How to Choose the Right Wall Panel for Your Space
Share
Upgrading your space? Wall panels are one of the quickest ways to transform a room’s look and feel without a full renovation. But how do you pick the right one? Here are a few tips to help you choose wall panels that suit your style, space, and mood.
1️⃣ Match to Room Lighting and Size
Lighting makes a huge difference.
-
Small, dim rooms: Go for light-colored or reflective panels like glossy PVC marble to brighten and visually expand the space.
-
Large, open areas: Darker or matte textures can make big rooms feel cozier and more inviting.
🔍 Pro Tip: Use vertical fluted panels in low-ceiling rooms to make the walls appear taller. Horizontal patterns work great in narrow areas to visually widen the space.
2️⃣ Choose Texture for Mood and Function
The texture of your wall panel isn’t just about looks — it sets the tone for your space.
-
Smooth panels: Clean, modern, and perfect for minimalist spaces.
-
Wood slats or fluted designs: Add warmth, depth, and sound absorption, great for living rooms or entertainment areas.
-
Patterned or 3D panels: Ideal for accent walls where you want to create a statement.
🔍 Pro Tip: Mix and match textures within a room to add layers and keep the design interesting — like pairing smooth marble with wood slats for a luxe, balanced look.
3️⃣ Think About the Room’s Purpose
Some panels work better in certain areas.
-
Moisture-resistant panels: Best for bathrooms, kitchens, and basements.
-
Acoustic panels: Great for offices, media rooms, or bedrooms where sound control matters.
-
Decorative panels: Perfect for entryways, dining areas, or behind a TV.
🔍 Pro Tip: Always request a sample kit before committing to a full order — test how it looks in your lighting and against your existing furniture and flooring.
