“My inspiration came from Instagram. I’ve seen several accounts using this kind of dashboard, and I knew I wanted it,” Calsey told the latest deal. “I’ve seen a lot of companies doing stupid billing, so I thought I’d do it myself. I’ve done a lot of self-employment so I know I can do it without any difficulty.

“If someone did this for me, it would cost me around £300.” Instead, he decided to go the DIY route, explaining: “I use B&Q MDF tape and nail-free glue to attach them to the wall.”

“I’m glad I did it myself,” he muses, “because not only did I save money, I packed, finished the shelf and cut it myself.” A visible shelf on the right side of the wall provides a reflective border to Increase visual appeal.

How to Make a Wooden Wall

“The most important piece of advice I can give you is don’t be afraid to try it yourself,” Calsey says. Added “You don’t need any tools to create this look – I just used a chainsaw to cut the MDF to size.”

Kalsi bought the ribbons and cut them together. He then glued them to the wall with fire-resistant glue, making sure there was equal space between each strip.

To ensure the design was perfectly positioned, Calsey used a divider to measure the distance.

Once all the strips were in place, Calsey painted them with Craig and Rose Paint’s Regency Cream.

After all the editing was done, Calsey decided to add the character to the bookshelf. “I just fixed them to the wall at different angles to create the final look,” he explained. Well done, Bravo Calsey.
