And don't worry if you're a total beginner and are not a DIY whizz, as thanks to cheap buys from Homebase, there's no cutting involved.
Posting on social media, Katie, a mother from the UK, gave her followers a before, during and after look at her baby Immie's bedroom, which we think is one of the fanciest looking nurseries we have ever seen.
Alongside the short clip, the content creator penned: 'How we panelled the nursery for under £50…'
Not only this, but Katie then added: 'We picked up the boards from Homebase.

'They were pre-cut so it made it super easy!'
What was once a totally plain wall, has since been given a total overhaul with DIY panelling.
In Katie's video, viewers saw her partner stick down the panel boards to their daughter's nursery wall.
The Shaker Wall Panel Kit that Katie bought is currently available to buy on the Homebase website.

It secures easily to walls with glue, nails or screws and fits with multiple kits for longer runs.
According to the online listing, the Homebase buy comes 'pre-cut, saving you time and effort during installation'.
I wasn't going to shell out £80 on panelling kits so found a way to get the wood I needed for £24
Not only will these panel kids 'add character' to bedrooms and lounges, but they will also 'help you create the perfect finish in any space'.
Whilst the kits were once priced at £34, they have since been slashed down to £28, making them perfect for those on a budget.
