Looking for varied depth wood slat wall ideas

4 years ago

Throwing this out as a hail mary ... We have a wall with two different openings for doorways, and are planning on having a local carpenter build us a wood slat wall with hidden doors. What we really want to have him build is a vertically stacked wood wall with thin boards/slats of varying depth - not the alternating, even slat/open space that seems to be most popular.

Problem is that we need to provide the carpenter with specific photos of what we want (he's Amish, so telling him to "google it" is not an option). We're really struggling to find examples, maybe we're just not searching with the right keywords. If anyone has examples, we'd really appreciate it. TIA.

IMO just shiplap in a complicated look and IMO that ship has sailed and sunk . If you know what you want then you draw it for the contractor , it sounds like a compicated idea for no purpose . Post pics of the wall and maybe someone here can come up with another plan, why hidden doors at all. Many ics of hidden door ideas just not exactly what you are thinking You might need to ge get some wood in different thickness to show him exactly in a model .These are 2 that are quite nice ideas and maybe a bit simpler

@Creative Design Cabinetry thanks! That link has some great photos that will be a great starting point for our conversation.

@Patricia Colwell Consulting Agreed on shiplap. I've have never been a fan and that is definitely not what we are looking to do. We have reasons for hidden doors and have done them in previous houses, just looking to try new ideas this time. Chevron paneling isn't our style. I do like the concrete panel look, but this wall is adjacent to a poured concrete wall. i'm sure photos would help, butI I don't like to post pictures of my house on the internet (I know, wrong place for that opinion). Thanks for the ideas though!

Really posting a pic of your home on this site is pretty much a must and how would anyone know where the home is unless you post too much personal info on this site . Without pics we work in the dark and can only guess .
