If you’re seeking a modern twist on traditional wallpaper, Wallpaper Panels are an excellent option. At Printshape, we specialize in providing a stunning range of customizable wallpaper panels that allow you to express your style and enhance any environment. In this guide, we’ll delve deep into the benefits, uses, and creative possibilities of wallpaper panels, helping you to make informed decorating choices.
What Are Wallpaper Panels?
Wallpaper Panels are large sheets of wallpaper that cover specific areas of walls and have height of the wall (plus some reserve for ceiling and floor overlap). Unlike traditional wallpaper rolls that require careful measuring and matching, wallpaper panels simplify the process with their convenient sizes of wall height. They are typically un - pasted - can be applied with wallpaper paste, or Peel and Stick - adhesive applied on the back - a user-friendly choice for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals.

Investing in high-quality wallpaper panels means you can expect them to last. Thanks to UV gel inks, panels will resist fading, wear, and tear, making them an excellent choice for high-traffic areas.

Tips for Choosing the Right Wallpaper Panels
Choosing the right wallpaper panels can feel overwhelming given the array of options available. Here are some essential tips to help guide your decision-making process:
1. Consider the Space
Think about the room you’re decorating. Lighter colors tend to open up a space, making small rooms feel larger and more airy. Darker tones, on the other hand, can add warmth and coziness, perfect for bedrooms or intimate settings. Assess the size and lighting of your room to determine what colors and patterns will work best.
2. Match Your Decor
Ensure that your wallpaper panels coordinate with your existing furniture and decor. This consideration includes not only color but also style. If your furniture leans toward modern minimalism, a bold, graphic panel might clash. Conversely, a vintage floral design might complement a more traditional aesthetic beautifully.
3. Think About Functionality
Different rooms serve different purposes, and your wallpaper should reflect that. In high-traffic areas like office hallways or kids’ playrooms, opt for durable materials that can withstand wear and tear. For quieter spaces like bedrooms or home offices, feel free to get creative with bold designs or intricate patterns.
4. Consider Lighting
The type of lighting in a room can significantly affect how colors and patterns appear. Natural light can brighten and enhance colors, while artificial light may create a different ambiance. Test your chosen panels in various lighting conditions to ensure they create the desired effect.
5. Think About Texture
Texture plays a crucial role in interior design. Wallpaper panels come in various textures, from smooth and flat matte finish to textured and volumetric. Consider how the texture of your wallpaper will interact with other materials in the room, such as fabrics, woods, and metals.
We at Printshape keep at least 5 most popular textures in stock. These includes: sand - light and smooth texture, Suede - with a bit more pronounced depth, Canvas - imitating of artisan canvas texture, grasscloth - looks and feel almost like natural grass fibers wallpaper, and linen - mimicking linen cloth.
Creative Ideas for Using Wallpaper Panels
Now that you understand the benefits and considerations of wallpaper panels, let’s explore some creative ideas for incorporating them into your space.
1. Accent Walls
Creating an accent wall is one of the most popular uses for wallpaper panels. This technique involves applying a bold pattern or color to a single wall to create a focal point in the room.
