Wall paneling refers to the installation of panels or boards on interior walls to enhance aesthetics, insulation, and durability. These panels can be made from various materials, including wood, MDF (medium-density fiberboard), PVC, or metal. Wall paneling serves both decorative and functional purposes in interior design.

One common use of wall paneling is to add a decorative layer to walls, providing texture, visual interest, and depth to a room. Different styles, such as beadboard, shiplap, or raised panels, offer diverse design options to suit various aesthetics, from traditional to contemporary. Paneling can also be painted or stained to match existing decor or create a focal point within a space.

Beyond aesthetics, wall paneling can improve insulation, acoustics, and even act as a protective layer. Certain paneling materials, such as those with added insulation or acoustic properties, contribute to temperature control and sound absorption, enhancing the overall comfort of a room.
