Not sure how to make the most of wall panels in your home? Give your paneling a quick and easy makeover that will wow

Impress with neutrals

Transform your room or hallway into a welcoming space and refresh your wall panels with a touch of color. For a contemporary feel, try a taupe and offset it with different textures such as natural wooden flooring. Painting the skirting boards in white creates contrast and shows off the color of your makeover. To soften, decorate with small pot plants and artwork that complements the natural greens of your foliage. Try to keep clutter to a minimum to maintain this modern, minimalist look.
