How to Jazz Up Your Home’s Interiors with 3D Wall Panels

Those who have been looking for an alternative to classic wallpaper for a long time, most likely, have already heard a lot about the now popular 3D panels. They are increasingly found in public spaces and private interiors, and you cannot ignore this fashionable phenomenon.

Original, eco-friendly, fashionable – this is just a small list of the advantages of 3D wall panels, which have turned from an outlandish innovation design into a confident trend. This material contains everything you wanted to know about them and expert advice to boot.

The creation and development of 3D materials for wall decoration began in the USA in 2008. Soon, the fashion for such decor captured Europe and then reached our country.

3D Panels – What is It?

First of all, such panels are a new word in interior design. Unlike wallpaper or paint, they give the room an additional volume, create an unusual, deep play of light on the embossed surface and become a kind of center of attraction in the interior.

As for the technical characteristics, the gypsum 3D panels, firstly, are non-toxic. Secondly, they suggest two types of installation (seamless or with seams), and thirdly, they create good sound insulation. In addition, they can be easily repainted, restored, and, thanks to their unique inner side, are lighter.

How to Apply 3D Panels in the Interior?

There are many options for using 3D panels in the interior: from filling the entire wall to point use. In the living room and bedroom, gypsum panels look especially advantageous in TV areas. Models with a design that imitate the pattern of waves, water surfaces, or modern geometric shapes are best suited for this design. And also, 3D panels favorably emphasize the fireplace area.

In the corridors, panels that imitate capitonné, coach ties, or pouf surfaces look very interesting. Light models are ideal for a classic style, and a dark color scheme will give the interior a slightly mystical mood.

You can also give interiors with columns a special chic and new interpretation with the help of 3D panels. The panels are easily cut and assembled, so decorating the columns with them is not difficult. Panels with built-in lights are perfect for this.

If you want to introduce gypsum panels into the interior locally, 3D panels work perfectly as separate art objects. You can choose ready-made options or combine panels from one collection to your taste.

Those who love everything extraordinary should pay attention to an unusual but trendy solution in modern interiors – an accent panel on the ceiling. In addition, 3D panels can be used as a wall-to-ceiling transition.

In public interiors, especially offices or hotels, gypsum panels are most often used as the centerpiece of the reception area.

Where to Buy?

It would seem that the question of where to buy gypsum panels should not arise at all – you can find dozens of online stores on the Internet. Nevertheless, it is the 3D panels that are best bought “live.” Only this guarantees their quality and, accordingly, long service. There is a great chance to come across either outright scammers (they take an advance payment and disappear) or low-quality products (other material, broken, wet or crooked panels, geometry mismatch, complete inconsistency).

Important Tips

• The choice of 3D panels should be carried out only “live,” seeing the installation – gluing on the wall and understanding what the relief looks like on a large area, and not on a panel measuring 500 x 500 mm.
• Choose only lightweight panels. Otherwise, the structure may collapse in a year and a half.
• Buy 3D panels only in the salon, look at the complete composition, and make sure that there are no traces of seams on it. This means that the panels have perfect geometry.
• The purchase of panels from a well-known manufacturer guarantees that they are free of chemical compounds and formaldehyde, as well as the availability of the desired design and the ability to purchase or repair the installation in addition.
• Buy only with a turnkey installation service with a guarantee! Painting with professional compressor equipment is especially important.

Of course, it is impossible to tell everything about 3D panels in one article. In addition, we learned that some companies produce glass, fashion, and eco panels for walls, 3D fireplace portals, and decor items. And yet, as it turned out, you can build lighting into such panels, and with its help, you can create a special play of light and emphasize the relief. Details are in our next publications.
