Which Room, Which Wall Panel?

There is a rich, diverse selection of wall panels to choose from offering a dynamic array of different colours, finishes and styles. While there is a wall panel to suit any requirement, it can seem a little daunting when picking a panel for a specific room - but it shouldn't. To help you on your interior design journey, in this blog, we’ll be showcasing the best wall panels for specific rooms! 

Use wall panels to create a living room with depth 

One of the most popular spaces for wall panels is the living room. These are rooms where we relax, host friends and family, and are the beating heart of the home. As a result, they deserve even more love and attention when it comes to styling. 

While totally a matter of personal taste, some of the best wall panels for living rooms include traditional wood wall panels, acoustic slatwall panels,a popular choice for media walls and MDF panelling. These styles offer a varied selection of options to pick from including nature inspired Arborelle Wood Wall Panels, fluted panels, reeded panels. You can add natural elements to living room walls with wooden wall panels, or enrich your colour scheme by choosing pre-primed paintable panels which you can customise to suit any colour palette.

Soothe your space with bedroom wall panels

Like living rooms, bedrooms are important parts of the home that warrant some extra interior design details. Yes, you can add paintable wall panels to a bedroom to dramatic effect, but some of the best choices are wall panels with a natural, calming finish.

Walnut, washed oak and black wall panels are excellent choices for bedrooms, helping to manifest a soothing and relaxing decor. For best results, consider half height wall panels which can be paired with wallpaper or a complimentary colour to give the space an organic, homely energy. You can also consider premium quality acoustic wall panels which help to limit external noise, in turn helping you enjoy better quality sleep.

Beautiful, bathroom ready wall panels 

Bathroom wall panels look beautiful and add a stylish finish to the space - it’s just important you first find the right panels. 

Traditional wood wall panels are not an ideal choice for bathrooms as moisture and humidity can significantly diminish their long term appeal. That said, there are some fantastic options, specially designed for bathrooms, that are waterproof and as stylish as any alternative. 

Stone effect shower panels offer a luxurious, durable, high quality finish to a bathroom. Sivara PVC Shower Panels offer a similarly beautiful aesthetic and stylish finishes and colours including fossil grey, natural stone and birch wood. Both of these specialist shower panels are 100% waterproof and offer a more cost effective solution to traditional tiles.

Splashproof ready wall panels for kitchens

Kitchens can also be humid spaces, so a similar approach to panels should be applied here. 

While you can add waterproof wall panels throughout a kitchen, one of the most popular uses for kitchen panels is as a splashback behind your hob. As with bathrooms, these panels are a fantastic, more cost effective alternative to traditional tiles while adding an equally eye-catching effect. 

While stone effect wall panels are ideal for kitchens, so too are Legacy MDF Panels which are also moisture resistant. As a paintable panel, you can also easily incorporate them into your chosen colour scheme.

While the rooms listed above are the most common rooms to find wall panels in, they’re not the only ones.

Nurseries and children's rooms that spark imagination 

Nurseries are magical spaces where children’s imaginations flourish and they feel safe. With easily customisable MDF panels and panelling kits, you can create a nursery that’s full of personality and suits any chosen interior style with these nursery panels.

Pet friendly wall panels

Pets are beloved members of the family but they can get muddy and cause mess with astonishing ease. Waterproof wall panels are easily wipeable and the perfect choice for high traffic areas - especially where pets rub against the walls. These can be added in your hallway for any quick paw cleaning, or in any room where you dry off your four-legged friends.
