We panel the walls of a passage or corridor. The choices are slim fluted panels, half-height moulding and wood strips. Half-height moulding covers the lower part of the wall and leaves the top plain. A fluted panel often finishes the far end.
The space most homes forget
It makes otherwise wasted passage space look finished. Most homes decorate the rooms and forget the path between them. You walk through it many times a day. A little panelling makes the whole home feel more complete.
A corridor that feels like a gallery
A plain corridor becomes part of the design. The lower moulding also protects the wall from scuffs and bags. A panelled end wall gives the eye somewhere to land. The walk from room to room feels like a gallery.
Who it suits
- Your passage is long, plain and a little dull.
- The lower walls get marked by bags, toys or luggage.
- You want the home to feel finished between the rooms too.
Before you choose
- Passages are narrow, so we keep the panels slim.
- Door frames and switchboards break the run. We plan the panels around them.
- Good lighting matters more here than in any other space.
