The leader in staircase parts and decorative mouldings, Richard Burbidge, has a key voice on this.
Meet Zoe Goff, Product Manager and wall panelling pro at Richard Burbidge. Zoe’s take on this trend:
“When it comes to DIY projects, using decorative mouldings to create wall panelling is one of the easiest tasks to complete. It can be relatively straightforward to install when following accurate instructions and planning, and it’s also cost-effective.”
“Decorative panelling helps to establish a more delicate look in homes, and panelling can certainly add grandeur to a room, as well as create a sense of spaciousness. This is why it’s the perfect addition to a modern bedroom.”
“Wall panelling has many practical benefits that are not just aesthetic. It can conceal uneven surfaces and marks as well as protect walls in high traffic areas like hallways and doorways.”
“Wall panels can be crafted from stripwood, for example, in pine or even MDF, and can be configured in any design, height, and width. Stripwood is easy to purchase in various widths and lengths, making it highly versatile for achieving your desired look. Here at Richard Burbidge, we offer a variety of ‘How to’ videos that provide clear instructions on creating a new look for your wall.”
Here’s some tips on how to get started: 
- Plan and measure the walls.
- Map your design measurements onto the wall, using a tape measure, pencil and laser level mark to pinpoint where each panel will be.
- Choose your desired moulding from Richard Burbidge collection.
- Cut the panels to length, taking care to sand the ends until smooth.
- Carefully apply the panels to the walls, making sure they’re symmetrical and before nailing or drilling any.
- Finally, add a lick of paint to complete your project.
