Wall panels are an opportunity to create an individual interior by decorating walls using available materials. If we talk about panels as a product, then it is always an original, handmade work, which has a fairly high cost. Decorating an apartment with such fakes is not always relevant, because the product is selected according to existing interior and if repairs are made, then the panel becomes unnecessary, and the money spent is a pity. But it’s a completely different matter when the panel is made independently. This makes it possible to choose the theme, size, texture, material, color, but at the same time the cost of money is minimal.

Depending on what accessories will be stored in the pockets, the base is selected. The heavier they are, the stronger the base should be. Plywood is perfect; it does not deform and will hold the shape of the panel perfectly.
Regarding fabric, there are no special frames, but it is also better to use thick fabric. Pockets can be of different sizes and placed randomly. You can use pieces of different fabrics, even if they differ in density.

There are several characteristics that distinguish wall products from each other:
- the material from which the item is made. It can be a product made of wood, plastic, mirror surface, cardboard and others. Such paintings are decorated with buttons, dry plants, small mosaics, etc.;
- manufacturing technique - it can be in the form of knitting, weaving, embroidery, carving, inlay, etc.;
- form - here production is not limited by any boundaries. Products may have completely different sizes and forms of execution. These include ovals and polygons, and models consisting of several elements stand out;
- 3D effects are at the peak of popularity today. The effect of volume is then created by voluminous paper applications and protrusions. Such products imitate carved and bas-relief surfaces.
Wall products have two functions. The first and most important thing is decorative effect use. The panel is a complete independent element of room decoration.
The second equally important function is to hide existing imperfections in the form of unevenness or cracks. It is also possible to hide a safe under the panel.
Types of wall panels
There are several types of panels that can be made from the most different materials and in various techniques.
Textile products - this type is made from fabric using embroidery technique. Wooden canvas is most often used as a basis. Embroidery can take the form of picture compositions, ornaments, and appliqués. As a rule, such panels are made in industrial scale, however, there are also hand-made specimens, the cost of which is much higher.
Wooden products (carving, burning), the cost of which is high, but the appearance is quite premium.
Panels made from wallpaper fragments look very original. In addition, it is possible to make such a panel with your own hands.
Freesize type, the main difference of which is their free dimensions and the ability to supplement the composition with other elements. An example is modular compositions with various images.
Mirror panels, for the creation of which they are used as standard mirror surfaces, as well as elements of unusual shapes, wavy and uneven mirrors.
Panel placement locations
In any living space there are many wall surfaces on which it is possible to place decorative panels. The main condition is that the product is in harmony with the functionality of the room and its style.
Hallway
It is from the hallway that any apartment begins. Therefore, it is advisable to place a pleasant wall composition here that will greet everyone who comes. When choosing a suitable product, you should consider the size of the room.
For small rooms, it is better to choose small panels with a non-aggressive image in soothing colors. Best options There will be images of flowers, natural paintings.
corridor passage
If the corridor is not equipped with lighting sources, then you can choose a brighter panel, complementing it wall lamp. If the corridor is small, then several compositions on the wall will be enough.
But a spacious room should be equipped with a whole series of panels. An excellent option would be a composition related to one theme, for example four products that reflect the changing seasons.
Kitchen area
The kitchen is often decorated in light colors warm colors, but the panel should be bright, attracting all attention. A composition with a still life or products from coffee beans that fit the theme.
Living room
The main purpose of the living room is rest and relaxation. Based on this, decorative panels on the walls also have a calming appearance. Color palette products are calm, images in the form of landscapes.
In spacious living rooms, it is recommended to place the composition along the entire length of the wall surface; it can consist of several elements connected by a single plot. An excellent option would be big ship, plowing the surface of the sea, which is embroidered on fabric.
Another composition is a world map drawn on wooden base, consisting of several blocks. It is worth adding lighting to such a composition, and then the illuminated wood panel will become the main accent of the entire interior.
Sleeping area
The bedroom is the room where one goes to sleep and wakes up. Decorative panels here should serve as a means of peace in the evening and a source of awakening in the morning.
It is better to place images of nature opposite the bed, as in the photo of the panel in the bedroom on the wall. Pictures with space views look quite original.
You can create a wall decor composition in your children's bedroom yourself, attracting co-creation the children themselves.
Bathroom
When decorating a panel in the bathroom, you should pay attention not only to the external characteristics of the composition, but also to its performance qualities. Wood products are immediately eliminated, because due to high humidity they will quickly become unusable.
The most suitable option is products made from marble elements. Attached to a special solution, such compositions are not afraid of moisture and temperature changes. Thanks to large selection select wall decor compositions suitable option possible for any room and style direction.
Photo panel on the wall
There are many types of decorative panels on the wall: paintings, displays, canvases. Even if you hang a lot of mirrors with various shapes and size, combined stylistically, then you will get a decorative wall panel. Translated from Latin, it is a flap or piece of fabric, although the French version with a tile or board is much closer in meaning. So, a decorative panel is an item for decorating a room. Usually - walls or niches. This piece of furniture can be made of anything: plaster, stone and even plastic. The most common material is wood. In our case, an array of beech, ash and oak. The breeds are strong, good-quality, and do not require any scrupulous handling.
Carved paintings help determine the style of the room. Perhaps emphasize something. Bas-reliefs look more original and interesting than ordinary flat decor. And if you also place the decoration on the wall that is the most flooded sunlight, the image will visually appear more voluminous. Products with landscapes or animals look organic in the living room and bedroom. Something neutral is also appropriate, for example, geometric abstraction or some ornate patterns. A bas-relief with something more specific is perfect for the office - an image of weapons, cars or ships, maps of the world or a person in different forms. If your sense of humor allows, you can decorate your home with a product with a comic image or even text. Location - hallway.
Decorative bas-reliefs came into use thousands of years ago. Similar decorations were present even on the tombs of the pharaohs. A long time ago, three-dimensional paintings served as decoration in the palaces of Asia, Greece, Egypt and Sumer. So, for example, in Rus' they used caresses for this, the Egyptians, preferring pretentiousness and luxury, loved to decorate clay tablets precious stones. IN ancient Rome the panels were made of marble and granite. In Byzantium, glass was traditionally used for these purposes. The latter was decorated with natural dyes.
Today, along with residential premises, wooden reliefs are used to decorate hunting clubs, specialty stores, libraries, and theater lobbies. Very often similar items can be seen in baths. This is not surprising, because using wood for these purposes has many advantages. Let's look at the main ones. The material is convenient to use, as it can be restored without any problems. The service life will be extended by proper processing and impregnation. Wood has low thermal conductivity, which means that it will not heat up and the likelihood of getting burned by touching the panel is zero. In addition, solid wood is always a step towards maintaining the environment. Other material in conditions high temperatures can release various harmful compounds, and this is definitely not healthy. Wood, on the contrary, has a very beneficial effect on the body. Due to resins and natural essential oils, which it contains, have a positive effect on the respiratory system, nervous system, skin, hair, nails and even blood microcirculation - guaranteed.
Let me start with the fact that my husband and I bought our first apartment in our lives and began to gradually inhabit it. I am very inspired by eco-design, but we live in a big metropolis, so new interior I wanted to add a piece of nature. The first thing that needed to be done for a more or less comfortable stay was to equip the kitchen. Scrolling through the many beautiful pictures, I really wanted to make a panel from wood cuts for the wall above dining table.
Preparation
I read a bunch of sites on how to dry wood at home, since no one uses fresh saw cuts - they crack a lot and can become moldy. To be honest, there is very little information on the Internet on this matter, it is poorly verified, scarce and contradictory. Basically, all the advice boils down to the fact that this should be done in production conditions. In the end, I chose and decided to try the two most realistic methods for me: boil the saw cuts in oil or in a very concentrated salt solution. I outlined a general procedure: file, dry, process, sand. So, vacation came, we went to the village, and I began to act.
Step 1
In our area, mostly pine trees grow - that's what we used. Everything is simple here: we drank some spills by eye different diameters and forms. They were sawing something hand saw(she turned out to be more careful), something - with an electric saw (so the cuts turned out to be very “wavy”). Medium and small diameters have become accustomed to sawing circular saw: she gave the most best result- the cuts were very smooth and even, - but “I didn’t take” large diameters.
Step 2
Then I selected test cuts and boiled a couple of them in oil. I didn't get anything useful out of this. It was ordinary sunflower oil: they say you should use linseed oil, but we didn’t have it on hand. The saw cuts were burnt and blackened, but also dried out. The photo shows several regular cuts and one black one after oil treatment.
I had no choice but to cook the saw cuts in salt. I took a large old vat and boiled the cuts in several batches in a very concentrated salt solution. She cooked for a long time - from an hour to two, stirring occasionally. When boiling, all resins rise to the top in the form of a black film.
Be careful: one of my pans was damaged - its bottom was corroded by salt at the site of a small wormhole. So use ceramic cookware with a solid bottom or one that you don't mind. And watch the process carefully!
Some saw cuts crack greatly during cooking, sometimes in half, but these are few. In any case, make provisions in reserve - there will be a defect one way or another.
Step 3
When the saw cuts were still damp after cooking, I removed the bark - it becomes soft and can be easily removed with a knife. Then I laid the blanks on a cloth and dried them for a long time (about a week or two). room temperature for a long time, and then on a warm stove. As a result of this long process, the saw cuts actually dried out, and the salt removed all the resins and moisture from them.
Step 4
When all the blanks were made, I compiled a rough version of the panel and selected the necessary ones for polishing. Sanding took 3 days. My husband removed the top layers with a grinder, and I then brought the cuts to mind using grinder installed in a vice. The work is very dusty, we did it in the garage and outside. Then all the cuts were treated with a special impregnation for wood against bacteria.
I cut it before and after sanding.
Step 5
I used plywood for the base of the panel. The sheet was of medium thickness: not too thin so as not to lead, but not too thick so as not to weigh down the structure. Then I painted the plywood the same color as the wall where the structure will be attached. Additionally, I decided to process the cuts again so that the dust would not settle on them so much. I didn't want to varnish coating, therefore, for the most natural effect, I purchased natural water-based wax so that the wood could “breathe.”
Step 6
I spread the waxed saw cuts over a sheet of plywood and then glued them on one at a time.
Step 7
We secured the finished panel with self-tapping screws above the dining table. We really liked the result. I hope you will also appreciate it, and my humble experience will help you if you want to do something similar.
