Stone effect wall panels

The stone effect wall panels in this collection give an interior wall the look of exposed brick or stone, without any building work. Most of them reproduce brick, as panels, tiles or rolls to unroll like wallpaper; two models have a travertine effect and one has a stone effect. Many panels are made of 3D foam and almost all the models are self-adhesive.

The tiles also have a page of their own: 3D self-adhesive stone effect tiles.

Stone effect wall cladding and brick effect panels: the models

Almost all the stone effect wall panels here reproduce exposed brick, with the joints drawn or in relief; three have a stone or travertine effect instead. You will find brick effect decorative panels, many of them 3D foam, from 30 × 30 to 70 × 100 cm; rolls to unroll over the wall, 45 or 70 cm wide; and tiles and adhesive vinyl pieces that you join one to the next.

For the stone effect there is a vinyl roll 45 cm wide, a travertine effect paper of 40 × 300 cm and a soft travertine effect cladding, self-adhesive and flexible. For other designs on a roll see the self-adhesive wallpaper; if you want a relief other than brick, there are the 3D wall panels.

How to choose stone effect panels for interior walls

Before colour, decide on the format and the material, because they determine the fitting time and the number of joints. Here you will not find rigid panels of polystyrene, resin or polyurethane, but decorative coverings for interior walls, almost always self-adhesive.

  • Format: pieces of 30 × 30, 35 × 30 and 35 × 35 cm are easy to fit, even on your own; the 70 × 70 and 70 × 100 cm panels and the foam rolls 70 cm wide and 2 or 10 m long cover more surface with fewer joints.
  • Material: foam, used in several panels and in the rolls 70 cm wide, has a relief you can feel by touch; vinyl and PVC are the materials of two rolls 45 cm wide.
  • Colour: white, black, grey, brown, red-brown, white-grey and green. White brick makes a small room feel lighter; black and red-brown make a strong backdrop.
  • Style: there are rustic and vintage models, and grey and brown self-adhesive vinyl sheets in a retro style; you can find other designs among the wall stickers.

Stone effect wall panels for the living room, bedroom and basement

In the living room the most suitable walls are the television wall and the one behind the sofa: even a single strip of white or grey bricks is enough, and a spotlight from the side brings out the joints. In the bedroom, a stone effect wall looks good behind the headboard, in light colours. In a rustic room or a converted basement, red-brown and the rustic models recall old brick walls, perhaps next to the wood effect panels.

The hallway, the corridor and the study are other suitable places for an interior stone effect wall. In the kitchen and the bathroom choose areas away from the hob and from water splashes: these models are decoration, not splashbacks. To clad these two rooms there is also a separate collection, the PVC panels for the bathroom and kitchen.

Stone effect panels for outdoors: why these models are for indoors

Many people look for stone effect panels for outdoors, for a low wall, a balcony or a façade. The models in this collection are not suitable: they are decorations for interior walls, dry and protected, and outdoors rain, frost and direct sun would put both the material and the adhesive to the test.

An outdoor stone effect wall needs building materials, fixed with mortar or wall plugs, often by a professional. Indoors, on the other hand, a utility knife, a spirit level and a clean cloth are all you need for fitting.

How to fit self-adhesive stone effect panels

Almost all the models are self-adhesive; for the others, check the product page. More than the panel, the grip depends on the wall: it must be smooth, clean, dry and with well-bonded paint.

  • Clean the wall of dust and grease; if it has just been painted, wait until the paint is fully dry.
  • Mark the first row with a spirit level and a pencil, or a vertical line for the first length of a roll.
  • Remove the backing from the back little by little and press from the centre towards the edges with a cloth, so that no bubbles are left.
  • Join the next pieces following the pattern of the bricks: if the joints line up, the join is less noticeable.
  • Trim with a utility knife and a metal ruler around sockets, switches and skirting boards.

How to clean a stone effect wall

Dust collects in the joints, especially on the models in relief: now and then go over them with a feather duster or a soft brush. On the vinyl and PVC rolls, a barely damp cloth with a little mild detergent works well; on foam, dab without rubbing and avoid abrasive sponges, alcohol and solvents.

If an edge lifts, press it for a few seconds or add a dab of glue suitable for the material. When ordering, add two or three extra pieces and keep them: if a brick gets damaged, you replace it without redoing the wall.

Stone effect panels: how to compare prices and how many you need

Multiply the width and the height of the wall and add roughly 10% for cuts and for matching the pattern. Then check how much each pack covers: 10 panels of 70 × 70 cm cover 4.9 m², 10 panels of 38 × 35 cm about 1.3 m², the 70 cm × 10 m foam roll 7 m² and the 70 × 200 cm one 1.4 m².

The price depends on the model and the number of pieces. To compare, divide the price by the square metres covered: do the sum with the 10 m roll, with the 70 × 70 cm set and with the 38 × 35 cm one. Delivery is tracked, the maximum delivery time for your country is shown on each product page before you buy, and you can return your order within 30 days.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to cover a wall with stone effect panels?

With the products in this collection you mainly pay for the material, because you do the fitting yourself. For a wall of 3 × 2.7 m with the self-adhesive foam roll 70 cm wide you need 5 strips 2.7 m high: from a 10 m roll you get 3, so 2 rolls are enough. With other formats the sum changes, so always start from the square metres that each pack covers.

Which is better, stone effect wallpaper or panels?

It depends on the wall. Rolls cover more surface with fewer joints and are handy on large, clear walls; the foam ones 70 cm wide also have a relief you can feel by touch. Panels and tiles, in pieces from 30 × 30 to 70 × 100 cm, are easier to handle around windows, sockets and furniture, and if one gets damaged you replace it without touching the rest.

Do brick effect foam panels protect against cold or noise?

No. They are decorative coverings: they change the look of the wall, but they are not designed or sold to keep heat in or to reduce noise. Do not count on them against the cold or against noise coming from the neighbours or the street: in that case building work on the wall is needed. If what a room has is echo, there are other panels, made to absorb sound.

Can you put stone effect panels on a damp wall?

No: first the cause of the damp must be dealt with, whether it is a leak, rising damp or condensation. On a damp wall the adhesive loses its grip and the paint underneath can swell, and covering the stain hides it without removing it. No adhesive covering absorbs damp. Once the wall is sound and dry you can fit the panels; in the bathroom, keep them out of the shower area.

Can adhesive panels be peeled off without damaging the wall?

Not always. The adhesive sticks to the paint and, when you peel it off, it can take some of the paint with it, especially if the wall was painted recently or the paint is chalky. Before covering the whole wall, test one piece in an inconspicuous corner. To remove it, pull slowly with the panel close to the wall, and warm the adhesive with a hair dryer on a low setting.
