In this DIY project, the Struik family shows how you can easily cover the wall beautifully. Custom-sawn MDF black moisture-resistant 9mm boards were used for this project. Read more about the approach and experience below.

Description of the Struik family

We wanted a dark colored one on the wall behind the organ, so that it would look nicer. The wall was white over the entire length, and we thought a bit of a break in this would be a good idea. But because painting a plastered wall would often not produce a nice, straight line, we came up with the idea of making a box of MDF panels behind it. It would also be better to go back to a flat/plastered wall if it was disappointing or if we were fed up with it.

How I made this project

We ordered two (black 9 mm) MDF panel parts, each with a bevelled edge so that they would fit better against each other and no white would show through from the wall behind it if there was some effect in it. We aligned these plates in the center of the organ and then attached them to the wall with percussion plugs. Then marked where the socket was hidden and made it visible again using a hole drill. After this, the plates only had to be painted (3x).
