DIY HERRINGBONE ACCENT WALL

We recently finished this accent wall in our guest room and I’m so excited to
share it with you. We were a little intimidated by the herringbone pattern at
first, but once you get it started, it’s a pretty easy process. The hardest part
for us was all of the cuts around the windows. If you have a full wall, this
would go much faster. Let’s dig into how to do it!
STEP 1: DETERMINE HOW MUCH DURADECOR VINYL YOU’LL NEED FOR YOUR WALL
First, measure your wall to determine total square feet (length x height). Our
wall is approximately 117 sq ft. Each box covers 20 square feet.
Divide your wall square footage by 20 and round up. For a herringbone pattern,
add about 15% for waste from cuts.
STEP 2: MARK THE CENTER OF YOUR WALL
Finding your center point is really important to ensure you end up with an even
herringbone pattern at the end of your project.

STEP 3: ATTACH THE FIRST 2 BOARDS
Now we get to start the fun stuff! Take two of your planks and mark the center
of one end of each board. Line the planks up (bottom of each plank should hit
your baseboard or floor) on the wall along the center line. You can use a speed
square to confirm you have 90 degrees.
Once you know how they will be placed, mark the bottom line to make the 45
degree cut. We used a box cutting knife and a straight edge on ours. Once cut,
remove the backing and stick them to the wall.
STEP 4: CONTINUE ADDING BOARDS TO THE WALL
As you are working, it is up to you if you want to move up or out. For us, we
worked on the center section first because that did not require any cuts. If you
are working on a full wall, you could also work your way out and then up. If you
have your pattern correct, the order in which you do it should not really
matter.
On thing to note: All cuts (besides cutting around outlets and other obstacles)
should be 45 degrees. Again, we used the box cutting knife and straight edge
tool to make these cuts. When in doubt, cut too long and you can always trim
down.
Once you are finished, if you have any edges where the boards are not perfectly
straight, run a bead of caulk for a more seamless look.
Also, if the herringbone pattern feels overwhelming to you, these planks would
also look beautiful in a simple vertical or horizontal installation. I love to
see your finished products, so be sure to email them to me or share them with me
on Instagram.
STEP 5: ROLL THE WALL USING A VINYL ROLLER
This step will ensure all of your boards adhere to the wall properly. You can
find these at any home improvement store. I have also linked one here for you.

I love the look but question if the adhesive will separate after a while if
you use a humidifier or live in a humid area. If it is strong, what would
happen to the drywall when you’ll want to remove it a few years later? I’d
attach these beautiful planks to a board instead and use it as a headboard or
use a stencil and paint faux planks on the wall. To each his own.

I LOVE the herringbone design.
I wonder if the pattern helps keep the planks in place.
I did a mostly vertical pattern on my pantry door and within the first day
they were sagging. So I shot it with my brad gun.
