Making use of our cut to size MDF, DIY wall panelling has now become a very cost-effective way to breathe new life into your home. It is the perfect feature to add character to any space - whether it be used as bedroom wall panels, decorative wall panels, hallway panelling, wood wall cladding or bathroom wall panels. 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. There are plenty of personalisation possibilities to add flair to the home with multiple designs and colours. Wood wall panelling is ideal for changing your space from simple walls into something detailed and modern that always looks sophisticated - just with traditional battens and boards! Whether to be used in a contemporary open-plan, or a single-story flat, wood wall panelling on any wall can highlight elements such as a dining area, or bounce light off an adjacent window.
To complete your DIY wall panelling, all you will need is our easy self-install DIY wall panels and any form of fixings, whether it be nails or adhesive. All of our wood panelling options are available to arrive pre-primed saving you time and money in achieving your perfect room.
We can provide wood wall panelling exactly to your specifications and measurements so there is no need for you to have to cut anything to size. We can also professionally prime the front face of the MDF pieces, so all you have to do is stick them to the wall and paint them. A simple splash of colour on the panelling can elevate the room and bring both light and texture to your room!
Our maximum panel length for our courier is 1800mm. If your wall is longer than this and therefore you enter dimensions larger than 1800mm, we will provide you with multiple pieces to make up the total length required. We will make sure that the panels are cut to equal sizes so that they can be joined in the middle.
Our wall panelling is available in 6mm MDF, 9mm MDF and 12mm MDF. These are all perfect for use in bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens. You can also choose the width of your MDF battens to be 50mm, 80mm, 100mm or 120mm. 100mm is our most commonly bought width and is therefore set to this at default.
Looking for an easy-to-paint option? You can choose for us to prime the front face of your MDF wall panel strips so that they can be painted as soon as they arrive.

Installing Your Wall Panelling
After ordering your wood wall panelling comes the important part. Installation. Don't worry - we include a wall panelling manual within your kit which can help you with installation.
Below is also a step-by-step guide to assist you to install your new and outstanding wall panelling.
What You Will Need
- Adhesive
- Spirit level
- Measuring tape
- Caulk
- Wall filler
- Wood primer
- Sandpaper
- Choice of paint colour
- Pencil
- Pre-Cut MDF Wood Panelling Strips
How to Install Wood Panelling
The technical view of our visualiser (at the top of this page) will show you which measurements you need between each batten based on your input. Make sure to note down these measurements when ordering the kit so that you know how far apart you should be marking the measurements when it comes to installing it.
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 to the walls where you have previously marked them.
Step 4: Level
Use a spirit level to make sure the MDF wall panel pieces are aligned correctly and fix until 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: Enjoy!
Finally, you're free to tidy up and furnish your newly decorated room!
Wall Panelling Key Features
Versatile
Wood wall panelling is made easy with the use of our Standard Grade MDF which is a popular and adaptable material that is made up of small strands of mixed hard and softwoods, combined with resins and wax to produce a hard-wearing but lightweight panel.
Lightweight
Due to the small strands that construct the sheet, our Standard Grade MDF sheets are ideal for completing wood wall panelling as the wood panels are light to install and fit.
Malleable
Our MDF wall panels take well to most adhesives and paints. As such MDF wall panels allow for fantastic possibilities for adding colour and creativity. For more wall panelling ideas for how MDF can be best-used check our guide Choosing the Right MDF.
Inexpensive
Far cheaper than solid wood of the same size, MDF wall panels are a cheaper material to work with and are ideal for completing wood wall panelling due to their ability to be produced and shipped cheaply and quickly for fast installation.
