Looking to upgrade the look of your kitchen? Then, why not choose wall panelling for your next project? Be it a DIY adventure or professionally installed, use wall panelling to fully transform your space and add a dash of sophistication.
Panelling can work in any room, and create so many different looks, trust me. For example, you could go bold in your kitchen with grand floor-to-ceiling period-inspired panels. Or, why not create a more timeless look in your dining area with a Shaker-style design.
A modern approach to the classic tile splashback is wood panelling. As with any splashback, make sure you go for a heat resistant and waterproof design that is easy to clean and maintain. Tongue-and-groove boards are usually the easiest to install and they are also very durable, which makes them perfect for a kitchen splashback. If you want to match yours to the cabinetry or add a bright pop of colour, make sure you choose suitable paint that can stand up to steam, grease and any spills, like Dulux’s Easycare emulsion paint or Little Greene’s Intelligent paint range.
