Half-height panelling is a versatile design element that is frequently used in interior design for aesthetic and functional reasons. They can be used particularly well to:  

1. Elegant interior design

- Visual structuring: They divide walls horizontally, which can make rooms appear more harmonious. Especially in high rooms, this ensures a balanced relationship between wall surface and decoration.  

- Stylish ambience: Classic wood panelling or modern panels can give the room a sophisticated, warm or contemporary flair.  

2. Protecting the walls

- Dirt and wear: In heavily used areas such as hallways, dining rooms or children's rooms, half-height panelling protects the walls from scratches, knocks and stains.  

- Durability: Wood is a very robust material. Painting with linseed oil or stand oil paints makes the panelling easy to care for and durable.  

3. Functional highlights

- Acoustic improvement: Depending on the material, panelling can help to improve room acoustics by absorbing sound.  

- Thermal insulation: Wood panelling can help to better insulate the walls.

4. Versatile styles and areas of application

- Classic: They create a timeless, elegant ambience in living rooms, libraries or dining rooms.  

- Rustic: In country houses or Scandinavian interiors, they emphasise a cosy atmosphere.  

- Modern: With minimalist designs or bold colours, they fit perfectly into contemporary interiors.  

5. Decorative design options

- Colour accents: The upper half of the wall can be painted in a contrasting colour, wallpapered or decorated with artwork.  

- Material mix: The combination of wood with tiles, plaster or wallpaper creates exciting contrasts.  

Tip: Half-height panelling is particularly popular in rooms where functionality and aesthetics need to be combined, such as in bathrooms, kitchens or hallways.
