Custom Height Shaker Wall Panelling

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 customer's 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. 

There are plenty of reasons to go for a half-height wall panelling option. By panelling just the lower half of your walls, you can leave room for shelving, lighting or painting on your upper walls. A good way to decide where you would like to fit your half-height panelling is to consider what furniture and home decor are already in the room, and where your panelling would look best around it. If you have a dado rail, you can decide to fit it above or below it to break up the room.

Wainscoting also gives you the option of having a two-tone colour palette. People are getting bolder with their wall colours now, but it might seem overwhelming to paint an entire wall green. With Wall Panelling at half height on the wall, you can still apply bold colour to your room without it being too overpowering.

Half-height wall panelling is also an excellent way to guard your walls. You can use it as an alternative to skirting boards and prevent damage to the walls where it is likely to get dented or scuffed.

Our full and custom height shaker wall panelling is available in varying thicknesses of 6mm MDF, 9mm MDF and 12mm MDF allowing for more depth and a bolder, more dramatic look. 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.

Add a Picture Shelf

 

Our custom height shaker panelling has the option of adding a customisable 18mm MDF shelf, which is not only durable but also versatile enough to complement any home decor.

Our Picture Shelf is cut to size so that it is exactly the same length as your wall panelling kit. Once installed, you’ll have a seamless and cohesive look for your wall space. The flat surface of the shelf provides ample space to display your favourite decorative items and family photos.

Our MDF shelf is easy to install, and you don’t even need to drill into your walls! The shelf can be attached securely to the wall panelling kit with the included adhesive. Our Picture Shelves come with the exact number of support blocks and glue required, as well as an easy-to-follow installation manual. When opting for your wall panelling kit to come primed, we will also prime both sides of the shelf so that it can easily be painted upon delivery to your door. We offer our picture shelving in both 80mm and 120mm in depth, so you can decide between the options as to how far you would like your shelving to come out from the wall.

Picture shelves are the perfect storage solution to display your cherished memories as well as enhance your space with custom-height wall panelling. Upgrade your wall panelling kit with our customizable MDF shelf today and transform your living space into a stylish and functional haven.
