Wall panelling has dominated interior trends over the last decade, and it’s easy to see why. When done well it adds interest, dimension and character wherever used.

But for homeowners considering taking the plunge, it can be daunting, especially with so much choice on the market. Fortunately, wall panelling experts Naturewall are on hand to explain the difference.

Charlie Farrar, Product Design Manager at Naturewall, said: “At Naturewall, we are big believers in making great design easy to achieve. For homeowners tackling wall panelling for the first time, it can be a minefield of information and in this guide we want to remove the jargon and help customers find their perfect panel.”

Fluted wall panels are created when vertical troughs, or concave curves, are carved into panelling.  

Reminiscent of Roman columns, fluted panels create recesses that cascade striking shadows across walls. Playing with light and dark, these panels are bold and contemporary and bring strong visual appeal.

Reeded panels bring scalloped curves to walls. Round and smooth, they offer softness and subtle elegance, bringing a timeless feel to wall panelling. They are ideal for living spaces and bedrooms, helping to evoke a sense of relaxation.

And while reeded and fluted panels have curves aplenty, the same cannot be said for SlatWall. These contemporary beauties feature real wood veneered slats that are carefully bonded onto a recycled felt backing. They combine the natural beauty of real wood with strong vertical lines to bring a minimalist feel wherever they are used. 

Charlie added: “Wall panelling is a great option for any home, but it’s important to find the right fit to complement the style and character of the home.”

Naturewall’s range of fluted, reeded and SlatWall panels are available now.
