Interior cladding panels made from real wood are an ecological and sustainable choice for home decoration. Wood is highly resistant to time and bumps. Wood does not always have to be used to decorate large surfaces, but can also be used in a variety of ways in small spaces. Even a small surface of real wood can add warmth and cosiness to your home.

Interior cladding panels as an effect wall

Interior cladding panels do not always have to be used on large surfaces. All interior cladding panels work great as a decorative enhancement material alongside wallpaper and paint. When choosing a panel for an effect wall, it is worth considering the space as a whole. What kind of atmosphere do you want? Do you want to use wood to calm the interior or perhaps use interior cladding panels to create a focal point for the space you are decorating?

Interior cladding panels are at their most natural when only lightly surface treated. You can bring warmth into your home by decorating one wall with, for example, a PALA panel made of birch. PALA panels are fixed with adhesive, which allows them to be installed in a herringbone pattern, brickwork or any other pattern. Only your imagination is the limit ?

Metallic pearlescent shades are also perfect as an effect wall. Interior cladding panels in pearlescent shades add a metallic sparkle to the interior. USVA interior cladding panels have a micro-sanded surface that gives the wood a magical finish. STRUKTUURI panels in pearl shades can also be used to decorate a sauna.

Interior cladding panels as roofing material

Interior cladding panels work well as a roofing material. Wood adds warmth and cosiness to the interior, and this is perfectly achieved through large ceiling surfaces. Instead of the traditional white interior cladding panel, you can use the sand-coloured STRUKTUURI interior cladding panel as a ceiling panel or cool down your home with the grey RAILO interior cladding panel.

When installing interior cladding panels on the ceiling, carefully plan the rhythm of the panel extensions. You should also check whether or not the panel has an end point. End-jointed interior cladding panels are easy to extend and there is no need to align the extensions with the frame timbers. Interior cladding panels without an end point can also be installed in the ceiling, but in this case the extensions must be aligned with a tight bushing joint at the fascia board.

Interior cladding panels for wall finishes

Interior cladding panels are a stylish way to decorate high spaces. Wood helps to create a pleasant acoustic and is a good material for preventing echoes. Interior cladding panels are usually 2350, 2800, 3600 mm long. For solid wood materials, the length varies between 1400 and 2800 mm depending on the availability of raw material. On high wall surfaces, extension points can be concealed by placing the interior cladding panel extensions in a continuous line in the paneling. An extension placed in a straight line is often too conspicuous. For example, the three-dimensional VIRE interior cladding panels designed by Ristomatti Ratia can be used to their full potential in wall panelling. They add an interesting variation of light and shadow to the space.

Interior cladding panels for kitchen interior design

Interior cladding panels can be used in the kitchen just as well as in any other room in the home. In the kitchen, behind the hob and sinks, it is best to protect the interior cladding panels from grease and water splashes with a sheet of glass or plastic plexiglass. This will make cleaning much easier.

In the kitchen, the interior cladding panels can be installed to descend from the ceiling to the floor, or the panels can be used as the surface material for the island. For the kitchen, you should choose a splash-proof panel. Interior cladding panels for saunas are also suitable for use in kitchens.

Interior cladding panels in the space between the cupboards in the utility room

The utility room can be made cosy by decorating the cupboard spaces with wood. All interior cladding panels are well suited to the utility room, as moisture cannot accumulate on wooden surfaces. You can use the same interior panelling in the utility room as in the rest of the home, or choose panelling to match the colour scheme of the cupboards.

Interior cladding panels for damp areas

The wet rooms are the washrooms and toilets. In these areas, humidity rises and the surface of the panels must be able to withstand small splashes of water. Remember that the panels cannot withstand direct contact with water, so you cannot install interior cladding panels behind a shower, for example.

The roofing material plays a big role in the interior design of the washroom. The white tiles are elegantly framed by the black ceiling. If the sauna has large windows, you can seamlessly extend the sauna style to the washroom with ceiling panels.

White panels bring airiness and freshness to the sauna and washrooms. However, always make sure that the white interior cladding panel in question is suitable for damp areas. Wood is highly resistant to heat and moisture, but not all surface treatment products.

You can also combine two different interior cladding panels in the sauna. For example, the three-dimensional VIRE panel made of ashlar can be used alongside the HAAPA sauna panel, which has a calmer surface structure.

Interior cladding panels as bed headboards

A quick and easy way to spice up your interior with wood is to build a bed headboard from interior cladding panels. A bed headboard is also a good use for leftover panels from a renovation. A wooden bed headboard adds cosiness and warmth to your interior. PALA panels are easy to glue together to make a bed headboard. The panels also allow you to play with different shapes.

The metallic pearlescent shades of the USVA panels also make the bed headboard an eye-catcher in the interior. The pearlescent finish in various shades of grey brings out the wood grain in an interesting way and is a good contrast to white paint finishes.
