Why add wall panelling to your dining room?

The dining room is often the most overlooked room in the house, despite being where family and guests gather most. Shaker and Jacobean-style panelling bring an elegant lift to the space, working equally well in a period townhouse or a contemporary open-plan layout — whether you want something bold and characterful or understated and refined.

offers gold and bronze accents by Mylands, designed to coordinate with brass hardware and create a rich, statement dining wall.

Tips for a beautiful dining room

Jacobean wall panelling

This panel design consists of panels that are square in shape and when installed resemble a grid. Once painted they give texture and a bold aesthetic to any room. You will commonly find this wall design in living rooms, dining rooms and more recently bedrooms. 

Play around with different textures

Playing around with different shapes and textures for your wall panelling is a great way to add texture and interest to any room. It makes the eye look around the room and take in all the different aspects. A good way to tie all of this together, and make a cohesive look is by choosing a simple paint scheme.

3/4 wall panelling

This is a great modern take on wall panelling. Keeping the design minimalistic but adding great texture to the room with the valleys wall panelling. Cutting off the wall panelling so it’s not full height is great if you have something like a statement chandelier, so the wall panelling is not taking away from that.
