How to choose wall cladding

Start with three questions: what you want to change (the look or the acoustics), how much wall you need to cover and how much time you want to spend fitting it.

To reduce echo in a room, look at the acoustic wall panels. To change the look of a wall, you have decorative wall panels, wall moulding and peel and stick wallpaper. For the kitchen and bathroom there are stick on tiles.

Each product page gives the dimensions, material and number of pieces: compare them with the wall you have measured.

Wall cladding for every room

Each room has different needs. Here are some simple starting points:

Fitting without building work

To put up the cladding you only need a tape measure, a spirit level, a craft knife and a cloth. After measuring and cleaning the wall, you peel off the backing and press, or fix the pieces with glue or screws, as the product page says.

For hanging or fixing the panels you will find hooks, screws and double-sided tape, and for edges and corners there are self-adhesive decorative mouldings.

Interior wall cladding: where to start

Cladding an interior wall means covering the plaster or paint you already have with a material that changes the look of the room or the way sound travels within it. There is no need to demolish or redo the plaster: the products in this shop go onto the wall as it is, with the adhesive layer they already have on the back, with glue, with double-sided tape or with screws, depending on the model.

Before choosing, look at the wall. It must be dry, clean and fairly smooth; if the plaster is crumbling or there are damp stains, fix that problem first, because no cladding solves it. Then decide what you want to achieve. To reduce echo in a room with little furniture you need the acoustic wall panels, which reduce echo and reverberation inside the room but do not keep out noise from outside. To change only the look there are the decorative wall panels, the wall moulding and the peel and stick wallpaper.

Ideas for cladding the walls at home

A useful rule is to change a single wall and leave the others as they are: the effect is more noticeable and the job is shorter. Here are some ideas that work in homes of different sizes.

  • a feature wall with wooden wall panels in mosaic or hexagonal shapes, which add relief and a natural colour;
  • frames and mouldings to paint the same colour as the wall, in the hallway or behind the sofa: the relief shows without crowding the room;
  • a headboard wall covered with padded panels or with the wall moulding for the bedroom;
  • a stone or brick effect backdrop in the entrance or in the dining area;
  • a plain coloured surface, chosen to match the furniture.

The materials compared: wood, PVC, foam and adhesives

Each material has a use and a limit. This summary helps you choose before reading each product page.

  • Wood. It gives relief and a natural finish, but it is heavier and is usually fixed with glue and nails or screws: you need a little DIY skill.
  • PVC. PVC wall panels are light and can be cut with a craft knife. Some have a 3D relief or a marble effect and are stuck to the wall.
  • Foam. Acoustic foam is used to reduce echo: you will find it in wave, pyramid or corner shapes. It has an acoustic purpose before a decorative one.
  • Adhesives. Stick on tiles, vinyl and wallpaper are applied by peeling off the backing and pressing onto the wall. They go on quickly and are easy to change, but on paint that does not grip well, a little colour may come off when you remove them.

To add a detail without working the whole wall, the wall stickers (plants, butterflies, quotes) go on without special tools.

Living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom walls

Living room. It is the room where echo is most noticeable when there is little furniture and many hard surfaces. A decorative cladding on the main wall and, if echo bothers you, a few acoustic panels on the free wall are a good starting point.

Bedroom. A clad wall behind the bed creates a focal point. Padded materials feel pleasant to the touch.

Kitchen. Choose smooth surfaces that you can wipe with a cloth. Near the hob, check the manufacturer’s notes on the product page, because not all materials are suitable. For the area between the wall units and the worktop there are kitchen tile stickers.

Bathroom. In a damp room, always check on the product page where you can apply the product and how it must be fixed. Bathroom tile stickers are a simple option for renewing the walls, applied to a clean, dry surface.

How to clad a wall without building work

With adhesive or light materials you can do it all yourself, with few tools: tape measure, spirit level, craft knife, ruler and a cloth. Here are the steps, in order.

  1. Measure the wall in width and height and work out the square metres. Add about 10% for cuts and offcuts.
  2. Clean and degrease the surface and leave it to dry completely. Dust and traces of grease are a common reason why pieces come off.
  3. Lay the pieces out dry, without fixing them, and check the layout. Start from a corner or from the centre and mark the starting line with the spirit level.
  4. Peel off the backing a little at a time, or apply the glue or screws that the product page specifies. Press from the centre towards the edges.
  5. Cut with the craft knife where needed. Around sockets and switches, work carefully and switch off the power first.

Always follow the instructions on each product page: some models, such as certain wooden panels, need white glue and nails.

How to clad a wall on a budget

The cost depends on the surface and the material. To spend less, it makes sense to clad a single wall, choose adhesive materials that need no other products for fitting, and compare the price per square metre, not per piece: each product page says how many pieces come in the pack and the size of each, so you only need to divide the price by the area covered.

If you have any doubts about the measurements or the material, write to us by WhatsApp before ordering. Tracked delivery takes 7 to 15 working days from payment, and you have 30 days to return the product.

Wall cladding: frequently asked questions

Choose adhesive materials and clad a single wall instead of the whole room. Peel and stick wallpaper, vinyl, tiles and light panels go on without a builder and without other fitting products. Before ordering, work out the square metres, compare the price per square metre rather than per piece, and check how many pieces each pack contains.

A feature wall with wooden or wood effect panels, moulding frames painted the same colour as the wall, stone or brick effect in the entrance and in the dining area, peel and stick wallpaper in the bedroom and stick on tiles in the kitchen and bathroom. If you want to reduce echo, add acoustic panels on the wall with the least furniture.

Measure the wall, clean and degrease the surface and leave it to dry. Then lay the pieces out dry, start from a corner or from the centre using the spirit level, and fit them following the instructions on each product page: adhesive backing, glue or screws. Cut with a craft knife and ruler where needed. The wall must be dry, clean and fairly smooth.

There is no single name: it depends on the material. The general term is wall cladding or wall covering. If it is made of slats and frames it is called wall moulding, if it is sheets to fit it is called decorative wall panels, if it is a roll it is wallpaper or self-adhesive vinyl and if it is small squares it is tiles.

Yes, with adhesive or light materials: wallpaper, vinyl, tiles, self-adhesive panels and many mouldings go on by hand, with few tools and without a builder. Some wooden or PVC panels need glue or screws: the product page says how to fix them. The wall must be clean, dry and fairly smooth.
