If you love the look of board and batten accent walls, but live in an apartment like I do, then I have the solution for how you can achieve a board and batten (or wainscoting) wall all without power tools, nails or permanent fixtures, and without painting the walls. When it's time to move out, this feature wall is completely removable!

This is an easy DIY tutorial where I take you through the entire process of how to install a renterfriendly board and batten wall from start to finish. The end result is INCREDIBLE!✨
