Correct Panel Layout
Decorative wall panels and panel mouldings rely heavily on proportion. A good layout can improve the room, while a poor layout can make even expensive mouldings look wrong.
Why Panel Layout Matters
Decorative wall panels can transform a room, but poor layout can make a space feel awkward, unbalanced or badly planned.
Proportion Comes First
Panel size should relate to wall length, ceiling height, doors, windows and existing features. Equal spacing is not always the same as good proportion.
Common Mistakes
Common errors include panels that are too narrow, inconsistent spacing, awkward cut-offs near openings and layouts that ignore switches, sockets or radiators.
Setting Out
Careful setting out before installation helps identify problems early. This is especially important in older properties where walls are rarely square or perfectly straight.
Using Corner Blocks
Corner blocks can simplify layouts and add decorative interest when used appropriately. They should support the design rather than clutter it.
Modern Technology
Laser measurement and digital surveying can help improve accuracy and planning, particularly in irregular rooms.
