Decorative panels are a versatile and striking way to create character in your home. Read our 5 tips on different uses for decorative panels!
Decorative panels have become a popular element in home decor. Especially real wood in interiors is fascinating. And no wonder, as wood improves acoustics, brings warmth, and has proven health benefits, including reducing stress and improving mood.
How and where should decorative panels be used then? Below are our tips on various and
versatile uses of accent panels.
1. Decorative panels as an accent wall
The most common uses for decorative panels are accent walls. An accent wall gives the room character and adds warmth, for example, to an otherwise light and minimalist interior. The accent wall acts as the room's focal point and is already a very striking but timeless decorative element. Depending on the installation direction, you can easily emphasize either the room's height or width.

2. Headboard from decorative panel
In the era of decorative panels, panels are now transforming into headboards. In Scandinavian interiors, the bedroom is often kept simple, and the bed serves as the room's focal point. A headboard is a striking way to add character to the bedroom.

3. Striking ceiling from decorative panel
Choosing the ceiling material not only improves the room's acoustics but also affects the sense of space, lighting, and completes the room's look. A light ceiling panel brings spaciousness, brightness, and increases the sense of space, while a dark ceiling panel creates a warm and cozy atmosphere. The installation direction of the panel can significantly affect the sense of space.

4. Peace and atmosphere from decorative panel for humid spaces
Decorative panel is a popular material, for example, on bathroom or toilet ceilings. If you choose an untreated panel for humid spaces, remember to treat the panel with, for example, varnish or sauna protection.
The safest choice for humid spaces is a panel made from thermal wood, which is also suitable for saunas. For example, the Dyyni panel made from thermal wood is an excellent choice for saunas or other humid spaces. Knot-free radiata pine does not resin and withstands large temperature and humidity fluctuations. Thermal wood is recommended to be treated with clear sauna protection or paraffin oil. Treatment further enhances the durability properties of thermal wood and makes the panel a long-lasting eye-catcher.

5. A striking detail from decorative panel
Small and sometimes even dull details in the home and other spaces come to life
with decorative panels, as decorative panels are visually striking on their own. Decorative panels are easy to handle and modify to suit the space or purpose, so they work great even in smaller details. See below how cabinet doors come to life with finger-jointed panels!
