To measure a wall for wood accent installation, first measure the height and width of the wall using a tape measure. Multiply these numbers to get the total square footage of the wall (Height x Width = Square Feet). This gives you an estimate of the material you’ll need. If the wall has windows, doors, or other obstacles, subtract the area of these elements from the total square footage. It’s a good idea to purchase extra material (around 10%) to account for mistakes, waste, or future repairs during installation.
