Wood panelling adds character and texture to both traditional and contemporary homes. A wide range of profiles are available, from classic wainscoting to modern slat walls and V-groove panels.

Cost-effective materials like MDF and wood veneer are popular alternatives to solid wood. Beyond feature walls, panelling can be used on ceilings and cabinetry, offering practical benefits like improved insulation and sound absorption. Many DIY-friendly options, such as those from Laminex, are readily available in New Zealand.
