Living Room

It’s clear that media walls have become more than just a trend, as they continue to be a popular choice in interior design. The style is here to stay, especially now that slat panels are available in a wider range of colours and patterns.

With so many options, it's easier than ever to find a design that suits your living room—whether you want a neutral colour to match your furniture or a bold herringbone pattern for a modern look.

Bathroom

Bathroom renovations are very rare in most homes. Known for being long and costly, bathrooms are typically decorated once and then left untouched until wear and tear become noticeable.

Shower panels have emerged as the ultimate solution, offering a more affordable and practical alternative to tiles. Unlike tiles, shower panels require only adhesive to install and can cover large surface areas, eliminating the need to install tiles one by one.

Additionally, shower panels can be placed on top of existing tiles, avoiding the need to remove them and repair any underlying damage—a process often necessary when installing a different tile pattern.

PVC shower panels can also be used to create a feature wall that complements the room’s existing style. Are your shower tiles old, worn, and covered in mould? Install new shower panels over them. With one simple DIY project, your bathroom can look brand new—whether you opt for a tile-effect design to maintain the current aesthetic or a completely fresh style for a full transformation.

Hallway

Turn your hallway into a glorious spectacle every time you walk through the door. Often an overlooked space, the hallway can become something you're proud of with a simple DIY project—installing panels.

A popular hallway style is MDF panels along the staircase, known for their timeless appearance and the ability to customise them.

Without a doubt, tongue and groove panelling is a style with real longevity, as the panels can be repainted in the future if you decide to redecorate or change the aesthetic of your home.

Bedroom

It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you need to completely redecorate a bedroom to make it feel like new.

This is your sign to put down the paintbrush and stop scrolling for new furniture—there are other ways to refresh your bedroom without painting the walls or replacing furniture that’s perfectly fine as it is.

Just one wall of panelling can elevate your existing bedroom décor and completely change the aesthetic.

Slat panels create a rustic, cabin-like vibe; MDF panels add a charming countryside feel; and stone-effect panels give an industrial look.

Dining Room

Dress your walls for every gathering, dinner party—even every evening meal. Slat panels create a decorative backdrop to the dining table that helps define the space if your kitchen is open-plan, and they also serve as a focal point in the room.

Slat panels are an excellent choice for dining rooms (or open-plan kitchens) as they are available in a variety of colours, allowing them to blend seamlessly with different kitchen styles—whether your room is modern, monochromatic, traditional, or farmhouse-inspired.

Utility Room

It is important to prioritise functionality when designing a utility room and to position appliances to create the most productive layout. Be meticulous with a floor plan—you want the washer and dryer close by, a surface within reaching distance to organise clothing, and shelves or storage to keep the room tidy.

And then comes the exciting part—decorating. Turning the room into a space that is more than just a place for chores.

The utility room below is the perfect blend of functionality and charm. The mix of neutral colours, organic textures like wicker baskets, and greenery gives the space a welcoming appearance with a cottage-like feel.

The customisable MDF panels, painted white, add depth to otherwise plain walls.

The options are truly endless when it comes to decorating your home with wall panels. With a wide range of styles and colours available, they make it easy to turn your vision into reality. With just one quick and simple DIY project, you can completely transform a bedroom, hallway, or dining room and give it an entirely new look.
