DIY Wall Niche Decor

We love discovering new ways of adding design to our home and recently came across wall niches. Wall niche are great ways to decorate a plain-looking wall, adding pictures, photos, art pieces, and my favourite – miniature models (Cars, Airplanes, Toys ..). You can install/build wall niches on any interior wall of your home.

This was an easy DIY build as we had all of the right tools and materials. Please continue reading to see how we built our first wall niche on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Materials Needed:

1) Faux Wood Grain Contact Paper (See Amazon Link)

2) Rechargeable Puck Lights (See Amazon Link)

3) 1 in. x 4 in. x 8 ft. MDF Moulding Board (See HomeDepot Link)

4) Other basic woodworking tools like Saw, Screwdriver, Drill, Paintbrush, etc.

Step 1: Decide Location

This step goes easier if you have the pre-drywall pictures of your home. Yes a studfinder can help with finding the stud locations but not the electrical wires or other things hidden behind the drywall.

We had the pre-drywall pictures of our house and this made it easier for us to finalise the location.

Step 2: Measure & Mark

Step 3: Score & Cut

Step 4: Add the Anchors

Step 5: Build a Box

Step 6: Paint & Finishing

DIY – Weathered Wood TV Wall Project

Decor Ideaz, Remodel Ideaz | 0 comments

Last week, one of our close friends asked us for help with his weird TV Nook. Weird because the Smurf tube started right below the TV and ended behind – all within 2 feet !!! It was confusing and didn’t know where to put the media system and how to hide all the wires.

Below is how we solved the Problem. And the best part is that this project took us less than 4 hours!!!

DIY Skill Level Needed:

Materials

8 – Whitewood Framing Studs (Size: 2 in. x 4 in. x 96 in.)
6 – Boxes of Weathered Hardwood Board (8-Piece per Box / Each plank size: 1/2 in. x 4 in. x 4 ft.)
2 – Whitewood Common Board (Size: 1 in. x 8 in. x 8 ft.)
1 – Box of 3-1/2 in. Construction Screw (1 lb.-Box)
1 – Box of 2-1/2 in. Construction Screw (1 lb.-Box)

Before Picture

Observe the media and all the wires

Notice the weird location of Smurfs tube?

Project Day

Step 1: Building Shelve for Media System

The shelves are not touching the back wall so that we have easy access to all cables and to hide unwanted media system stuff above the shelf (will be hidden behind the weathered wood wall)

Built this simple shelf. Used my Ryobi power hand saw for making cuts in the 8 inch Common Boards.

Step 2: Assemble Wall Support. Used my Ryobi small miter for all cuts on the 2 x 4 studs.

Step 3: Install TV Mount on the new Wall Support

Step 4: Install Weathered Boards

Vola!!! Weathered Wall Reveal!!!
