A growing trend in home interiors today, decorative wall panels for Indian homes are the perfect way to introduce a visual focus in your room.

Available in a range of sizes, these panels are installed directly onto your wall. Typically made of waterproof fibreboard, these are then overlaid with paper, laminate or fabric of choice — resulting in a wide selection of colors, finishes, patterns and motifs.

As a wall treatment option well-suited for Indian homes, decorative wall panels offer unique advantages over other choices. Here is a quick look at some of them:

1. Enhanced aesthetics:

One of the most apparent features of decorative wall panels is that they can be used to aesthetically enhance and accentuate your walls, and consequently the whole room.

Apart from a myriad range of colors and prints, panels can also simulate natural textures like wood and stone, adding a whole new dimension to your space. Use them to cover an entire wall or alternatively, cover only a segment in order to define a focal point.

Here, the bedroom interestingly features a group of intricate laser cut wall panels placed over a textured wall.

2. Easy installation:

Most conventional wall treatments in India, including textured paints and wallpaper, are time-consuming, labour-intensive processes which require skilled professional help.

Decorative wall panels, on the other hand, are the quick and easy alternative — they can be installed directly onto your walls without any prior surface preparation. MDF and HMR board panels are generally lightweight and easy to handle. Without much fuss, its simple installation process can be completed within hours.
