Wooden Wall Panelling Designs | Top Styles For Your Home

Are you looking to give your walls some extra attention?  Wooden wall panelling is a great way to lend your walls a sense of weight and gravitas. 

Here are the top wooden wall panelling designs that will instantly uplift your interior design game.

1. Shiplap Panelling

Shiplap panelling is a classic design that exudes simplicity and charm. Horizontal boards create clean lines and add a touch of character to any room, while the minimalist aesthetic is easy to incorporate into any style of home. The design is light and bright, making it perfect for any space that needs a little lift.

2. Board and Batten

For a more traditional style, board and batten panelling is an excellent choice - this can be achieved by using our  Shaker MDF Half Wall Panelling Kit (simply install it slightly taller using rectangles instead of squares). The wide boards, combined with the narrow battens, create a pleasing pattern that draws the eye. Board and batten is a classic design that never goes out of style, and it can be painted in any colour to match any décor.

3. Beadboard Panels

Beadboard panelling is a popular choice for home décor, thanks to its classic look and its many benefits. You can recrate this look by using our  Greenwich Tongue & Groove MDF Half Wall Panelling Kit.

With its distinctive rows of vertical beads, beadboard adds a touch of vintage charm to any room. It's also durable and moisture resistant, making it ideal for areas that see a lot of use, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Plus, beadboard is easy to install and can be painted or stained to match any décor. Whether you're going for a farmhouse look or a more modern aesthetic, beadboard is a versatile and stylish option.

4. Raised Panels

Raised panel designs are a popular choice for interior design due to their clean, timeless look. These panels typically consist of a flat centre panel surrounded by a frame with grooves, giving them a rich, textured appearance. Raised panels can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, MDF, or even PVC. The panels can be installed in a variety of ways, either as wainscoting on the lower portion of walls or as full-wall panels.

You can create a similar, more modern version of the below by using our  Shaker Wall Panel Kit as it doesn't feature any intricate moulding within the squares. However, by simply teaming it up with one of our decorative panel mouldings it can instantly be transformed to suit a more traditional home.

5. Slat Wall Panels

Slat wall panels offer a contemporary and sleek aesthetic to enhance any space. The horizontal slats create visually interesting patterns and can be arranged in various configurations. These panels are often used to add a modern touch to feature walls, accent areas, home offices or even retail displays.

6. Geometric Patterns

Geometric patterned wall panels add a bold and artistic flair to any room. These panels feature intricate designs and shapes that create a captivating visual impact. From hexagons to chevron patterns, geometric panels offer a modern and sophisticated touch to elevate your interior design.

7. 3D Panels

Unleash your creativity with 3D wall panels that add depth and texture to your space. These panels feature unique three-dimensional patterns that play with light and shadow, creating a visually stunning effect. 3D panels are available in a variety of designs, from abstract motifs to nature-inspired textures, allowing you to personalise your walls with style. 3D wall panelling is primarily used in gaming rooms.

8. Parquet / Herringbone Panels

Parquet or herringbone panels bring a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room. These panels feature interlocking pieces arranged in a distinct geometric pattern, creating a timeless and luxurious look. Parquet panels can be made from real wood or high-quality laminate for a more budget-friendly option.

9. Reclaimed Wood Panels

Embrace sustainability and rustic charm with reclaimed wood panels. These panels are crafted from salvaged wood, giving them a unique and weathered appearance. Each panel tells a story and adds character to your space. Reclaimed wood panels are perfect for creating an eco-friendly and visually captivating feature wall.

10. Vented Panels

Vented panels combine functionality and style by incorporating ventilation elements into the wall design. These panels allow for improved airflow while adding a decorative element to the space. Vented panels are commonly used in utility rooms, garages, or areas where ventilation is essential. Alternatively, vented panels can be installed for purely aesthetical purposes without a ventilation mechanism.

11. Tongue and Groove Panelling

Tongue and groove panels provide a seamless and interlocking installation method. The panels feature a tongue on one edge and a groove on the other, allowing for easy and secure fitting. This type of panelling creates a smooth and cohesive look, perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to any room.

12. Wainscoting Panel Moulding

Wainscoting panel moulding is a classic choice for adding elegance and charm to interior walls. These panels typically cover the lower portion of the wall, providing a decorative and protective layer. Wainscoting panel moulding comes in various styles, from raised panels to recessed designs, allowing you to achieve the desired aesthetic for your space.

Our  Florence Wall Panelling Kit can help you recreate this style.

13. Laminated Wood Panels

Laminated wood panels offer the natural beauty of wood with added durability and ease of maintenance. These panels consist of a thin layer of real wood veneer bonded to a sturdy backing material. The result is a high-quality panel that mimics the look of solid wood while providing enhanced resistance to moisture and wear. 

Make It Your Own

Each type of panelling mentioned above brings its own unique characteristics and design possibilities. Whether you prefer a traditional, modern, or eclectic style, there's a  wall panelling option to suit your taste and elevate the aesthetics of your space.
