Which wall panels
worth choosing? functional and beautiful
Three-dimensional, soft and full of clever accessories... Wall panels for the living room, bedroom or hallway can captivate not only by their appearance, but also by their multitude of applications. In addition to wooden ones, there is a choice of modern upholstered, lamellar and MDF models. Below, we present the various decorative wall panels and describe their qualities.
Finishing walls is only a seemingly easy task. The choice of the right colour and the required materials can determine the atmosphere of an interior. In many cases, this surface also functions as additional storage space. It is sufficient to choose decorative wall panels instead of traditional shelves in order to display and organise small items.
DECORATIVE WALL PANELS - A MULTITUDE OF SHAPES AND FINISHES
Contemporary wall decorations surprise us with their functionality, so that we no longer have to choose between the aesthetics of soft panels and the practicality of hanging shelves and cabinets. We are able to introduce clever solutions, adding variety to the décor of the bedroom, office or children's room. Depending on our expectations, we can opt for square function boards made of MDF or think of wall coffers, which are a cheaper alternative to classic stucco. This type of decoration can easily be painted in any colour and combined with selected furniture.
When choosing a decoration to adorn the wall of a room, in addition to the appearance, it is also worth considering the technical parameters. Wall panels can increase the thermal and acoustic insulation of a room and protect the surface from impacts and scratches. Lightweight and durable, they offer a modern alternative to traditional wooden panels or those made of plaster. Some also allow the attachment of organisers or hooks for easy storage. It is worth considering which of these aspects is particularly important to you.
Wall panels also differ in terms of durability, installation method and ease of cleaning. The ones we want to install in the kitchen should be moisture-resistant.
However, when it comes to decorative wall panels for the children's room, let's be careful about what raw materials they are made of. It is important that the material is safe for the health of the toddler and easy to clean. Surely, more than once you will need to remove a stain from your child's favourite carrot juice.
Regardless of the type, wall panels can be both a minor accent and the main highlight of a room. We suggest how to use their qualities in different interiors.
UPHOLSTERED WALL PANELS - MORE THAN JUST DECORATION
Soft wall panels visually enhance the cosiness of an interior and can also contribute to soundproofing. This is why they are perfect for the bedroom, creating a comfortable backrest or bed head, useful when reading in the evening. Soform upholstered panels will also find their application in the room of the youngest family members. They will serve as protection for the play area, protecting the toddler from breakage during a fall, and additionally create a friendly atmosphere in the children's kingdom. There is a choice of as many as 7 shapes and 12 colours of upholstery fabric. The wall can be decorated with rectangles, hurdles or trapeziums covered with stain-resistant velour or durable fabric with a touch of wool.
Upholstered wall panels can also be used for many practical purposes. Especially if we buy metal hooks on which we can hang a charger or a telephone receiver. Aesthetic rubber bands make it possible to display small items. Simply attach the accessories before sticking the soft decoration to the wall. A composition of upholstered panels will be perfect as a board with notes and inspirations in the office corner. It will also be a great filler for an alcove in a hallway.
We can put the shapes together ourselves or use a ready-made set, composed by a VOX stylist. Large and grey-beige, or small and mustard? There are as many as 20 thoughtfully designed sets of upholstered panels with carefully selected finishes available.
WALL PANELS WITH WOODEN DÉCOR - NOT JUST LATHS
We feel calmer and more relaxed when surrounded by nature. So it is not surprising that we often consider buying wooden wall panels. It is worth knowing that there is also a modern alternative available on the market in the form of much lighter and easier-to-care-for lamellas. Waterproof lamella panels are just as effective at creating a warm interior atmosphere as wooden ones. They also help to demarcate different zones in a room.
The striking Linerio l amellas are available in several colour versions. They differ from each other in the width and thickness of the rungs. What they have in common, however, is their durability and the fact that they are completely recyclable. An easy-to-clean alternative to wooden panels, Linerio lamellas can be used in a wide variety of interiors. The slatted panels can be installed in children's rooms or work areas without any worries. Their warm, natural colour will facilitate relaxation and concentration, helping to calm emotions.
The Slot function board, which is made of practical MDF and covered with birch veneer, also helps to create a natural atmosphere. Its great advantage is that the householder can decide for themselves how they want to use it. Additional shelves, metal bins, felt pockets and pegs will facilitate good organisation. They can help store office accessories and display ornaments, serve as potholders or hangers for outerwear. Covered with irregularly arranged holes, the MDF wall panel will also provide an original decoration, reminiscent of a starry sky.
The simple shape of the Slot board is conducive to combining several pieces with each other. Together they will provide an aesthetically pleasing base for your favourite dishes or books. The square panel will also create a successful duo with Soform's rectangular upholstered panels. Order and beauty in one - an extremely sought-after combination, which a thoughtful wall decoration will provide.
DECORATIVE WALL PANELS - A DREAM MIX FOR THE HALLWAY, LIVING ROOM OR KITCHEN
Every room in our house deserves special treatment. An empty wall, which so far has only been a background that has been overlooked by our eyes, can now become the main character, building the atmosphere of the entire arrangement. Bedroom wall panels can also serve as headrests, while those mounted in other rooms can help us keep things tidy. The possibility to freely combine different solutions means that we are able to perfectly match the appearance of the wall to our taste and needs.
Wall panels for the hallway can act as a handy hanger for clothes or help to store small items. The most frequently used handbag, like a scarf or sunglasses, will from now on always be at hand, thus avoiding morning searches. Soft upholstered panels with elastics can additionally make it easier to exchange messages with household members.
In a work corner in the living room or a separate workroom, wall decorations will keep tools and necessary materials organised. Simply attach pegs to the Slot function board, which will serve as hangers, and place organisers on them. The whole structure should be complemented with Soform upholstered panels, which will bring a touch of colour to the room and allow you to attach notes with pins.
The advantage of modern wall panels is that they can easily be used even in a difficult and demanding room. For the kitchen, simply choose non-flammable and moisture-resistant ones that can be easily cleaned with a cloth. With Kerradeco decorative panels, any wall can impress with a geometric pattern or a realistic texture, imitating concrete, wood or stone.
An interesting solution for the kitchen can also be the installation of a functional Slot board. The pegs will create an airy space for drying herbs or mushrooms, while special hooks will serve as hangers for the cutting board and food preparation utensils. Soup lovers can place their most frequently used ladle here, while fresh plant lovers can fit a container for basil, oregano or parsley.
FITTING WALL PANELS? SIMPLE!
Nowadays, more and more people are choosing to change their décor themselves. It is best if it is non-invasive and quick. Using one of the solutions described above, we can organise a comfortable work space, create an elegant bed headrest or secure a children's play area in just a few moments.
Soform upholstered panels can be fixed with glue or Velcro tape. It only takes a quarter of an hour - we can surprise a household member and arrange a soft backrest at their favourite bench in their absence. The Slot Boards, which are MDF wall panels, can be assembled with the included quick-mounting dowels. The complete set means that we don't have to plan the refreshment of the décor in advance while gathering the necessary accessories.
Linero lamella panels will be fixed vertically, horizontally or diagonally with mounting adhesive. Simply apply the substance to the panel, forming an S-shape. The length of the decoration can be adjusted using a hand saw, jigsaw or table saw. A few lamellas are enough to visually separate a work area from a leisure area or create a three-dimensional effect on a wall or ceiling. The same glue will also be used to assemble Kerradeco wall panels, which are joined together tongue-and-groove. After gluing the decoration in place, the room will be ready for use immediately.
Keep in mind that not all wall panels are installed in a simple and intuitive way. It is advisable to read the instructions before purchase in order to choose the product best suited to your needs.
