How to Install Accent Wall Panels Like a Pro

Learning how to install accent walls can be a game-changer for anyone looking to add a touch of style to their living space.

Our easy-to-follow 5-step process will have you confidently installing Affinity Stone veneer panels with ease, no matter your level of experience. Let’s dive right into learning how to install accent wall panels!

Step 1: Install the Starter Strip

When installing a DIY faux stone wall, begin by installing the starter strip. Place the top of the strip 4 ¼ inches above where you want the bottom of the stone panel to be.

Step 2: Set the First Course

Begin installing stone veneer at the corner of your wall by connecting the panels from right to left. Thanks to the unique geometry of Affinity Stone’s pieces, installing stone veneer panels in this direction allows for easy stacking. Before screwing in, make sure that the connecting panels are flush – if they are not level here, it could affect the whole DIY stone accent wall! Repeat this basic installation process until the first course is complete.

Step 3: Cut Panels (When Necessary)

As you begin to stack panels as part of your DIY interior stone wall installation, you may need to cut panels to stagger the lengths and create a natural pattern while breaking up the seam leading up the wall. To do this, use a diamond blade and the proper safety equipment to cut the stone panels. Place the edge of the panel directly against the fence of the saw and cut to your desired length.

Step 4: Stack the Panels

Once your stone veneer panels are cut, stacking is easy! To break up the Z-seam going up the wall, use a panel that you cut in half to begin the second course of the DIY faux stone wall. After the initial partial panel, alternate with a whole panel and repeat this pattern as needed.

Step 5: Pre-drill & Countersink

By now, the hardest part of your DIY interior stone wall is done! After sliding your last panels using their convenient tongue and groove connectors, pre-drill and countersink your final fasteners to the wall. Affinity Stone’s DIY faux stone panel installation video demonstrates how to do this using several different examples, so it’s worth checking out before attempting this on your own!
