Living room paneling ideas, from traditional to modern

(Image credit: Heju)

So you've decided on living room paneling ideas for your space, but what style exactly? You might be surprised at the versatility of wall paneling and how it can be used in the space. From rustic and traditional to contemporary and sleek, paneling can be used in myriad ways to transform a room from boring to beautiful, no matter the size or style of the space.

Even after you've decided on the feel you want to create for this living room wall decor idea, there's a huge variety of styles to choose from, from classic beadboard and Shaker-style to modern, geometric slats. 

'Panelling will add character and reflect a period style that is emphasized when hit with light,' says Justyna Korczynska of paint brand Crown. 'As the sun moves throughout the day shadows and texture will be created from the reflection of the sun. Paneling looks great when color-matched to form a drenched wall.'

Take a look at these creative ways to use wall paneling that suit living rooms particularly well.

Creative living room paneling ideas to try

This so to speak 'trend' has been around since the 13th century, a way to add a decorative flourish to a room. For practical purposes, wooden wall paneling offered insulation and protection from dampness and cold.

Over time the popularity of this design grew and it became an ornate and intricate feature, seen in country manors and palaces. The styles of Georgian, Victorian, and Boiserie paneling became mainstays and, in the 18th century, wainscot paneling took over interiors. 

Today, the style seen in modern living rooms is a wonderful confluence of all the yesteryear designs. This feature can transform a room from a vintage-looking space, to one that looks extremely modern and eye-catching. What style do you prefer? 

'Paneling adds character and depth to the living room,' says Poppy Peace, group creative director at Milc Interiors . 'As well as being a stylistic choice, it also serves a practical purpose of softening acoustics and protecting the walls. There are a variety of options available, from more traditional styles like wooden beading to fabric-covered panels which echo a contemporary look and give a comforting feel to a room.'

If your home doesn't already have wall paneling, then consider installing them but think about the proportions of your room first. In a small living room, paneling half a wall might help it feel less cramped. Choose designs that have a special period-specific feel, either made to measure or off the peg. And, if you love the feel of it, you could continue the panelling up the stairs if your living room is close to one.

1. Choose neutral panels as the perfect backdrop

Sometimes subtlety is the best design idea. Case in point: this wonderful interior. Just the hint of beautiful, straight lines that look like a long gallery wall, painted a soft white could lift your interiors and even provide a wonderful canvas to highlight other elements.

With a decorative wall like this, choose living room furniture pieces that make a statement. Bright colors or bold patterns would look even more accentuated. Remember though, that you want to place items and furniture that do not extend till or above the paneling. Think of the frames as artworks – you want them to be seen easily. 

'I would advise being sympathetic to the period of the property when deciding on the style of paneling,' says Emma Gurner, founder of Folds Inside .  'For this Victorian house, I used beading by Orac Decor which is a durable material and easy to apply. The overall effect adds a sense of grandeur and accentuates the generous proportions of the room.'

2. Try a modern slatted timber wall decor

In this living room, the large, wooden panels complement the scale of the artwork, and the earthy materiality of the room and amplify the feeling of space, creating an added element of height and grandeur. Wall panels can easily stand in as an accent element in your living room. 

Interestingly, if you like the concept of panels but want to try something unique, consider fabric wall panels that look just as good as wood, make a statement and allow you to mix patterns into the room. 

3. Add panelling to built-in living room storage

There are more ways than one of using this design element. Forget walls for a moment and think of creative living room storage ideas by paneling the front of built-in storage.  

'The concept for this apartment was natural urbanity, so we chose a combination of materials, round lines, and colours that express nature and tranquillity,' says Natalie Gedalia, principal designer at YGNG . 'Green, earthy brown, sand combined with the city's concrete and straight lines in rhythmic repetitiveness were chosen for the living room. The green paneling unit in wood covers an entire wall, its ridges giving an organic feel to the space.'

4. Paint panels in a contrast to give them a lift

Sometimes you don't need lots of art or decor items to make a space pop. Work on the existing architectural features or elements and lift them for an effortlessly chic look. This living room paint idea for painting paneling in a contrast is a brilliant way to highlight this feature.

'The wall panels were original but we wanted to emphasize this geometric form by applying color,' says Hélène Pinaud, founder of Heju . 'The blue color is Granite Indigo from Papermint by Mercadier and the pink is Middleton Pink by Farrow & Ball . '

5. Choose three quarter panels 

(Image credit: Milc Interiors )

Paneling can be a great way to add grandeur to an elegant living room. And nothing is more flattering to the proportions of a lofty, period space than three quarter panelling. It not only adds decorative detail, but helps the ceiling look bigger, creating an optical illusion than particularly suits narrow spaces. 

A wall and ceiling contrast can work especially well in a double-height room where breaking up the visuals, you can bring the visual volume of the room down and make it seem cozier. 

Experiment with soft color contrasts for a stylish visual, as in this scheme. Choose hues that are either adjacent to each other on the color wheel or go for soft tones and pair them with grey, beige, or cream, the most friendly neutrals. 

6. Create a period look with decorative panels

While basic paneling can be created with DIY store mouldings, you can now find more intricate, decorative-style paneling made from modern composite materials, as well as traditional plaster reliefs. This makes achieving this look more achievable than ever. 

'Brands like Orac Decor have changed the game when it comes to decorative wall mouldings,' explains Livingetc's Hugh Metcalf, 'but for an authentic choice to suit your property, your best bet is still architectural plasterwork company, who handcraft each delicately.' 

7. Experiment with color block on wall panels

Not only do bright hues lift the mood of the room but those who use it, so why not consider going bold and bright with your wall paneling? A great way to customize your panels is by accentuating them with paint. But don't just brush a flat color onto them and call it a day. Think of interesting living room color ideas, consider unique color effects, like this color block effect.

'Combining paneling and bold hues with texture in the furniture adds depth and creativity,' says Justyna of paint brand Crown . 'Use similarly strong shades and rich patterns to add another layer of color to your room for a strong bold look. Or if you prefer simplicity, make the hues on your panels the heroes and use minimal and neutral-colored furniture and accessories.' 

'The color of your walls will then become the main focus of the room,' Justyna adds. 'Plus the highlights and shadows created by the paneling will add another level to your feature color creating a very bold statement wall.'

8. Camouflage a door with wall panels

Sometimes a living room will lead to ancillary rooms like a store room or a small kitchen. Sometimes, a surplus door in your space can look jarring, so why not try a hidden door idea? 

Hidden doors work brilliantly with lots of different kinds of wall paneling, but especially modern wall slats. Tactile and inviting, this is a great decorative idea, adding texture and coziness to your living room. 

9. Add paneling to the ceiling to add interest

The benefits of paneling aren't just limited to walls. They can be applied to ceilings too. As the attraction of accent wall ideas has waned in recent years, decorating the ceiling has taken off as the way to bring in a feature on one surface but that unites the whole room. And this applies to paneling too. 

Slatted panels are the most commonly seen on ceilings, offering the benefit of acoustic insulation between floors, particularly useful if you're decorating an apartment anywhere but the top floor, while styles like coffered ceilings tend to more common than applying Shaker-style paneling to the ceilings. 

What is the best material for wall paneling?

Wall paneling can be used for several purposes. It can be used to hide unsightly walls, exposed wiring, as an accent feature, or suspended from the ceiling to give the space a decorative look. It can add to a luxury living room or give it an earthy touch.

When it comes to materials, there are a few viable options to try. Natural wood has inherent warmth, and richness, and can be sanded, sealed, and polished to make it look as good as new, always. The drawback, of course, is the cost. 

MDF is a more economical option. The panels are porous so can be finished in paint or metallic finishes. MDF isn't as suitable for areas like the bathroom, however. 

Fabric panels like leather, leatherette, and velvet look elegant and give a rich touch to spaces. Even tufted upholstered panels with biscuit, blind, diamond, and channel tufting can give the spaces a unique look.

Finally, PVC panels are waterproof, hygenic, and do not attract dust. Its non-porous surface does not promote the growth of mold or mildew. These are available in many colors, patterns, and textures.

Does paneling make a room look bigger?

With clever design tricks, you can make a space seem taller and larger. If you have a small living room with low ceilings, you can create the illusion of more height with vertical panels or stripes. The tall panels will trick the eye into believing the room has more height, space, and room.

Panels are used for wall cladding instead of wallpaper or paint. They hide wall defects and add accent to interior design. Wall paneling looks aesthetically pleasing and fits equally well into modern and classic interiors. nine0003

What problems in the interior can be solved with wall panels

1

Defects and uneven walls. Walls with bulges, slopes and through holes are a common problem for apartments in the secondary market, especially Khrushchevs.
The paint on such walls falls unevenly, the color is uneven. And wallpapering turns into a real quest: due to the fact that the wall goes downhill, it is difficult to draw a neat drawing, and wallpaper consumption increases. nine0021 The solution to the problem is wall paneling. You don’t have to join the pattern, as when pasting wallpaper, so after the repair there will be almost no waste left. Irregularities, chips and through holes on the walls do not need to be removed: they will not be visible behind the panel.

2

Wires in sight. Wires from household appliances are striking in the interior. They also get confused, interfere and can be dangerous for children and animals. nine0021 Fasten the wires to the wall before installing the panels. The panels are not installed close to the wall, leaving an air gap. This place is just enough to hide everything that spoils the look of the interior.

3

Poor sound insulation. Thin walls are a common problem in apartments in high-rise buildings. Because of this, the sounds of the working TV in the living room are heard in the bedroom. Or a child in the nursery wakes up from the noise from the next room.
The panels will not solve the problem completely, but they will help improve the situation. The air gap between the wall and the panels softens the sounds from neighboring rooms and apartments, thereby increasing sound insulation. nine0003

Wall panel finishing materials

The base of the panel is made of MDF, wood or chipboard. Veneer, eco-veneer or enamel is applied to the base. Topped with a layer of decorative varnish that protects the finish from damage. The material will not wear out over time, scratch or fade even in direct sunlight.

1

Veneer - a thin cut of natural wood. For panels choose American walnut, ash, wenge, olive, eucalyptus, sucupira. Dark shades are suitable for a hallway or office, light ones for a bedroom or living room.
A layer of decorative varnish emphasizes the structure of the wood and protects the finish from damage.

Ecoveneer - polypropylene or PVC film with a wood or paint texture. The material does not fade in the sun and does not absorb moisture. nine0021 Eco-veneer is resistant to scratches, so it is suitable for a house or apartment with pets.

Enamel is a finish made of polymer additives, resins and colorants. All components form a film that protects the surface from damage. The finish is strong and durable. A layer of decorative varnish additionally protects against chips and cracks.
For wall panels, Italian enamel is used, which does not fade in the sun. For example, white enamel does not turn yellow over time. nine0021 Doors with enamel panels can be painted in any color from the RAL Classic palette. Among 196 colors you will find the right shade for your interior.
Enameled panels look harmoniously in classic and modern interiors.

Veneer and enamel is a finishing material that combines the properties of two materials at once. Ash veneer is responsible for aesthetics. This is a light, almost white, tree with bright annual rings. But ash is soft, it needs reliable protection from household damage. Enamel copes with this task. nine0021 One or two layers of enamel are applied to the veneer. Enamel performs not only a protective function, but also an aesthetic one. With one layer, you get an open-pore veneer - a surface with a slight sheen and a clearly traced wood pattern. Two layers form a closed-pore veneer - the wood pattern is less visible, but the enamel color is deeper.
Wall panels with enamel veneer will fit into a neoclassical interior. The solution is also suitable for a modern interior, for example, in a Scandinavian style. nine0003

5

Gloss is lacquered veneer or enamel. To get a glossy panel, 5-7 layers of colorless Italian varnish are applied to the base. Each layer is allowed to dry, carefully polished, then the next one is applied. The peculiarity of the gloss is a pronounced gloss and a mirror surface.

Living Room Wall Panels - Photo & Review

In fact, everything is much more interesting and attractive than it might seem at first glance. There are so many materials for wall decoration that ordinary wallpaper seems to be something simple and banal. nine0003

In this article we will talk about how such panels are used in the interior of the living room? What are their advantages and disadvantages? Let's talk about the types and varieties of such panels. And also how to fix them correctly.

Wall panels: pros and cons

When choosing such a finishing method as wall panels in the living room, you should carefully consider what they are and what the final result will be. It is necessary to study in detail all the pros and cons of the panels in this room. The advantage of this finish is as follows:

  1. wall panels are easy to attach. It does not require special special skills and the help of specialists. If time allows and hands, as they say, grow from there, then everything will seem simple;
  2. soundproofing material can be placed under these panels without any problems. For example, mineral wool, which will isolate the room from intrusive noises coming from neighboring apartments;
  3. wall panels have an attractive appearance. So, there is no need to specially decorate the surface; nine0155
  4. and a very important argument “for” is that there is no need to level the original walls, plaster and carry out similar work, thanks to a properly fixed profile, the walls will turn out to be even and smooth.

As for the shortcomings, first of all, they are associated with the characteristics of the materials from which they are made.

Varieties of wall panels

In order to make the right choice of wall panels, you need to know what varieties of them the finishing materials market offers. Wall panels are classified according to shape and size, the following types are distinguished:

Material and texture of panels

In the manufacture of wall panels, different materials are used, which provides them with different performance and external characteristics. So, panels can be made from the following materials:

MDF wall panels are wood fiber treated with high pressure and heat. At the same time, the composition of such panels does not include resins and toxic phenols, which means that they can be considered environmentally friendly, and they can be used not only for finishing office premises, but also at home in the living room or bedroom.

The surface of the panel is matte, glossy and textured. They do not require special care, because thanks to the laminated surface, dust practically does not stick, therefore it is enough to wipe them with a damp cloth as needed. In addition, such panels do not fade in the sun and are easily dismantled. nine0003

Plastic wall panels are also environmentally friendly, while they have good sound insulation and retain heat. It is possible to use such panels when decorating the walls of the living room, but we would not advise them to close up all the walls with them, but to combine them with other material.

They are best used in rooms with high humidity. The color scheme of these wall panels is diverse, so you can choose them for the appropriate interior. The service life of the panels is very high, they are sheathed with walls even in country houses, which may not be heated in winter. nine0003

Panels made from trees such as alder, maple, cherry, ash, cedar, oak are used not only for finishing ceilings, but also for creating partitions in the living room and such architectural structures as columns and arches. Very often combine wall panels from different types of wood. To extend the service life, such panels are coated with a special wax or varnish. But remember that such panels are very sensitive to moisture.

Recently, glass and 3D panels have appeared. At first, it may not be clear what they are. But in fact, glass panels are a well-known apron in the kitchen. Therefore, we will not talk about this type of panels as a decoration for the living room. As for 3D panels, they are made of a special material consisting of three layers: basic, embossed and decorative. The main layer can be made using gypsum or MDF, the decorative layer can be treated with varnish, enamel, veneer or even leather. nine0003

Mounting methods

Regardless of the type of panels, before they are directly attached to the wall, a lattice is constructed from wooden logs and metal profiles. These logs are fixed on the wall with the help of self-tapping screws at the required distance from each other. The thickness of such a log is from 20 to 30 mm. Then a wall panel is attached to the grate using special brackets or self-tapping screws.

Panels can be connected to each other in two ways: groove to groove or groove to tongue. Individual wall elements can be attached with silicone or acrylic based adhesives. If you need to fix the TV on a wall sheathed with wall panels, you need to think about its mounting in advance. It is better to screw fasteners into a rough concrete wall, all unnecessary parts will subsequently be covered with panels, this approach will ensure the reliability of the entire structure.
