Why choose a wooden panel design?

For those that don’t want to carry out any extravagant renovation work, a wall panel is an ideal option. Wall panels are also preferable when working with a budget since a lot can be achieved even with limited resources. 

Suitable for updating your interior as well as adding practicality, wall panels can be used in all sorts of interiors spanning rustic cottages to contemporary apartments. 

Wooden panels are also a great way to elevate architectural elements too and place emphasis on already existing features. They can be used to complement wooden beams, for example, or to create different segments in a home and separate the interior spaces. 

Wall panel design for living room ideas

One of the main spaces people choose to install wooden panels is living rooms. While wooden panels can work across any space retrospectively, living rooms are often the areas we spend most of our time in. 

Wall panel design ideas you can try include extending wooden panelling across the ceiling for a canopy-like feature, using wall panelling to creatively display artwork, and bringing a splash of bold colour to any room. 

MDF wall panel designs for bedrooms

MDF wall panel designs are for those working with a tighter budget, MDF wall panels can be a great alternative to timber panels. However, where you can afford to, we always recommend using timber or another durable wood for your wall panels as they will likely last longer. 

Wooden panels can look striking as a backdrop in a bedroom, especially when finished to a high standard. MDF works well as it can be easily cut and painted to suit the aesthetic that you want to create. Popular panel designs for bedrooms include ribbed panelling behind the bed, boho cane panels, and the incorporation of open shelving for storage. 

Wooden wall panelling for bathrooms

Bathrooms are another space in which wall panels can be used to add interesting design features and practical elements. Many people choose to use panels as an alternative to tiling for an equally seamless finish. 

Moisture-resistant MDF panelling is highly suitable for bathrooms since it won’t warp. If you choose to panel a bathroom, we recommend these types of sheets. 

Choosing quality wood for wall panels

Sourcing quality wood to create bespoke wall panels for your home or interior space is highly important. 

The last thing you want is to end up spending time designing your panels only to have to replace them months later.
