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. Minimalist storage solutions Create seamless storage areas throughout your home with VJ panelling.
