It’s no wonder Plastic Exterior Pvc Sheets has become one of the top decor trends of 2022, and it’s certainly set to stay. We asked six interior designers and specialists to reveal the latest styles and their top tips for adding panelling to your home…
Make the most of your space
“Panelling is an easy way to add texture, depth and interest to walls and great for all types of properties, especially where architectural features are minimal,” says Jenna Choate, Co-Founder at Interior Fox, an interior design studio. “When working with a small space, vertical panelling is a great technique for making walls appear taller as it draws the eye upwards. Another option is to go half-height for a less dominating look, such as behind a desk, or bed to create a headboard. In one project, we created a mini workstation simply by panelling a small section of the bedroom wall with a shelf that doubles up as a dressing table. In large spaces, full-height panelling prevents the room from looking sparse and one-dimensional and can help zone an open-plan space that has multifunctional uses.”
Use wall panelling for functionality
It’s not just about making a space prettier – wall panelling has its practical uses, too. “It’s a great way to create hidden storage, concealing televisions, cabling, toys and games – all the things you’d rather were out of sight,” adds Caroline Milns, Head of Interior Design at ZuluFish, an interior design consultancy, architectural practice. “Panelling provides protection for busy areas of the home, such as the hallway and stairs, where a wipe-clean paint finish ensures it’s easy to maintain. It can also fix walls that are less than perfect, giving straight lines and a smart framework – particularly helpful in bathrooms and kitchens when looking to hide pipework.
