Bathroom Wall Panelling Ideas to Transform Your Space
Adding wall panels is a simple yet effective way to transform your bathroom. Below are design ideas inspired by real homes and customer favourites, ranging from statement feature walls to minimalist full-height designs. These bathroom PVC panelling ideas work beautifully in small flats, modern homes, traditional layouts and even hallways, so your decor style can flow throughout your space.
1. Go Full Height for a Modern Finish
Full-height bathroom wall panels like Arctic Stone, Bianca Luna, or Black Mineral are the perfect wall panels to create a continuous surface that instantly makes your room look bigger and cleaner. This is one of the most popular panelling ideas for bathrooms, as the panels provide complete waterproof coverage and dramatically reduce cleaning time.
2. Create a Feature Wall
For a bold and modern look, create a feature wall behind your vanity unit or bath using Fibo’s Aberdeen Metro Brick panels. Choose panels that mimic natural materials like wood effect or laminate stone finishes for added texture and depth. For example, a Bleached Cuneo Oak panel can bring warmth to a contemporary bathroom, while a White Marble Gloss finish adds sophistication. Feature walls are ideal for injecting personality into otherwise neutral bathroom spaces.
3. Mix Finishes for Contrast
If you want visual interest, combine matt and gloss wall panels. For instance, choose a high-gloss surface like the Antique Rose Herringbone Tile around the shower and pair it with a soft matt finish on the opposite walls. This technique works well when defining different zones.
4. Update Your Shower Enclosure
Swap out traditional tiles for PVC shower panels. We recommend Stone Beige Tile Effect for a classic look that still feels modern. They’re fully waterproof, quick to install, and designed to fit directly over tiles. The result is a clean, hygienic surface that resists mould and is easy to maintain with just a damp cloth.
5. Extend Panels to the Ceiling
Ceilings often get overlooked, but bathroom ceiling panels can complete your design. Made from the same durable PVC, they offer a clean, uniform finish that resists condensation and mould. Ceiling panels are lightweight, easy to install, and help create a seamless look that ties your bathroom design together.
6. Try Half-Height Wall Panelling
If you want a modern take on traditional wainscoting, half-height bathroom panelling is an excellent choice. Pair Soft Grey Marble with a painted upper wall for a contemporary, layered finish that adds warmth and character. This panel works well with a grey painted wall and makes the entire space look spotless. These wall panel packs work perfectly for a minimalist look.
7. Opt for Simple Yet Effective Layouts
Sometimes the best designs are the simplest. Large-format wall panels like Pergamon Marble reduce visible joins, making small bathrooms feel larger and streamlined. These PVC bathroom wall panels are easy to cut and fit, allowing you to achieve a perfect fit even in awkward spaces or around bathroom fittings.

Features & Benefits of Bathroom Wall Panels
Our bathroom wall panels are designed to perform in everyday homes. Here’s what makes them an ideal choice over traditional tiles or paint.
Waterproof and Hygienic
Every panel is 100% waterproof and mould-resistant, making them perfect for wet areas like showers and baths. The smooth, non-porous surface prevents grime build-up, meaning you’ll never have to scrub grout again.
Easy Installation
All of our panels feature a tongue-and-groove system, so installation is simple and fast. You can even fit them over existing tiles, reducing renovation time and mess. The installation needs very few tools, allowing DIYers with basic skills to complete a professional finish.
Affordable and Durable
Bathroom wall cladding is a cost-effective option compared to tiling, both in material and labour costs. PVC panels are hard-wearing and have a long-lasting finish. They maintain their look for years, even in high-humidity spaces.
Low Maintenance
Cleaning is effortless. Just wipe down with a damp cloth, no harsh chemicals, scrubbing, or resealing needed. The smooth surface requires minimal maintenance while ensuring your bathroom stays fresh and hygienic.
Stylish Finishes
Choose from a full range of colours, textures, and materials, from stone, tile, and marble effects to subtle matt and wood-inspired designs. Wet wall panels offer design flexibility to create your dream bathroom with ease.
