Look I Love and How to Get It: Board and Batten Wall Trim

Move over Joanna Gaines’ shiplap frenzy! I predict a new wall craze taking over.

Earlier this week I posted to Instagram stories a look I absolutely love and want to do in our nursery.

I saw this photo come up in Studio Mcgee’s instagram stories and it’s not the first time I’ve seen it… it just sparked the inspiration for the nursery! So I screenshotted.

PERFECT for the bare white wall behind the crib in our little nursery. What is it called?! How do I get it?!

Of course, I asked all of you.

Consensus is that it’s a type of Board and Batten – more properly called Applied Box Molding. Applied molding is simply this and is a bit more formal and traditional–at least a bit too much so for a baby boy’s nursery–in my opinion. And apparently it’s fairly easy to DIY (if you have access to a power saw, nail gun, and spray painting tool).

I think this works especially well in small spaces (bedrooms, nurseries, offices, mud room, bathroom, etc.). Or on the main wall of a bedroom! Adding sconces would be an amazing touch.

Here’s more inspiration….
