Quick and easy hack creates DIY wall panelling without using any power tools
By Rachael Gavin|
W?all panelling is a simple way to elevate your plain walls with decorative timber mouldings.
It's actually one of the easiest? DIYs you can do in the home, but can be a little fiddly and requires cut pieces of timber to work.
However, a TikToker has revealed a quick and easy way to add wainscotting to your ?walls without having to cut a pieces of timber or drill a hole.
The DIYer, who goes by the handle @filiz.interior, gave a tutorial for the hack in a video on her channel.
Watch the video above.?
Instead of getting enough timber mouldings to make multiple rectangle shapes on the bottom half of her wall, she used several Ikea picture frames.
Filiz Interior chose the Edsbruk frame in the 61 x 91cm size, which costs $59.
?After taking the glass and backing out of the frame she sanded and painted it white to match her walls.

She then attached the five frames to her walls, placing them at the same height with an equal distance apart.
Then Filiz Interior painted the wall and frames the same colour, and added a picture rail in the middle of the wall to finish it off.
The DIYers hack has been popular online with 1.5 million views so far.
While people loved the hack, many noted that it wasn't the cheapest way to add wall panelling, but it is likely the easiest.
"Now that's what an IKEA hack is!" one said.
"This seems a way I wouldn't bodge it up," commented a viewer.

Anyone who wants to DIY wall panelling but doesn't want to pay for individual photo frames should head to their local hardware store.
You can buy pieces of timber moulding for much less and a lot of stores will cut it to size for you.
And if you'd like to try cutting to size yourself or just do the mitred (angled) edges, you can pick up a mitre box and saw at Bunnings for as low as $18.50. This tool allows you to cut pieces of wood at precise angles without needing a power saw.?
