How to Choose the Right Wall Panels for Your Home

Choosing the right wall panel for your home can be confusing due to the plethora of designs, colours, and textures now available. However, it needn’t be that daunting. We’ve asked our team of experts to provide a few hints and tips on how best to choose the right wall panels for you and your home.

Pick Your Colour

Firstly, pick the colour of your new wall panel. If your wall panels are being added to an already established design, then choosing a colour to complement the existing room is the best option.

If you are renovating an entire space, then the options are endless. If the room is small, you may wish to stick with lighter, more neutral colours to help create the illusion of space. However, do not dismiss darker shades entirely, as they can produce a more cosy, intimate environment. It all depends on the ambience you are wanting to create!

Choose a Style

Once you’ve chosen a colour, you need to select a style. There is an array of designs from which to choose, from traditional tile and luxurious marble to contemporary concrete and sparkle effect. Your choice may well depend on the current design of your room, into which your new wall panels will be installed, or it could be based on the style and age of your home.

Stone

Stone-effect wall panels are a luxurious addition to any room and fit perfectly into both traditional and contemporary surroundings. These lightweight panels effortlessly emulate real stone, but are lightweight, easy to install, and durable.

Marble

Marble is an extremely luxurious – and therefore expensive – material to use. Marble-effect wall panels help you recreate this opulence but without the associated cost.

Wood

Wood-effect wall panels are the perfect addition to any countryside cottage or seaside hideaway. These panels recreate the beauty of real timber, but are 100% waterproof, long lasting and hygienic.

Sparkle

Sparkle-effect wall panels add a touch of glamour to any room. Whether contemporary or traditional, these easy to maintain wall panels will catch the eye in any style of home.

Determine the Size

The size of wall panel you choose can have an impact on the overall effect of your room. For example, in a smaller sized space you may wish to choose large tiles, as they help to create a more spacious feel. However, if you are installing your wall panels behind a hob or sink you may opt for smaller, brick-shaped tiles, to create an eye-catching focus point.

Choose Your Trim

Once you have chosen your new wall panels, do not forget those finishing touches. A trim will help your wall panels last longer, as well as giving a professional, complete finish to your renovation. The thickness of trim will depend on the thickness of your chosen wall panel.
