Wall panels - a way to bring your walls to life

In an age where modern technology meets outstanding interior aesthetics, more and more people are looking for innovative solutions that will bring out the character of their home. One of those solutions, and one that is steadily gaining popularity, is the wall panel.

Decorative wall panels are a modern form of wall decoration that is slowly starting to replace traditional wallpaper as well as the various textured paints on the market. Thanks to modern architectural solutions, we can enjoy three-dimensional decorative elements that not only enhance the wall effectively, but are also practical. 3D wall panels cover the surface perfectly, which makes it possible to hide small installation flaws and unevenness in the wall, and they come in a wide range of patterns, shapes and colours. In rooms where we want to underline our own style and add a touch of extravagance, the wall panel will be an indispensable decoration.

Wall panels have become one of the key elements of contemporary interior design. They are an easy way to enhance a space and an excellent alternative to traditional wallpaper. What sets panels apart is how easy they are to fit and how perfectly they cover the surface. Thanks to them, we can effectively conceal small irregularities or defects in the wall. The variety of patterns, shapes and colours makes it possible to create unique schemes that underline the character of every room.

Modern wall panels allow both minimalist and more avant-garde effects to be achieved in an interior, so everyone can find something to suit them, whatever their individual taste or decorating style. Their versatility and their ability to transform interiors make them one of the most sought-after decorative solutions on the market today.

Types - what are wall panels called?

Wall panels have long been seen as a practical and attractive solution for anyone who wants to create a modern, decorative interior. The most popular 3D wall panels available on the market, which will suit every room perfectly, are:

• Upholstered wall panels - these are wall panels most often made of foam and covered with the material of your choice; they are not only soft to the touch but also good-looking. They add elegance and warmth to an interior.
• Panels made of MDF - this is a wood-effect material that resists dirt. They stand out for their low cost and their availability.
• PVC panels - made from polyvinyl chloride, these panels combine the look of timber panelling with the best advantages plastics have to offer. They are resistant to moisture and dirt, which makes them an ideal choice for areas exposed to frequent soiling.
• Cork panels - this is a natural material that not only insulates against sound, but also brings warmth and comfort to the room in winter and in summer.
• Slatted panels - panels most often made from wooden slats or wood-look materials. The vertical battens give walls a natural, rustic look.
• Polymer panels - modern, innovative panels that are resistant to the weather (water and UV light) and also easy to fit. They are hard-wearing and suitable for kitchens or bathrooms. They stand out for their great durability and their variety of designs.

Decorative wall panels - advantages and drawbacks

• Upholstered panels - although they add a luxurious feel to an interior, they are not easy to look after and can be a problem when heavier soiling occurs.
• MDF panels - moisture-resistant and easy to look after, but they can be less hard-wearing than other materials. They may deteriorate quickly, especially at floor level or in homes with young children or pets.
• PVC panels - water-resistant, but some cheap models can give off an unpleasant polyvinyl chloride smell. The glossy plastic finish may not suit some interior styles.
• Cork panels - light and eco-friendly, but prone to mechanical damage. They deform easily and prolonged exposure to light can change their colour.
• Slatted panels - natural material always looks beautiful, but when made from real wood it needs regular care to keep its appearance. They are not recommended for rooms exposed to water.
• Polymer panels - they offer a long service life and a variety of designs. They combine perfectly with different materials such as ceramics or carpet. Because of their quality, they can be slightly more expensive than other panels.

Using the right wall panels in your interior is a way to bring out the unique character of the room, while ensuring both function and good looks. The choice between the different types of panel depends on each owner's individual needs and preferences.

How do you clean wall panels?

Wall panels are not only an answer to the desire for beauty in our interiors, they are also a revolution when it comes to keeping rooms clean and fresh. Cleaning PolyForce polymer panels is a simple, quick job. Thanks to their smooth surface and the properties of the synthetic material, you can easily remove dust, dirt or even water marks with a soft cloth dampened with water or with a little mild detergent. Fitting wall panels Preparing the wall properly is the key to success. Before you start fitting, the wall must be clean, dry and smooth. If there are any irregularities on the wall, it is advisable to level them out. Then measure the surface carefully and cut the panels to the required dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit in the space.

You will find a step-by-step guide to fitting wall panels in an article on our blog!

The final step is to apply a suitable adhesive to the wall and gently press the panels into place, taking care not to leave any air bubbles or unevenness. For this job, Mardom Fix Pro or Mardom Max adhesives are recommended. Remember to apply enough adhesive to the back of the panel! Too little product can have a negative effect on how well the panel stays in place.

How do you arrange the panels on the wall?

Wall panels are not only a practical solution, they are also a way to lay out a space creatively. When you start fitting them, you can choose to place them horizontally or vertically. Arranging the panels horizontally will visually add width to your walls, while vertical installation will make the room look taller. But why limit yourself to these two orientations? You can combine different panel colours to create a mosaic, or set them diagonally. This combination will be a unique accent in your interior, catching the eye and underlining the individual style of the room. If you want something more unusual, consider creating geometric patterns or even artistic compositions that will turn your walls into a genuine work of art. With wall panels, only your imagination is the limit!

How do you cut wall panels?

To fit wall panels correctly to the specific dimensions of a room, they need to be cut precisely. To cut along the length of the panels in order to reduce their width, a sharp utility knife is the most effective tool, giving a precise, clean cut. When you need to cut a panel across its width, however, a mitre saw or a hand saw with a mitre box are the best options. A mitre saw is particularly useful if you want to set the cutting angle precisely and keep all the pieces uniform. For more advanced projects that call for complex angled cuts, a mitre saw is recommended for its precision and flexibility, guaranteeing that the panels fit your project perfectly. It is important to remember to wear suitable protective equipment when using cutting tools, to keep yourself safe. Match the wall panel to your interior Wall panels play a crucial role in creating the atmosphere in every room. Their versatility means they can be adapted to almost any interior style, giving the space an individual, unique character. As interior design trends evolve, wall panels offer countless possibilities for keeping up with those trends and meeting the aesthetic demands of every interior.

Can wall panels be painted?

Yes, Mardom Decor wall panels can be painted successfully. They are covered with a high-quality matt finishing coat that acts as an ideal base for later paintwork. The primer coat not only smooths the panel surface, it also protects it against yellowing and against dirt penetrating. Although they come with a special factory-applied base coat, we recommend painting them with any water-based paint, which will strengthen the surface further and allow the panel to be matched to the individual needs of the interior.

Which paint should you use to paint wall panels?

When you decide to paint wall panels, choosing the right paint is essential. Mardom Decor 3D wall panels are best painted with a water-based paint that contains no harmful solvents. This guarantees not only excellent adhesion, but also the durability and the good looks of the painted surface. You can choose any colour that will complement and freshen up the décor of your room.
