Types of Wall Panelling Materials for Home Interiors

The right material balances appearance, maintenance, and budget. Below are the most popular wall panelling materials used by interior designers in Kolkata.
Wooden and Veneer Wall Panelling
Wood panelling is timeless and elegant.
- Solid wood (teak, oak, mahogany) gives natural warmth and unmatched luxury.
- Wood veneer offers the same look at a lower cost, ideal for Residential Interior Projects.
Wooden panels require termite treatment and moisture protection. They’re best for accent walls and dry areas such as bedrooms or living rooms.
MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) Panels
A favourite among modern designers, MDF is smooth, affordable, and easy to customise.
- Excellent for painted or carved geometric patterns.
- Works well in living rooms, foyers, and study rooms.
- Avoid in wet or humid areas unless moisture-resistant MDF is used.
MDF allows creative freedom and remains a popular choice in Model Flat Interior Projects where precision and budget balance are key.
PVC and WPC Wall Panelling
PVC and WPC panels are perfect for humid regions like Kolkata.
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Waterproof, termite-proof, and easy to clean.
- WPC (Wood Plastic Composite): Combines wood fibres with plastic for a realistic wood look and long-lasting performance.
These panels are versatile, maintenance-free, and ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and Clubhouse Interior spaces that demand durability.
