right amount of how-to, humor, and original design that you will be dying to design & build your own accent wall right now! This is an all new original accent wall idea that has never been done before. I walk you through each and every step to show you how we did it. We did all the work to figure this out so you can make your own and create an original design too. For such an impactful project we were impressed that it didn't break the bank. This is simply MDF and paint. You will turn any boring room into a focal point of the home that everyone will envy.....and it won't be like all of those other accent walls with just a couple of battens on the wall.
We had a great time with this project and I got a lot of help from Mrs Sawdust and friends. It may seem like a tough project but I think really anyone could do it.

This is the best accent wall I have ever seen. Well done!

That's a very cool idea for an accent wall. I would have never thought about reversing it, and the rabbits on all the pieces where a nice touch!

Okay… this is insane! You’ve really upped your game! This is far and away one of the coolest accent walls I ever seen and completely original! Also, I love the little clips you added to spice the video up. That was some great editing!

Surprised you didn't work in the Weezer flying W in there. Great looking wall.

Great accent wall! What are your thoughts of changing the order of process? First do the whole MDF process. Patch holes and seams. Prime entire wall. Paint MDF pieces, then paint recessed areas (original wall)?

I really like the wall and want to make sure I have the best process. Who better to ask than folks who’ve done it?
