Transform These 3 Rooms in Your Home with Fluted Wall Panels
We’ve seen it time and time again — a simple wall panel can completely transform a room. At Feature Panel, we’re lucky to work with homeowners, designers, and builders across New Zealand who are turning blank walls into standout features with our architectural panelling.
Our panels are more than just a pretty surface. Made with a sturdy MDF core and finished in beautiful timber veneers or high-quality laminate, they bring texture, warmth, and character to any space. Whether you’re chasing a minimalist Scandi vibe or just want to breathe some new life into a tired room, here are some of our favourite ways to use feature wall panels around the home.
Create a Bedroom You Can Truly Unwind In
Your bedroom should feel like a retreat — a calming space where you can switch off at the end of the day. But too often it becomes the place where laundry piles up and life’s chaos creeps in.
A fluted wall panel behind your bed can make a huge difference. It’s an easy way to add texture, warmth, and a sense of structure — without the need for bulky furniture or extra clutter. We’ve also seen beautiful results using panels between windows, across wardrobes, or as a full feature wall in soft, calming tones. It’s amazing how one design tweak can make your bedroom feel brand new (and way more inviting).
Set the Tone in Your Home Office
These days, lots of us are working from home — whether it’s full-time or just a couple of days a week. And we get it: finding that separation between “home” and “work” can be tricky when it’s all happening in the same space.
That’s where wall panelling can help define your workspace. Installing fluted panels behind your desk or across one wall can create a clear visual distinction — giving your office a professional, put-together look. If you want to take it a step further, our Wave Flex panels can be wrapped around desks or shelving for a subtle design upgrade that looks custom-built.
Refresh a Tired Lounge Space
Lounge starting to feel a bit... flat? You’re not alone. It’s one of the most-used rooms in the house, and sometimes a few cushions just won’t cut it.
Adding a feature panel wall behind your TV or entertainment unit is a great way to modernise the space without going overboard. You could also frame a window, highlight a corner nook, or swap out dated artwork with a fluted panel painted in a bold colour. It’s a simple way to inject texture and life into your lounge — and trust us, it makes the whole room feel more curated.
