Slat wall assembly

1. A slat wall assembly, comprising:

a first slat having:

a body which includes an upper edge and a lower edge; and

a lower flange emanating from the lower edge, which is in a U-shaped configuration, wherein one of an upper edge of the lower flange forms an upper curve defining an inward wall having an inner surface, a downward wall extending downwardly from the inward wall having an inner surface and wherein the downward wall abuts an existing wall, and an outward wall having an inward surface which extends outwardly from the downward wall and away from the existing wall and a support wall, wherein the support wall extends from one end of the outward wall defining a curved section and projects inwardly toward the existing wall;

an attachment assembly associable with the downward wall of the lower flange of the first slat, the attachment assembly facilitating attachment of the first slat to the existing wall;

a second slat having:

a body which includes an upper edge and a lower edge; and

an upper flange emanating from the upper edge, wherein the upper flange abuts the curved section of the support wall, the upper flange having an inner wall, and an upward wall extending upright and parallel to at least of portion of the downward wall of the lower flange and an outward wall of the upper flange having an inner surface, wherein the outward wall of the upper flange abuts the inward wall of the lower flange, the upward wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, and an inner wall, wherein the inward wall of the lower flange abuts the outward wall of the upper flange; and wherein the upper flange is configured to be insertable into the lower flange of the first slat and retainable therein, such that the inward wall of the lower flange and the outward wall of the upper flange create a nested configuration, and wherein a substantial majority of the upper flange is retained within the lower flange when in the nested configuration, the upper and lower flanges defining an outwardly opening cavity capable of receiving and retaining at least a portion of an outside object therewithin, and wherein the downward wall of the lower flange and the upward wall of the upper flange form a chamber for containing the attachment assembly, and further wherein the upward wall conceals the attachment assembly, and further wherein the outer surfaces of the bodies of the first and second slats are vertically planar when in the nested configuration, and further wherein the inner wall of the upper flange and the outward wall of the lower flange are parallel to each other and orthogonal to the outer surfaces of the bodies of the first and second slats and the upward wall of the upper flange when in the nested configuration, and further wherein the chamber is vertically positioned between the inner surface of the inward wall of the lower flange and the inner surface of the outward wall of the lower flange and horizontally positioned between the inner surface of the downward wall of the lower flange and the inner surface of the upward wall of the upper flange, and further wherein the outwardly opening cavity is vertically positioned between the inner surface of the outward wall of the upper flange and the inner surface of the inner wall of the upper edge and horizontally positioned between the outer surface of the upward wall of the upper flange and the existing wall.

2. The slat wall assembly of claim 1 , wherein the lower flange comprises a contour extending from the lower edge of the first slat having, in succession, a bulge region, the inward wall, the downward wall, and the outward wall.

3. The slat wall assembly of claim 2 , wherein the upper flange comprises a contour extending from the upper edge of the second slat having, in succession, the inward wall, the upward wall, and the outward wall.

4. The slat wall assembly of claim 3 , wherein the downward wall of the lower flange further includes a plurality of openings positioned along the retaining recess at predetermined intervals.

5. The slat wall assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a trim assembly positioned along an edge of the first and second slats.

6. The slat wall assembly of claim 5 , wherein the trim assembly includes:

a base bracket having one of at least one leg and at least one receiving region;

a finishing bracket having the other of at least one leg and at least one receiving region,

wherein the finishing bracket and the base bracket are releasably associated with each other by way of the at least one leg and the at least one receiving region.
