Shaker Panelling: The Timeless Wall Panelling Trend Transforming Irish Homes
If you’re looking for a clean, modern and elegant way to elevate your interior, shaker panelling is one of the most popular choices in Ireland right now. Simple, symmetrical, and beautifully versatile, shaker wall panels add instant character to any hallway, bedroom, stairs, living room or feature wall.
At Wall Panelling Dublin, we install hundreds of metres of shaker-style panelling every year — from classic half-wall shaker wainscoting to full wall shaker cladding. Whether you prefer a traditional or modern interior, this style blends effortlessly with every home.
What Is Shaker Panelling?
Shaker panelling is a style defined by clean, rectangular frames created using MDF battens. Unlike ornate wall designs, shaker-style wall panels are minimal, elegant, and symmetrical — making them ideal for contemporary Irish homes.
This style is commonly used for:
Hallways & stairs (shaker panelling hallway + shaker wall panels stairs)
Bedrooms (shaker panelling bedroom, shaker wall panels bedroom)
Living rooms & feature walls
Bathrooms (moisture-resistant shaker-style wainscoting bathroom)
Half wall panelling (shaker half wall panelling)
Full wall panel systems
Because shaker panelling is based on simple geometric lines, it’s incredibly flexible and suits both modern and classic interiors.
