Board and batten headboard wall painted in Benjamin Moore Hale Navy.
About This Project
This Natick primary bedroom had a plain wall behind the bed that the homeowner wanted to make into a focal point. We installed full-height board and batten — vertical boards with narrow battens over the seams — on the headboard wall, painted in a deep navy that contrasts with the rest of the room.
What Made This Project Successful
A single wall makes a big impact
A full-height board and batten treatment on the headboard wall creates a dramatic focal point without the cost of treating the entire room.
