Nursery safe wood for accent wall?

4 years ago

Hello! I'd like to create a board and batten look accent wall in our baby's nursery but am worried about using harmful wood or products. Most tutorials include using some kind of board and furring strips. Any help with choosing the best/safest wood options for this would be so appreciated!

Wood is actually safe straight from a tree! Hence, wood cutting boards. Your only issue is do not use reclaimed or exterior wood products as you cannot confirm treatments. Just find the pieces you want and create a beautiful baby’s room.

Thanks for the help. I see things like PureBond plywood and it says formaldehyde free so I thought I needed to search in that category? Was thinking plywood would be the best route for the board part? We have textured walls so I would need something there. Sorry I am a complete novice in this stuff

And MDF stuff is a no go right?

MDF would be the best option, bar none. It is smoother, paints better, and is the standard for use in the furniture and cabinet making industry. It’s what all the Wayfair or Ikea furniture in that room is made from already.
