Reverse Board-and-Batten

Traditional board-and-batten has recessed squares with flat strips (or battens) around the edges. This reverse design by @bc_designaz has no battens. Instead, the normally recessed squares are attached directly to the wall.

To give the MDF squares more contrast, the walls were painted with a flat sheen and the squares have a satin finish.

Simple Box Trim

To add interest to a wall without committing to long hours of labor, try simple box trim design, as seen in this entry by @ali.bakun.

Before attaching the wood trim, the husband and wife team measured the size of boxes they wanted and sketched the design on the wall. Then it was a matter of attaching the trim to the walls with a nail gun or adhesive, filling in the holes and painting. An easy project that makes a builder-grade wall look custom.

Modern Accent Wall

This modern trim work designed by @themodelhomelife for @ashtonwoodshomes turns a previously blank wall into a work of art.

The intersecting lines and geometric shapes are the focal point of the room, while the bedding and furniture remain clean and understated. This creates the perfect balance for a relaxing bedroom. The green color is Dried Thyme by Sherwin-Williams.
