Thought panelling was just for walls? Think again.
Wall panelling specialist Naturewall is redefining the role of decorative surfaces in the kitchen, with its waterproof SlatWall panels offering an easy way to transform tired kitchen islands with rich texture, added depth and striking visual interest.
Designed and manufactured in Yorkshire, the panels are fully moisture resistant and easy to keep clean – making them the ideal choice for busy kitchens.
Boasting a wood-effect finish, they bring natural warmth and a timeless finish to one of the home’s most functional spaces.
Charlie Farrar, Product Marketing Manager at Naturewall, said: “Kitchens naturally have to work hard, so surfaces are usually chosen with practicality in mind, but that does not mean style should be overlooked.
“Panelling helps turn the island into a true focal point, giving it presence and a more furniture-led feel rather than additional cabinetry.”
Naturewall’s Waterproof SlatWall boasts a wood-grain effect finish that brings the biophilic beauty of wood into what is often a space dominated by practical materials and functional appliances.
Crafted from 90 per cent recycled materials, they feature a tongue and groove system for easy installation and a seamless finish.
Charlie added: “By adding wood-effect panelling to the island, you can soften the overall feel of the kitchen and create a bespoke, elevated finish.
“When chosen carefully, it is a simple way to balance function with character, which is exactly what modern kitchen design should aim for.”
Naturewall’s Waterproof SlatWall panelling is available now in a wide range of finishes, from rich walnut to cool natural tones. Prices start at £89.99.
