VJ panelling, often also referred to as VJ, VJ panels or VJ boards, is a popular interior wall finish for homes and renovations. It’s affordable, easy to install and instantly elevates any space to create a timeless feature.
You can use VJ panelling to create a statement on a single wall in your home or make it a big feature by installing VJ panelling EVERYWHERE — on ceilings, walls and anywhere in between. The possibilities and VJ panelling ideas are endless! Want to see what’s possible? Here’s 7 VJ panelling designs you’ll want to recreate in your home! #LetsGo
VJ Panelling Ceiling
Ceilings are one of the most overlooked areas of a home when it comes to design — most often left like a blank canvas. However, they provide the perfect opportunity to add character and style to your home, elevating it to a new level. Adding VJ panelling for ceilings like we’ve done here with Easycraft easyGROOVE 150 Profile draws focus upwards and makes use of this often-neglected space — creating texture and a show-stopping feature.
2. VJ Panelling Kitchen Island
Creating a ‘WOW’ factor in your kitchen doesn’t have to be costly. VJ panelling in kitchens is a really clever and cost-effective way to elevate your kitchen island bench — and if you’re handy you could even DIY this feature to give your existing kitchen a whole new lease of life. It’s a classic yet modern VJ panelling look that suits a variety of home styles — from Coastal to Scandi.
Z+S Reno Tip • Painting the VJ panelling on your island bench white? Colour match it to your wall paint or other white cabinetry to create cohesion and balance in your design.
3. VJ Panelling Bedroom
There’s something about the clean, linear pattern of VJ panelling that’s instantly calming. That’s why it makes for the perfect feature wall in bedrooms. It creates impact without dominating the space — for a bedroom look that’s understated yet considered. Adding VJ panelling to bedrooms is always high on our agenda, for creating pattern, texture and style that looks and feels effortless.
4. VJ Panelling Laundry
Looking for laundry splashback ideas? VJ panelling is perfect for creating a calming and inviting aesthetic, that looks so good you’ll be making excuses to do laundry! And if you’re integrating VJ panels in other areas of your home, adding a feature in your laundry really makes sense and works to create a connection between rooms and your design. VJ panels in a laundry result in a classic look and feel, that works beautifully paired with light colours, timber and white.
5. VJ Panelling Bathroom
When it comes to materials for a bathroom renovation, most of us instantly imagine tiles and stone. While tiles or waterproof surfaces are needed for the floor and walls in your shower, VJ panelling can be used on most of the other walls!
Is VJ panelling waterproof? The simple answer is no. But a Wet Area Panel like Easycraft easyULTRA Wet Area Interior is moisture resistant and perfect for areas like behind the bath, vanities and everywhere in between. You really cannot go past VJ panelling in bathrooms to add a calming, timeless look and feel to your space. Plus, VJ panels can be a cost-effective alternative, compared to fully tiling walls in bathrooms, laundries and powder rooms.
6. Study Nook Ideas with VJ panelling features
Planning a study nook in your new build or renovation? It’s a functional and neat addition that provides much-needed storage and a valuable workspace — all in a teeny-tiny footprint. But just because a study nook space might be small, doesn’t mean it can’t pack a punch when it comes to style. Injecting VJ panelling into your design provides the perfect backdrop for shelves, artwork, pinboards and storage, creating an inviting home workspace.
7. Storage VJ Panelling Ideas
And let’s not forget those small but mighty storage areas in your home. Built-in seats, TV consoles, entertainment or storage units — they all present opportunities to add a bit of affordable luxury with the addition of VJ panelling. In fact, VJ panels can turn any space into a feature, by adding interest and texture that will stand the test of time and outlive changing design trends.
