Decorative wall panels come in many different styles, sizes, shapes, colors and materials. Wall paneling has the ability to completely transform simple decor into extraordinary spaces with plenty of character. 

From its common use on walls to more innovative and creative applications like furniture and beyond, interior design panels can elevate any space. Get inspired with these real-life applications below.

Beautify a Boat Bridge and Command a Cabin in Style

A boat isn’t just floating transportation. It often acts as a full-fledged getaway, and it’s important to design it in a way that is durable and beautiful. Regardless of trip duration, from hours to days to weeks, functional design is key.

Consider getting creative and innovative with Burlply Wall Paneling. It features a hybrid plywood core made for projects requiring lightweight material and durability — something even the sea can’t shake. It offers a premium look with unmatched color and texture but doesn’t have the major drawbacks of wood. Burlply is a perfect choice.

This material is ideal for finishing long or wide shelves for cabinets and closets, as well as automobile and marine projects.

Optimize an Office Space

The term “biophilia” means roughly to bring outdoor design indoors, such as an office, to accommodate humans’ basic desire to be closer to nature. According to Kenneth Freeman with Work Study, “Studies have revealed that adding biophilic elements to offices can increase productivity and reduce absenteeism, two factors that impact the bottom line due to the large portion of a company’s operating costs represented by human resources.” 

Incorporating natural features and textures like wood and stone into a space’s design is perfect for bringing the outdoors indoors. Offering wood-textured paneling for desk furniture, office beams and cabinetry is sure to bring out the benefits of biophilic design — without the upkeep that true wood requires.

On the more experimental side, unique leather designs on office furniture create visually appealing patterns and spectacular finished surfaces. Azure Signature Surfaces are known for their modern, architecturally-pleasing designs.
