2. DIY Wooden Wall Art Panels

Wood wall art can be geometric, abstract, rustic, or modern. With scrap pieces or inexpensive lumber, you can create artworks that look high-end.

Design Concept

Arrange cut wood pieces into patterns—chevron, herringbone, mosaic, diagonal lines, or irregular shapes. Mount them onto a backing board and frame them.

Materials

  • Scrap wood or trim strips
  • Plywood backing
  • Wood glue
  • Clamps
  • Stain in two or more tones
  • Frame material

Build Steps

  1. Design your pattern on paper first.
  2. Cut wood strips at desired angles.
  3. Apply glue and place pieces onto plywood.
  4. Clamp until dry.
  5. Sand lightly and stain selectively to create contrast.
  6. Add a simple frame.
