Wall Panelling Ideas for Your Living Room
Wall panelling gives you the freedom to shape your living room exactly how you want it. It can add height to a room with low ceilings, or create a bold feature wall that pulls the entire space together. Here are some of our favourite modern living room panelling ideas.
Tile Effect Wall Panels
Our tile-effect wall panels bring personality and structure to your living room walls, offering a modern look without grout. Available in stone beige and grey, they combine modern design with the clean lines of tiles without the grout. These panels define a space and add visual interest, giving it a refined finish that’s ideal for feature walls or a pattern framing a fireplace.
Marble Effect Wall Panels
Bring a touch of luxury to your home with our marble-effect wall panels. Available in Calacatta Marble, Light Grey Marble, and Pergamon Marble, these finishes instantly add character to your living room walls. The surface helps reflect natural light beautifully, creating the illusion of a more open space.
Marble-effect panels work especially well as a statement wall behind your TV or sofa. You can also use them on the lower half of the wall to add structure to the room.
Concrete and Stone Finishes
If you want a minimalist style, try our concrete wall panels. Grey Concrete Gloss and Metallic Concrete Matt bring a subtle industrial look that adds texture to your living room.
For a softer feel, opt for Stone Graphite or Weathered Stone. These finishes complement natural floors and neutral tones, bringing subtle warmth and a sophisticated finish to the room. The combination of these panels suits DIYers aiming to create a balanced and grounded space.
Quartz and Pearlescent Designs
If you want a bit of shine and elegance, explore our Grey Quartz and Pearlescent White panels. Their glossy finishes catch the light and give your living room a subtle shimmer throughout the day.
Pair them with mouldings, trims, or matching living room ceiling panels for a polished finish that connects your floors to your ceiling. Their soft shades complement marble and wood effects beautifully, allowing you to explore living room panelling colour ideas that match your furniture and lighting choices.
Whether you’re creating a modern living room or refreshing a traditional home, our panels offer endless ways to add interest and transform your space.
Features & Benefits of Our Living Room Wall Panels
If easy upkeep, fast installation and long-lasting finish are important to you, here are the practical benefits of living room wall panels.
1. Add Texture
Wall panels are great because they can add texture that paint alone can’t match. Whether you go for a natural wood grain or a smooth marble design, the panels add depth that simple paint can’t match.
2. Achieve a Unified Look
Use a single finish across all four walls to create a cohesive look, or combine shades to create contrast. Panels can easily be trimmed to fit alcoves, around fireplaces, or under windows, helping you create a unified style.
3. Quick to Install
Forget the mess of plaster and paint. Most panels can be fitted in a day using panel adhesive or screws hidden within the joints. They can also be fitted over uneven walls, making them a perfect choice for older properties.
4. Easy to Maintain
Unlike paint or wallpaper, PVC and laminate wall panels are easy to clean. A simple cloth and detergent are all you need to keep them looking fresh. They’re also 100% mould-resistant for a healthy environment.
5. Long-Lasting Style
Most of our panels are made from durable materials like PVC and MDF, which means that they can resist scratches, impact, and fading, so your living room stays stylish for many years.
6. Cost-Effective Transformation
Wall panels offer a budget-friendly way to update your interiors. They mimic the look of materials like natural oak and wood panelling, but at a fraction of the price. It’s the perfect way to create luxury for less.

FAQs About Living Room Wall Panelling Ideas
Looking for fresh living room panelling ideas and tips to inspire and start your next reno? We have answered the most common questions our customers ask about living room wall panelling.
Where should I put panelling in a living room?
Wall panelling works well on any main wall in your living room. Popular choices include behind the fireplace, sofa or TV unit to create a captivating focal point. For a subtle effect, try half-wall panelling to add structure without crowding the space.
Does wall panelling make a room look bigger or smaller?
When used cleverly, panelling can actually make your living room feel bigger. Vertical panels pull the eye upward, adding dimension and height, while light-coloured finishes and gloss panels reflect light to open up smaller rooms.
Do I need to remove skirting before fitting wall panels?
Not always. Many panels can be installed directly above existing skirting boards, though removing them first gives a neater finish. If you keep them on, use matching mouldings or trims to fill any gaps for a professional look.
Can living room wall panels be painted?
Yes, most MDF panels, such as Multipanel, can be painted if you want to refresh your look later. Just use a suitable primer and high-quality paint for a durable finish.
