EASY DIY Beadboard Wall

Adding beautiful architectural interest to your home not only adds value, but also makes your home yours. Clearly, there are many ways you can add details to your home that create character. I've always been drawn to styles and looks that create a sense of history, that make it feel like it's been around for decades. Personally, I believe adding traditional beadboard wainscoting not only adds cottage charm to any room, but also creates a sense of history.

We have updated every space in our home except the laundry room, so this is the year! The space of the laundry room is not bad, but the finishes never reflected me or my tastes. From the florescent light fixture to the laminate and oak cabinets, it all needs to go.


My plan it not only to update the laundry room, but also create an area for jackets, coats and shoes. Actually, creating a mini mudroom within the laundry room. 
For phase one of this makeover, we will begin with the long wall to the right when you enter the laundry room. I feel like this is the perfect space to create hanging storage.

My first thought was to create a board and batten wall. But I feel like that's not really the style of my home.

So, as I thought about it a bit more, I thought a traditional beadboard wainscoting would be more fitting for my home.

Adding a traditional beadboard wainscoting it really not that difficult. In fact, Steph and I were able to complete it in an afternoon.

Pro-Tip: to make the installation easier. We had each beadboard panel cut at The Home Depot to the height we needed,  5 feet.


Pro-Tip: Purchasing primed boards will save you time.


Personally, I love this wall! It totally changes the feel of my laundry room. Now, if I were to turn the camera the opposite direction, it would look the same, but the right side of my room looks amazing.


Not only is this wall beautiful now, but it's also functional. When we come in through the garage, we now have a place to hang our coats, jackets and bags. Yeah!!!

I can't wait until the shoe storage is in place too.
