• Installing the wood panel is similar to hanging giant wallpaper. You need to start with the corner of the wall, or if you wish to prepare all the four walls with wood panel, then you need to measure the corners first.

• The rough estimate could be made for the wood panels, just by measuring circumference of the room and then dividing it by four; the measurement should be in feet. For a perfect measurement, be careful while marking the lengths, width and height.

• You work will become easy if your wall condition is good, and you can use adhesive to attach the wood panels directly on the wall.
