Panels in the interior: a variety of options for creating an original design (27 photos)

Ten years ago, the market of wall decoration materials did not differ in a wide range of different textures. The owners of city apartments and country houses had only a few ways: painting and wallpapering. Fortunately, now there are a huge number of solutions for creating a spectacular and sophisticated design, and wall panels in the interior are considered one of the absolute trends of 2019.

If you have recently become the proud owner of a city apartment or a country house or dream of updating an existing environment, the best solution for you would be decorative wall panels. A few years ago, this type of decoration was very popular among the owners of office space. Now they are actively used to create interiors for the bathroom, toilet, corridor, living room, kitchen and even the bedroom. Modern wall panels have a large number of shades and textures, are inexpensive and are made from both natural and synthetic raw materials. But the main advantage of decorative panels for decoration of residential premises is the fact that they can be installed independently without the involvement of third-party construction organizations. In addition, they are mounted on any surface, carefully hiding their flaws.

This year, modern designers are increasingly using 3D panels in the interior. The volume of images and surprisingly deep texture perfectly complements the design of any stylistic orientation. They are actively used even when creating an environment in the bathroom and toilet.

Types and varieties of wall panels

All types of this finishing material differ from each other in shape, size, as well as manufacturing technology and installation features, so it is advisable to say that the appearance of the interior depends entirely on the chosen options.

Rack Mounted Panels

As you may have guessed, the appearance of this material is a combination of long slats (standard size - 2.4-3.7 meters) with a width of about 30 centimeters and a thickness of not more than 12 mm. Because of their size, they have become in demand when creating interiors for hallways, kitchen areas, bathrooms and toilets. In general, they are used where the processed room has a small area and a large number of corners. To install these panels, it is necessary to prepare the facing surface, fixing a crate of metal or wood on it. To connect the products, special brackets and a construction stapler are used. Sometimes you can do with self-tapping screws. Rack panels are made of chipboard, fiberboard, PVC. MDF panels in the interior look very stylish and interesting. Some manufacturers add special accessories to the kit to help hide the joint seams.

Light wood panels in the interior can create a beneficial optical illusion of freedom of space. Pastel and white tones push the boundaries and make the room more spacious. To enhance the effect, you can install the panel on the ceiling.

Tiled Wall Panels

From the name it is clear that these products are in the form of a square. In this case, the size of the tiles can be any - the length of one side sometimes reaches 100 centimeters. They are mounted on the wall of the bathroom, living room or kitchen with a clamp. The connecting element is the grooves with inserts.

If you purchase tiles of different designs and compose them into a single design of one of the walls of the room, you will get a very interesting and original version that will greatly enliven the classic-style decor.

By the way, wood-like panels in the interior look elegant if you place them at different angles and build several levels from them. If you add a few elements from the light panels to them, the wall will gain volume and stand out from the background of the overall picture.

Sheet panels

Of all the above species, they are the largest. The most common material is fiberboard and PVC. Sheets have a complex multilayer structure, and fancy patterns, interesting ornaments, imitation of bricks, natural stone, wood and even reptile skin are created on the surface. The panels are attached to the wall with special glue, and the seams are filled with molding. The main advantage of the finish is the possibility of covering large surfaces with cladding.

Choose materials

Currently, various types of raw materials are used in the production of wall panels, from plastic and polyvinyl chloride to cork and glass. Naturally, the cost of the tile depends on what materials they are made of.

Not only the aesthetic component of the interior depends on the choice of certain products, but also the well-being of the inhabitants of the house!

Tree

This natural material of natural origin has long been used for interior decoration of spacious cottages and cramped city apartments. Its frenzied popularity is caused, rather, not by excellent external characteristics, but by ecological purity and safety. The panels are made of linden, maple, bamboo, cedar and oak. The room, decorated with panels, not only looks impeccable, but also breathes, that is, there is an uninterrupted air circulation in it.

It should be understood that a natural tree has a rather capricious character. It does not tolerate moisture; therefore, they are not recommended for use in the bathroom, toilet or kitchen. It quickly absorbs all moisture that settles to the surface, and when dried, it cracks and becomes porous. Some owners of country houses cover the panels with special varnish, but even he is unlikely to be able to withstand the negative effects of the environment for a long time. Also a significant drawback is the rather high cost of this type of cladding.

Modern designers are constantly trying to seek out new ways of decorating the interior with wooden products, combining them with mirror panels or panels with soft surfaces.

Chipboard

The imperfection of this type of sheet panels is more than compensated for by its low cost. The low price is due to the use of woodworking waste. At the same time, their appearance sometimes does not look very respectable, therefore, laminated panels are often used for interior decoration. Using this technology, manufacturers achieve a variety of colors and textures.

Plastic coated panels look great. They can imitate brick, stone, wood and even plant compositions. If combined with mirror or cork panels, they can become a worthy decoration of the living room and bedroom.

MDF panels for walls

This material has a low density and light weight. It is moisture resistant, fireproof, resistant to aggressive environmental influences.

Plastic

Plastic panels have a fairly extensive color palette and a diverse design.In addition to ease of installation and the availability of high-tech properties, PVC panels have another undoubted advantage - low cost.

It is from plastic that modern and incredibly popular 3D panels are created. These plastic panels are distinguished by their volume and variety of forms, and therefore are considered the absolute trend of 2019.

Mirror Panels

As you may have guessed, they consist of reflective glass surfaces, but they are used only as auxiliary elements. They combine perfectly with gypsum, plastic, cork and MDF panels for walls.

Bung

This material is used in design not so long ago, but has already managed to prove itself from the best side. Usually they decorate one individual wall in order to focus on a specific area of ​​the room. Such beauty is not affordable for everyone, therefore it is extremely rare.

Gypsum vinyl

Extremely strong and resistant to external influences. Previously, it was actively used in decorating offices, but now it has successfully migrated to houses and apartments. Low cost and high characteristics of strength and durability make it affordable for most of our compatriots.

3D panels for walls in the interior

This type of panels appeared on the market of building materials in our country relatively recently, but has already managed to take a leading position in sales in almost all regions of our vast country. 3D panels look great in the interior of the kitchen. They are based on gypsum, and the following layers are made of drywall, plastic or PVC film.

Manufacturers fit some products with natural or artificial leather, fabric, plain enamel or veneer. Such 3D panels in the bedroom interior create an incredible atmosphere of comfort and warmth of the hearth.

Whatever panels you choose, such a finish will always look respectable and luxurious. But if you want not to return to the issue of repair for another 7-10 years, we recommend that you pay attention to products made from natural material.
