Wall Panelling
Add texture, depth and character to any room

Wall panelling is one of the most satisfying home upgrades you can do in a weekend. Whether you're going for a classic tongue and groove in a hallway, a bold shiplap feature wall in a living room or a painted MDF grid in a bedroom, the results look far more impressive than the effort involved.

Start with the right tools to measure and cut accurately. Hire a mitre saw for clean, square cuts on your panel boards and mouldings, or a cordless drill for driving fixings without splitting the wood. A laser level takes the guesswork out of keeping everything straight, particularly useful when your walls aren't.

For materials, buy your timber mouldings, MDF sheet materials and skirting and architrave to finish the edges neatly. Grab your adhesives and panel pins and wood screws for fixing, then finish the job with fillers, primers and paint for a seamless, professional result.
