They are particularly practical if there is not much room for decoration in the bedroom, as they offer additional storage space. This accent wall will turn your bedroom area into a focal point. Wooden panels are real all-rounders in interior design; for example, they can also be used to make a very simple build your own coat rack.

It’s time to start spraying! Consistent perpendicular movements give you the best result. The handle extension means you can also reach the upper edges.

Now align the suction tube depending on how you are going to work - forwards if you want to spray downwards and backwards if you want to spray objects overhead. Now screw the spray attachment onto the container.

The spray jet can be adjusted three ways so that you can adapt it perfectly to your way of working and projects. Always perform a test spray on a piece of cardboard first so that you can find the ideal settings for you.

A step-by-step guide: Wooden wall panelling in the children's room

In addition to the bedroom wall design, DIY wood panels can also be used in other rooms. How about the children's room? Wood panel walls create a trendy and natural look in the children's room and can be coloured as required. The panel also works well as a decorative element for the seating area of a cabinet.

  • Semi circular slats
  • 0.5 cm thin chipboard
  • Desired colour for spraying the wall panel
  • Masking Wood glue

Step 1: Cut the slats to size and glue them

Cut the slats to the desired length and then glue them to a chipboard panel as the basis for the wall panelling. Start with the second batten so that you can later glue the holes to the last two battens on the left and right. Be careful not to use too much glue.

Step 2: Spray back wall with battens

Now spray the entire wall covering with the battens with paint. Suitable for this task is the W590 FLEXiO paint sprayer ideal, as the fine material application during spraying distributes the paint evenly, even in the grooves. Whether plain or in bright colours - everything is possible.

Step 3: Attach lamp 

To set the scene for the wall covering with an additional light source, simply attach a lamp. You can hide the cable behind the wall by drilling a hole in the wall covering. Now screw the panelling onto the wall.
