Timber Wall Panels: MAXImising Aesthetics

These days timber panels are a common feature within interior design, as more and more architects and specifiers become aware of the flexibility, durability, beauty and immense design possibilities of plywood.

One area where ply panels excel is interior walls – from eye-catching coloured feature walls to subtle neutrals and natural tones, ply wall panels can enliven a room or balance a space, depending on your needs and choice of product.

To showcase the vast array of design possibilities, in this article, we’re sharing some fabulous ways timber wall panels can maximise the aesthetics within a wide range of interior spaces, including schools, corporate offices, community projects, private homes and hospitality venues.

Timber acoustic panels are often favoured for interior designs where sound absorption is needed, and our Maxi Perforated Panels can be seen in a wide range of commercial and residential settings. In this article, we’ll take a look at the acoustic properties of our perforated acoustic panels, and share some recent case studies where the ‘quiet achiever’ of our plywood range has been used to stunning effect.

The subtle beauty of timber wall panels

Modern interior design often includes a range of contrasting colours and textures within a single space to add visual interest, and without a central material to tie it all together, the space can lack cohesion and risk looking busy and cluttered. Maxiply plywood panels are the ideal choice to bring harmony to an interior space, as seen in the stunning Lyon’s House project. The neutral tones and natural warmth of our Maxi Panel Baltic Birch panels finished with White Terrace look stunning on the walls of this renovated and extended heritage home, perfectly aligning with the striking black exposed beams and built-in cabinetry of this alluring design.

The vibrancy of ply wall panels

For interiors where colour is a key element within the design, Maxiply products are a standout choice, thanks to the extensive range of Maxi Colour plywood available and the ability to include custom prints. Our colourful ply wall panels are a popular choice for educational facilities in particular, as the energy and vibrancy of the colours really elevate learning environments, creating a space where students can thrive. This is showcased beautifully within the award-winning St Joseph’s Primary School Learning Centre, where a combination of bold Maxi Colour panels finished in vivid Red Dust and Sunflower Yellow, alongside gorgeous custom wall murals brought to life on our versatile Maxi Print ply panels really elevate the space.

Unique shapes and textures of timber wall panels

Incorporating unique textures and patterns into your interior walls is another way to enliven your aesthetics. The distinctive Maxi Edge highlights the beauty of plywood’s edge grain, while Maxi Edge Patterned Panels take this to another level as seen in the eclectic Jing Jai Thai project where the panels are used to perfection on this stylish eatery’s walls adding a unique and eye-catching element to this vibrant space. Feature plywood walls can be a real focal point within a design, particularly when enhanced by the clever use of shapes as seen in the McKinnon Secondary College gymnasium where the words ‘Go McKinnon’ are subtly incorporated into the design. Textures can also make a feature wall pop, as shown in the peg board cafe sign within the Botanicca project, demonstrating innovative use of our Maxi Perforated Panels. Other Maxiply products that can be used in creative ways to create visual interest on walls include Maxi Film, Maxi Line and Maxi Deco half-dowel timber panels, which create a stunning focal point within Mirvac’s Melbourne workspace.
