Multipanel Wall Panels
Multipanel offers a UK-made collection that combines natural looks with modern performance. Made from strong, moisture-resistant MDF, these panels are sturdy, stable, and have a smooth, waterproof surface that’s easy to keep clean.
Their finishes take inspiration from natural elements like Arctic Stone, Antique Rose and Calacatta Marble, giving you endless ways to add some character to your bedroom ensuite. They have a calm, refined feel that works beautifully in minimalist spaces.

If your bedroom feels dark or small, use White Gloss PVC to brighten the space and reflect light.
-
For something softer, use finishes like Light Grey Marble to create a contemporary look or Weathered Stone Matt for rustic charm in medium-sized rooms. They are a sleek, low-maintenance alternative to wallpaper.
To make a statement, try creating a feature wall behind the bed with Grey Concrete Matt or Blue Quartz. Their natural-looking patterns and subtle sheen create a stylish focal point that enhances your bedroom's overall design.

Modern Bedroom Wall Panelling Ideas
Wall panelling ideas for bedroom design should consider how each surface works together across all four walls, complementing your lighting, furniture, and room size. Below are ideas that use the materials and colours we stock to create beautiful, functional spaces.
Half-Wall Panelling
Half-wall panelling is a simple architectural feature that adds proportion and visual balance. Panels installed to mid-wall height (around 1200mm) pair perfectly with painted walls above and keep your space bright.
It works well behind bedside tables, along corridors, or in small dining tables, creating an elegant flow through the room.
Best-suited panels: MDF or PVC wood-effect panels with matching trims and mouldings for a classic style finish. Choose warmer shades for a cosy look or cool tones for a contemporary feel.
Vertical Panels for Added Height
Positioning panels vertically draws the eye upward, helping rooms appear taller and also highlighting architectural detail. They also act as a soft rhythm across the wall, adding texture without clutter.
Use pale finishes like Fibo’s Chevron panels, which can visually lift walls and make ceilings feel higher.
Natural Materials for Warmth
For a natural, calming feel, slatted wall panels are a beautiful way to bring warmth to your bedroom. The Brown Cuneo Oak Slat is made with natural-oak-inspired finishes, giving you the soft tones of real wood without the upkeep.
These panels are perfect for a reading nook or cosy corner in your bedroom. Since they are waterproof, they also work well in bedrooms connected to en-suites, creating a spa-like flow between spaces.
Pair these slatted panels with soft lighting, neutral textiles and layered fabrics to create a restful look with a natural touch.

Features and Benefits of Bathroom Panels
Our bedroom wall panels offer more than a beautiful finish. They combine function, comfort, and long-term value.
Hygienic and Low Maintenance
The non-porous surface of every panel prevents mould and moisture build-up, making cleaning easy. Simply wipe down with a damp cloth to keep it spotless. You can read our detailed cleaning guide to keep your tiles hygienic.
Quick to Install
Panels can be installed over existing wall tiles, saving time and labour. The tongue-and-groove edges make joints invisible, giving you a smooth surface that looks expertly finished.
Durable and Long Lasting
Our PVC, Fibo, and Multipanel wall panels are tested for stability in variable Scottish climates. They resist warping, cracking, and discolouration, making them a recommended choice for homes that need reliability.
Adds Warmth and Comfort
Wall panels add subtle insulation that helps maintain room temperature and sound control. Wood panelling creates a naturally warm and tactile surface that enhances comfort.
Sustainable and Responsible
Fibo and Multipanel use certified MDF cores that support sustainability and long product life. Their design eliminates grout, meaning less waste and cleaner long-term upkeep.
Designed for Everyday Life
Our collections are designed for easy care, quick fitting, and beautiful finishes that don’t fade. They are practical, durable, and built to suit every type of home, from minimalist apartments to period properties.
FAQs About Bedroom Wall Panelling
Before you choose a panel, it helps to understand how it works in your space. Here are the most common questions from customers planning bedroom panelling projects.
Can wall panels help with insulation or noise control in a bedroom?
Yes. Wall panels add a thin but effective extra layer to your walls, which can slightly improve thermal comfort and help soften sound. Our MDF-based panels from Fibo and Multipanel are particularly good at reducing echo in large rooms or those with hard floors, because the dense core helps absorb everyday noise.
Panels also help prevent heat loss through uneven or cracked plaster by creating a sealed surface between your wall and the room. Even the wall behind a table in an open‐plan bedroom‐study layout benefits from using panels. While they won’t replace full insulation, they make bedrooms feel warmer and quieter, especially when combined with soft furnishings like rugs and curtains.
Is wall panelling outdated in 2025?
No. Wall panelling remains one of the most popular and inspired interior design choices in 2025. Modern laminates and waterproof surfaces make it both functional and elegant.
How do I plan wall panels for rooms with alcoves or angled ceilings?
Accurate planning makes a big difference in bedrooms with alcoves or sloped ceilings. The good news is that most of our PVC, Fibo, and Multipanel wall panels can be easily cut to fit unusual layouts. Use a fine-tooth saw or utility knife for PVC, or a circular saw for MDF panels, to achieve a clean finish.
When working with alcoves or built-in wardrobes:
-
Measure carefully. Double check your measurements and leave a small 2-3mm gap for where the tims will go.
-
Use internal corner trims. These will help you to frame tricky angles neatly and keep the joints sealed and waterproof.
-
Install panels before furniture. Then, you can add the shelves and wardrobes for a clean, continuous finish.

How high should wall panelling be in a bedroom?
Half wall panelling usually stops at 1200mm and looks good behind beds or along corridors. Full-height panels are best for feature walls in larger rooms.
What is the best finish for small rooms?
In smaller bedrooms, the goal is to make the space feel brighter, open, and well-proportioned. Choose light colours such as white, cream, or soft grey to reflect natural light around the room. Gloss finishes are particularly effective because they bounce light off the surface, visually expanding tight spaces.
