The Easiest Wood Paneling in the World

As you're applying the wood to the wall, don't worry if the panels aren't completely flush. If your wall is a dark color you won't even see the gaps. Another thing you can do is to overlap the panels to get rid of the gaps. The wood is thin enough so that you'll hardly notice the overlap.

Nothing maintains this wall treatment better than a tack cloth. Keep your cloth in the plastic wrapper so it remains sticky, and periodically wipe the wood with it. For tougher stains, a damp cloth will clean the wood without harming it since you've sealed the wood with polyurethane.
