Wall cladding is one of the fastest ways to change a room. Panels add texture, colour and light without the time and mess of plaster or tiles. Here are twelve ideas that designers, contractors and retailers are using in modern interiors.

Key points

  • Slatted and fluted panels add depth and warmth.
  • Marble and stone looks give a premium feel at a lower cost and weight than real stone.
  • LED profiles turn a panel wall into a feature.
  • Matching floors, walls and trims create a complete look.

12 wall cladding ideas

1. Slatted wood TV walls

Vertical slats behind the TV hide cables and add warmth to living rooms.

2. Fluted panels in reception areas

Fluted textures catch the light and give hotel and office receptions a premium look.

3. Marble-look feature walls

Large marble-look panels bring the look of stone to majlis rooms, lobbies and bathrooms.

4. Carbon slate walls

Dark slate-look panels create a strong, modern backdrop for shops and showrooms.

5. LED light lines

LED profiles between panels or along ceilings add soft, indirect light.

6. Headboard walls in hotel rooms

A panelled wall behind the bed makes hotel rooms feel finished and easy to maintain.

7. Half-height panelling

Panels on the lower part of the wall protect corridors and dining areas from chairs and trolleys.

8. Matching floor and wall tones

Using the same wood tone on floors and walls creates a calm, continuous space.

9. Contrasting black frames

Black trims and corners outline panels for a graphic, modern look.

10. Wet-room panels in bathrooms

SPC and PVC panels replace tiles in bathrooms, with fewer joints and faster installation.

11. Curved and wavy panels

Wavy panel designs soften spaces such as lounges, salons and boutiques.

12. Branded walls in retail

Panels in brand colours with LED lines turn a shop wall into a display.
