Bedrooms are getting an architectural update. That’s according to new research from the experts at wall panelling specialists Naturewall.
Using data from Pinterest, Naturewall found searches for the term ‘panelling bedroom’ have increased 100 per cent over the last year*.
Adding warmth, depth and character to any room, panelling is becoming the go-to for bedroom renovations where homeowners want to change the look and feel of the space without a full redesign.
Charlie Farrar, Product Marketing Manager at Naturewall, said: “It’s no surprise we are seeing interest in bedroom panelling soar.
“Bedrooms can sometimes feel quite flat, especially if the walls are painted in one colour, but panelling introduces texture and architectural detail in a way that feels considered and cosy.
“It is particularly effective behind the bed, where it can create the feeling of a bespoke headboard or feature wall. This helps to anchor the room and gives the bed a stronger focal point, which is especially useful in smaller bedrooms or spaces that lack character.”
Naturewall’s range of wall panelling includes acoustic SlatWall, which not only creates a visually striking look with sleek vertical slats making the room feel taller, but also helps reduce external noise from traffic and neighbours to create a serene environment.
Available in a range of natural finishes, from walnut to washed oak, SlatWall is ideal for those homeowners embracing biophilic design, which helps connect humans to the natural world which can help well-being and reduce stress.
Charlie said: “Another reason panelling works so well in bedrooms is that it can make the space feel more restful. Natural wood tones, soft neutrals and tactile finishes all help to create a calmer, more cocooning atmosphere, which is exactly what people want from a bedroom.”
For those who want to express a little more personality, Naturewall’s wall panelling kits bring subtle depth and timeless style to the bedroom, and can be painted to suit any scheme.
Charlie added: “Panelling also has a lovely balance between practicality and style. It can hide imperfect walls, add insulation and soften acoustics, while still delivering a strong design statement. That combination of comfort, texture and visual impact is why it is proving so popular with homeowners right now.”
Naturewall’s range of wall panels are available now, with prices starting at £39.99.
