Make your baby's room unique with wainscoting

Jochem has delivered a beautiful piece of craftsmanship with the realization of a green wainscoting in the nursery. The wainscoting not only provides a stylish look, but also offers protection for the walls and adds a warm atmosphere to the room.

The structure of the project

The wainscoting is custom made from high-quality MDF wood, perfectly cut by OPMAATZAGEN.nl. The project began by installing the MDF panels, which are easy to fit thanks to their precise dimensions. The panels were then painted in a fresh green hue that contrasts beautifully with the room’s playful wallpaper.

Ideal place for creativity

The nursery is the ideal place for this wainscoting. The green colour creates a calming atmosphere that fits perfectly with the childish fantasy world of the wallpaper. The whole creates a harmonious ambiance in which children can feel both safe and playful.

Unique features

What makes the wainscoting extra special is the mix of sleek lines and the warm look of MDF wood. It is not only an eye-catcher, but also very functional and easy to maintain. Thanks to the customization of OPMAATZAGEN.nl, no corner was too difficult and everything fits together seamlessly.

Benefits of creating your own custom work

By creating a project yourself, like this wainscoting, you have complete control over the dimensions, materials, and costs. You can incorporate your unique style and preferences without sacrificing quality. Plus, it provides a sense of satisfaction and pride when you see the end result.

Wood types: MDF Primed

For this project, MDF Primed was chosen, a versatile wood that is easy to work with and paint. MDF is ideal because it has a smooth finish and is very stable, meaning the panelling will continue to look fantastic for years to come.

Step by step guide

Preparation

  • Calculate what dimensions you need to take into account. We chose to use the 122x61 cm MDF panels for the base. Based on that, we looked at how we could connect the surfaces nicely by placing the beams level with the separations between the large panels. We also chose to use the top and bottom beams as the base and then the side beams in between.

Montage

  • After we had placed the large panels with sealant (important that they are level) we first placed the top beam (sealant), then checked with the bottom beam whether the upright beams were not too large (where necessary, sawed off the deviation of the upright beams). Then the upright beams were sealed and then the bottom beam.

Finish

  • First we put everything in primer, then sealed all the corners and cracks with painter's putty. Then we lightly sanded everything and put it in varnish twice.

Tips from Jochem

Make sure you measure accurately before you start sawing. After all, good preparation is half the battle and prevents unnecessary repetition. Also, don't forget to use sandpaper to neatly finish the edges before painting. This ensures a smooth, professional finish.

General experience

Ordering was pretty straightforward, only on a mobile device a bit tricky due to the large amount of planks from 1 large plank. However, I got the inspiration here and was able to make the right decisions for this project.
