How to make hallway panelling. Using wall panelling in bathrooms. Measure how tall and how wide your panels are to be then cut four pieces of moulding to size. Wall panelling is a useful and attractive way to conceal services such as pipework and toilet cisterns. But vertical paneling when done the modern way can bring a lot of character to a room through texture.

With the wall only being 213cm in length i decided to really budget it and diy my own wall panelling with mdf board and decorative mouldings purchased from my local wickes. Panelling is a popular often more affordable alternative to wall tiles in bathrooms especially in victorian homes. It can help a built in bath blend in with the room and hide pipework. Your builder should ensure there s sufficient space behind the panelling and construct the frame using studwork and possibly an additional substrate such as plywood or mdf depending on the type of panelling.

It can also be used to build secret cupboards or even full doors to en suites. A mitre box enables you to cut at an exact 45 degree angle so that your corners match up neatly like picture frames. Lay it out with masking tape and move the tape until you re satisfied. This will create panels with good proportions.

Once something that was considered expensive as it was made bespoke and crafted out of real wood you can now add panelling for a fairy reasonable price with mdf pre made panels from the local diy store or from online moulding companies. For this post we are focusing on the painted version but will address a wood grain version in a follow up post. Once you know exactly the size of your panel you need to cut your moulding to size in the mitre box.
