Tongue and Groove Panelling: A timeless, stylish choice for any Irish home
If you want a wall design that’s warm, elegant and truly timeless, tongue and groove panelling (often called T&G panelling or V-groove panelling) is one of the best choices for Irish homes. With its smooth vertical lines, subtle grooves and classic cottage-style charm, it instantly adds depth and texture to any space.
At Wall Panelling Dublin, we install tongue & groove wall panels in hallways, stairs, bedrooms, bathrooms and living rooms across Dublin and a 100km radius. Whether you prefer modern V-groove panels or traditional T&G boards, this style is perfect for creating both cosy and contemporary interiors.
Why Tongue & Groove Panelling Is So Popular in Ireland
✔ Adds depth and texture
Unlike flat walls, tongue and groove wall panels introduce structure and style without overpowering a room.
✔ Works with every design style
From modern Scandi interiors to cottage-style hallways, T&G panelling adapts beautifully.
✔ Perfect for high-traffic areas
Hallways, stairs and kitchens benefit from the durability of tongue and groove cladding.
✔ Ideal for painting
T&G panelling looks stunning in whites, creams, greens, blues and deep feature colours.
✔ Affordable and long-lasting
Tongue and groove sheets offer a premium look without a premium cost.
Where T&G Panelling Works Best
Hallways
One of the most popular locations for tongue & groove wall panels. They protect the lower wall and add instant charm.
Staircases
Vertical lines make stairways appear taller and more elegant.
Bathrooms
Moisture-resistant MDF tongue and groove panelling is perfect for bathroom walls and half-wall panelling.
Bedrooms
Creates soft, calming textures — especially as a feature wall behind the bed.
Living Rooms
V-groove panelling is increasingly used for TV walls and full-height feature walls.
Kitchens & Utility Rooms
Durable, stylish and easy to clean.
Tongue and Groove vs. V-Groove – What’s the Difference?
While both are similar, there’s a subtle difference in style:
Tongue and Groove Panelling
Traditional interlocking joint with a deeper, rounded groove.
Ideal for cottage-style, farmhouse or traditional interiors.
V Groove Paneling
Each panel meets at a crisp V-shaped line.
Perfect for modern, contemporary or minimalist interiors.
We supply and fit both styles, depending on your home’s aesthetic.
