Rachael Turner’s Secret to Stunning Interiors

Read on for Rachael’s top tips for using VJ Board Pro to transform ordinary spaces into something truly special.

13th January 2025

Inspired VJ wall panelling ideas and clever design solutions

Rachael Turner, founder of Front Porch Properties, is a designer and builder known for creating beautiful homes that blend timeless character with modern functionality. Over the years, she has refined her craft and curated materials that elevate every space she works on. One product she consistently relies on is Intrim’s VJ Board Pro for wall and ceiling panelling.

Why does she choose it? Because it strikes the perfect balance between elegance, practicality, and versatility.

VJ (vertical joint) panelling adds instant character and texture to any room. Minimalistic yet almost limitless with possibilities, the crisp lines of VJ wall and ceiling panelling create a sense of height and sophistication, drawing the eye upward and making spaces feel larger and more refined. Whether she’s designing a Farmhouse-style cottage, or a modern coastal retreat, Intrim’s VJ Board Pro panels always bring warmth and timeless appeal to the interiors.

Top ways to use VJ Board Pro in your projects

Statement walls for TV areas

Living rooms often revolve around the TV, but it doesn’t have to be the only focal point. By using VJ Board Pro on the TV wall, you can create a seamless backdrop that elevates the entire space. Not only can it conceal unsightly wiring, but it can also add texture without competing with the screen.

Ceilings with a wow factor

Ceilings are often overlooked, but they offer so much potential. Carry the vertical lines of the VJ boards from the walls onto the ceiling to create a cohesive and dramatic effect. At night, with the right lighting, the texture of the panels can cast beautiful shadows, adding depth and intrigue to the room. This simple addition can make a space feel truly bespoke.

Captivating & cosy kitchens

The kitchen is the heart of the home, and VJ Board Pro adds an extra layer of charm to these essential spaces. From feature walls and splashbacks to cabinetry detailing, the clean, vertical lines create a cohesive and elegant look. Rachael often uses VJ Board Pro to enhance both the functionality and style of kitchens, ensuring they feel thoughtfully designed and effortlessly timeless.

Calming bedroom backdrops

Incorporate a full height or half height feature wall using VJ Board Pro behind the bed to deliver a subtle but elegant aesthetic to any bedroom. Pair with soft, neutral tones to creates a serene environment perfect for relaxation or go bold with a strong colour palette to make it a focal point.

 

Making laundries memorable

Laundry rooms can often be overlooked when designing a home, but there’s no need for them to be drab and lifeless. They might be practical spaces but that doesn’t mean they can’t also be beautiful. Add a touch of charm to these spaces with VJ Board Pro for wet areas! Made from ultra-moisture resistant MDF, you can tie in this space with the rest of the home.

Alluring study nooks

Study nooks are all about making the most of small spaces, and VJ Board Pro is the perfect choice here. The clean lines add visual interest without overwhelming the space, creating a sense of order and focus. It’s the ideal backdrop for a productive and inspiring work area.

Skirting Boards

Minimalist storage solutions

Create seamless storage areas throughout your home with VJ panelling. Whether it’s with built-in window or bench seating, storage units, furniture, or wall cabinets, the texture and lines of VJ boards turn an essential requirement into an impressive household feature that seamlessly blends with the rest of your home.
