Widely open and relaxed: The Appeal of Horizontal Panels
Horizontal wooden wall panels create a sense of calm and balance. Their lines naturally draw the eye across the room, making spaces feel wider. This effect is especially useful in smaller rooms where the walls might feel too close. Horizontal installations create a more expansive vision rather than depth, making rooms more spacious and elegant.
Horizontal wooden panels work well in bedrooms, living rooms, and any area designed for relaxation. The real wood material and texture create a natural look, and their clean look fits perfectly with modern or minimalist interiors, making them a popular choice.
Design Tip: Opt for light-colored wall panels like RESHA’s Pine wood panels; they make a room feel even more spacious. Homeowners can also Pair them with neutral-toned furniture in a seating area to create a cohesive, airy look.
Height and Energy: The Elegance of Vertical Panels
Vertical wall panels add height and vibrancy to any space. Vertical instals guide the eye upward; they create the illusion of taller walls and a more open feel.
These panels are perfect for hallways or rooms with high ceilings. They bring a dynamic energy to the design and can make a bold statement, whether used as a feature wall or throughout a space.
Design Tip: Use darker vertical panels like RESHA’s Thermo Pine wood panel in low-ceilinged rooms to add depth while emphasizing height. Dark hues invite attention from afar, attracting each and every design element nearby. We suggest installing all wounded pendant lights for a sophisticated touch.
Creative Mix: Combining Vertical and Horizontal wall panels
We suggest combining vertical and horizontal panels for a unique look. This mix can add visual interest by allowing you to experiment with patterns and textures. One popular way is to install them crisscrossed and suggest an upward or sideways direction.
Another example is using horizontal panels on the lower half of the wall and vertical ones above. This combination balances grounding and movement in the room.
Design Tip: Choose contrasting finishes for the two directions. For instance, pair matte vertical panels with glossy horizontal ones for a modern, stylish effect.
