REDO YOUR INTERIORS WITH THESE MODERN WALL PANELLING IDEAS

Moulding out futuristic interior inspiration from old gone trends (or fads) is as much intriguing as innovative. So is the latest trend of ‘wall panelling’. Although the previous style may resonate to barns or stables for some and mere wall protecting element to others, its reincarnation inspired by the concept of architectural shapes is bringing a galore of aesthetically fresh ideas in the world of home decor – they are 3D, unabashedly experimental, inviting to unconventional textures and colour spectrums, and of course very gorgeous. Have a look at these carefully curated inspirations to add an element of newness and character to your abode.  

When panelling shakes hands with mid-century modern

The easiest panelling style to achieve a minimal yet artistic look is to simply infuse any trend with mid-century modern principles. It is forever classic, sets a great warm tone for your ambience, and this one especially works great as a backdrop – for your powder room, gallery wall, foyer, staircase, or even bathroom. Make it as eclectic or subtle for its great compatibility with almost all hues of the shade card. Thinking electric blue armchairs or a cream floor rug, this one will not disappoint.

Shortcut to panelling

Commitment issues with wood panelling? No problem, here’s a clever way of doing it. Instead of doing panelling on the full wall, you can place it in the headboard form right behind the bed. This way your bedroom won’t talk a lot of panel per se but will satiate your little-sweet liking for the trend. The wooden headboard won't disappoint your expectations at all, you can experiment from the pool of different woods, hues, and textures; moreover, it’ll subtly do its job to protect your wall.

Trellis-patterned walls

Another great way to bring a cosy-yet-elevated aesthetic with panelling is with patterned panelling. There’s a plenitude of 3D designs available to be inspired by - from mosaics to fish scales – but we loved this unique yet very vintage Trellis-pattern – its intricate and symmetrical overlap gives a character to space. Despite being dominating such patterns leave enough space to play with tiles and paints.

Whitewashed panels for a coastal look

Consider floor-to-ceiling whitewashed panels for creating the impression of a coastal-side bungalow. You can opt for thin panels in undone white paint to create a raw vibe or paint them in finesse with Benjamin Moore’s White Dove. You can enhance the theme even more by centring a pendant chandelier in the premises or you can take the panel game a notch higher with a vaulted panel in the ceiling fitted with industrial style lighting and there you go, the beachy vibe is on.

Cotton candy panelling

Getting a soothing theme onboard is not so tough if you choose the goodies from pastel palette – we absolutely loved the blush pink wall panel! The combination of pastels with woven décor accessories and timber wood furniture will enlighten any space, be it the study room, bedroom or a patio. Plus, if you would like to add a little of spark to this otherwise cotton candy theme we suggest accessorising the place with metallic elements or even a life-size painting besides the panelled wall will easily magnify the aesthetic. Moreover, this is one secret to make any corner look grand and mush-free – now you know that visual expansion of the room is not so hard to crack, all you have to do is sprinkle the millennial pink on your walls accompanied by chic counterparts and let your home be the address for beauty.

The barn had a luxurious makeover

Wood textured panelling may sound very 70’s but trust, the reclaimed wood has had an ultra-chic makeover that leaves no stereotype in the sight. Despite being all luxurious and voguish the original warmth and earthiness of this concept never goes out of style, and we love its inevitable connect to the now trending ‘organic buzz’. Let other elements walk hand-in-hand with the wood-panelled walls, be it the artistic wooden trunk table or chocolate-y velvet and suede sofas, it is sure to create visual interest while maintaining the rich-warm palette.
