How to Make a Board and Batten Wall Accent - The Home Depot
September 30, 2024 - Before installing a board and batten wall, you should remove and replace existing baseboards. Pick a wall to begin and measure the baseboard’s length. Typically, the battens (vertical boards) should line up, with no unusual overhang. You can compare them to a 1-inch x 3 or 4-inches vertical board, for a more seamless look.

Cheap DIY Board and Batten is everywhere. I’m genuinely curious…
So all board and batten means is this… the batten (smaller piece) just covers the seam of the board (wider piece) It’s originally just a siding style… you clad the structure in boards… then cover the seam with the batten to keep it as air tight as possible When you see it on interior walls, board and batten is just a style of “wainscoting” Wainscoting was originally a nice looking way to help seal and insulate stone walls.. but it also protects from damage better then plaster, or now drywall, from furniture, chairs, knocking into etc… So “board and batten” on an interior wall is just a design style of “wainscoting” A lot of the diyers just glue 1x or plywood strips to drywall because it’s way cheaper than covering your walls in all wood… but creates kinda the same look when it’s all called and painted You have to paint it though… if you want a nice dark wood look, it has to be all wood, you can’t stain drywall More on reddit.com

Wanting to change the board and batten..
I actually don’t see board and batten as just farmhouse style. I see your MCM vibe here and I don’t mind the board and batten with it! If you wanted to go heavy on the wood, you could strip the paint and then stain it. That might give more of an mcm vibe. More on reddit.com

10 Awesome Board and Batten Wall Ideas to Incorporate
March 2, 2023 - When searching for a trim accent wall option, a lot of the walls that pop up are painted. I get why, too. You can buy cheaper wood when you are painting it because the texture, how the wood takes stain, etc., aren't going to be front and center. If you like the look of stained wood paneling or trim, this is going to be a more expensive project but it'll be gorgeous if it has vibes similar to this room! ... I really like this example of batten and board walls because there are GREAT before/after's of the space.

April 16, 2025 - I also came up with a little time saving hack and decided to paint 5 battens properly (sides and face) with two coats of paint; the horizontal MDF battens (3) and the first and last vertical MDF battens (2). This meant I didn’t have to worry about painting them on the wall and fussing around with painters tape; it’s a neat trick if you’re not a professional painter. Step 3: When the paint had dried, I placed the Monarch Plant Based Drop Sheet onto the carpet and installed the horizontal boards using Monarch Construction Adhesive, Monarch Mini Caulking Gun, a level and a brad nail gun.
