Full Height Shaker Wall Panelling
Create a gorgeous feature wall with floor-to-ceiling shaker wall panelling, popular in living rooms and large open areas in the home to define the living or dining area. You can add as many rows and columns as you need to create the perfect look. Panelling a high humidity area? We've got you covered with Full-Height Bathroom Panelling using moisture-resistant MDF.
Half-height wall panelling - also known as Wainscoting is a traditional Wall Panelling technique which dates back centuries. Half-height panelling is popular in hallways to make the hallway appear longer than it is. Many of our customers panel the lower half of their bathroom walls to add character, for this we recommend our Custom Height Bathroom Panelling which includes moisture-resistant MDF.
Custom Height Shaker Wall Panelling with a Dado Rail
Add a traditional touch to your decorative wall panelling with a dado rail. Our solid timber decorative moulding is the perfect addition to your low-height wainscoting style wall panelling, giving a more traditional, classic look than shaker wall panelling on its own.
Popular in hallways placed at one-third of the wall height or in bedrooms at two-thirds on the wall behind the bed. Accentuating a wall with this kit can help define a room by lifting it with elegance and texture whilst aiding any interior design themes or styles. Many of our customers add a dado rail to their wall panelling in a nursery with a whimsical wallpaper above the dado and the wall panelling in a complementary neutral colour. If you're planning on panelling your bathroom or other high-humidity areas we recommend using our Custom Height Bathroom Wall Panelling with a Dado Rail which includes moisture-resistant MDF.
Our shaker wall panelling with dado rail is made up of 6mm MDF strips and a solid timber dado rail to stick directly onto the wall to create the panelled effect. These can all be primed and ready to paint, saving you time and effort. We can provide all the tools you’ll need along with detailed instructions on how to install your panelling.
The technical view of our visualiser on each product page will show you which measurements you need between each batten. Make sure to note down these measurements when ordering your kit so that you know how far apart you should be marking the measurements when it comes to installing.
Each kit comes with a physical installation manual which provides more detail and recommendations on which order to install the panels and will include instructions for your picture shelf, dado and/or beading.
Step 1: Organise
Lay out the MDF wall panels on the floor and group them based on size.
Step 2: Stencil
Using a pencil mark where the MDF wall panels need to be positioned on the wall. You can use the measurements provided in the 'Technical View' of our visualiser for spacing.
Step 3: Stick
Apply a thin layer of adhesive on your MDF wall panels and stick them to the walls where you have previously marked them. We strongly advise you to read our installation manual for this step.
Step 4: Level
Use a spirit level to make sure the MDF wall panel pieces are aligned correctly and fix when level. Wait to dry.
Step 5: Fill
Once dry, use wall filler to fill any gaps between the strips. If you've measured well, the gaps should be small.
Step 6: Caulk
Caulk around all edges of the MDF wall panels making sure to smooth evenly with a clean slightly wet finger or application tool. Once this is done, wait until dry.
Step 7: Prep
Prep the panelling for painting by sanding the joins which you've filled with filler. This helps the paint adhere and makes the join seamless and flat.
Step 8: Prime
Apply the wood primer evenly and wait to dry. You can skip this step if you chose for us to apply the priming for you.
Step 9: Paint
Paint the panels and wall with your chosen colour. We're loving deep greens at the moment, like Farrow & Ball's Green Smoke as shown in the visualiser.
Step 10: Add your picture shelf, dado and/or beading.
Finally, you'll add any extras depending on the wall panelling kit you've purchased. Full instructions will be provided.
