The savvy style of this project comes from screwless wall plates in black, white, and silver finishes. The clean and contemporary design coordinates well with a sleek home office.
Project Details
Rough cost estimate: $95 (Does not include applicable taxes, which vary by market, or the cost of tools.)
Rough time estimate: 1 day
Instructions
Painted the same color as the wall, the plywood piece blends in and allows the wall plates to stand out.
1. Ask a Lowe’s employee in the lumber department to cut the plywood sheet to 20 x 24 inches.
2. Sand the plywood piece, and wipe clean. Apply spray primer and paint to the piece, allowing each coat to dry.
3. Place the wall plates at right angles on the plywood piece, alternating colors as shown here. Glue the plates to the plywood piece. Allow glue to dry completely.
4. Hang the project using picture hangers and appropriate hardware for your wall type.
