You’re probably aware that cladding can be a smart and practical covering for the exterior of a house, but did you know that cladding isn’t just for outside? Cladding can also be used indoors, and with our list of interior cladding ideas, you can use it in a number of inventive ways inside the home. Some types, such as fibre cement cladding, might not be best suited, but timber and composite cladding can add a unique aesthetic to your interiors, as well as offering practical benefits such as improved insulation. Keep reading to discover our distinctive interior cladding ideas, and you can also check out our guide to installing composite cladding.
Shiplap cladding is one of the sleekest modern interior wall cladding ideas. Originally used in the construction of ships, it uses overlapping panels that once kept out water and is just as good at keeping in heat and keeping out cold. It also allows for a smooth, uniform finish that’s great for indoors.
Composite cladding can be used to make installation easy, and the extra durability of the composite material will keep it looking great for years to come. Our composite cladding comes with a 10-year warranty. It’s particularly weather-resistant, but without exposure to the elements outside, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t last for decades.
Board-and-batten cladding uses wide cladding boards with thinner strips of material – the battens – attached over the seams where they meet. The boards and battens usually run vertically, which can make the room look taller, but you could also try horizontal boards for a truly unique aesthetic.
Regardless of how you install it, board-and-batten cladding always looks striking. The arrangement of the battens on top of the boards adds a sense of depth and texture, which can also help cover imperfections. It’s highly customisable, with the option for using complementary or contrasting colours for the two components. It’s also relatively easy to install, though as with decking, you may want to consider the benefits of DIY versus professional installation.
Slatted composite cladding is even better at adding texture to any interior or exterior wall. It features a series of evenly paced parallel slats or strips that are wider than battens and form a sophisticated patterned surface with a lot of depth. This can give the impression of a bigger room, and music and film lovers will also appreciate the acoustic properties. Slatted cladding walls can reduce echo and improve sound clarity, making it a great choice for anything from a home cinema to a stereo room.
Wood composite cladding tones such as slatted oak cladding can add a warm natural feel to any room, while black cladding and anthracite cladding can be a sleeker, modern option.
Tired of wallpapering every few years? Floor-to-ceiling wall cladding can really transform your interior spaces and also brings lots of practical benefits. One of the benefits of composite cladding is that it provides a lot of added insulation and has superior moisture resistance, making it ideal for kitchens or bathrooms. It’s also very low maintenance and easy to wipe clean compared to wallpaper, painted walls and even timber cladding.
When it comes to wall cladding ideas, interior features don’t have to cover the whole room or even a whole wall. One innovative idea could be a headboard made of composite cladding. This gives a unique look and texture that’s more than solid enough to sit up against and provides incredible durability and protection for the wall behind. The one downside of this is that you won’t be able to freely move your bed around the room without removing or repurposing the cladding.
A feature wall is a wall that is decorated differently from the rest of the room to make it stand out and add a more interesting look and feel to the whole space. The simplest way to do this is to have a different colour, but different patterns, wallpapers and even materials can also make for an eye-catching feature wall.
Composite cladding can certainly have that bold effect, with a strong aesthetic bringing a modern yet natural style. There’s a wide range of cladding colours and finishes to choose from, allowing you to create a feature to go with multiple colour schemes and themes in the rest of the room.
They’re not for everyone, but black surfaces can add a stunning look to interior spaces and blend very well with other bold colours. Black slatted composite cladding comes with a built-in sheen, and when it contrasts with brighter furniture and decorative elements, it can add a sense of depth that actually makes a room look bigger. It can also reduce glare from screens and other devices. It can also create a cosy cocooning effect that can promote focus and calm.
A variation on a feature wall could be installing interior cladding around a chimney. Composite cladding is relatively easy to cut to size and install, and it comes in a wide range of colours, giving it design versatility for all kinds of different themes. It’s also durable and impact resistant.
Cladding can frame a chimney or fireplace, giving it an eye-catching sense of emphasis. It should be remembered, though, that composite cladding is combustible, so for active fireplaces, it should be placed outside the required fire clearance zone.
You can fit regular shelving to interior cladding, generally attaching it to the frame that the panels themselves are fitted to. Another interesting idea is to use the composite cladding material itself to make a shelf. This produces a cohesive effect, with the colour and finish blending seamlessly. The composite material is particularly tough and durable and has built-in pigment, so it doesn’t need to be painted or stained.
A sleeping nook, or bed nook, is a cosy alcove or recessed space specifically designed for resting. Its partially closed-in design creates a cocoon of calm by blocking out sound and light, leading to restful sleep. Warm wood tones can make it feel even more relaxing. Composite panels can separate the living area from the sleeping area, and it can also be repurposed, providing an in-built headboard and footboard, and space for shelves, lights or plug sockets. An alternative to a sleeping nook could be a reading nook, with room for a big armchair and reading light.
Composite cladding is incredibly versatile. As well as the interior wall cladding ideas above, composite material can also be used for a number of eye-catching and practical modern exterior cladding ideas. Composite cladding offers an affordable and durable option and is perfect for all kinds of different projects and themes.
