Wood Effect

What is panel wallpaper?

Panel wallpaper creates the illusion that the wall has been painted or has wood panelling. It comes in several distinctive styles, from rustic and weather-worn to sleek and ultra-modern slat designs. Most people will recognise the classic square and rectangular wood panels of drawing rooms in grand mansions. These traditional panels offer a timeless quality that can be transferred to contemporary living rooms thanks to the clever shading and detailing of panel wallpaper. This 3D effect can add depth and character to any room in any house, whether a Victorian semi-detached, a cosy cottage or a city penthouse. 

What are the benefits of panel wallpaper?

Panel wallpaper is super versatile – pair it with minimalist furniture for contemporary design, or with plenty of blankets and cushions for cosy farmhouse vibes. Wood panel wallpaper looks just like the real thing. It’s available in natural wood colours and features grain details, distressed effects or shading to add texture to your walls. The panelling effect works in most rooms, creating a sense of academia in a study, a touch of prestige in a living room, a cosy aesthetic for a bedroom, a welcoming ambience for a hallway or an air of sophistication in a dining room. Whether you want colourful panels, deep sophisticated shades or the illusion of faded grandeur, panel wallpaper delivers. 

Natural wood panel wallpaper

Whether you’re looking for a statement wall, a touch of texture or a natural look, wood panel wallpaper comes in all styles. If you want to create a cosy or rustic cabin vibe, choose a design with a detailed grain effect and rivets for the perfect illusion. Cane rattan mesh panel prints in natural tones bring a touch of East Asian sunshine to European walls.
