Top Trends in Plywood Wall Panels for Architects and Designers

When designing modern interiors, plywood wall panels are an ideal way to bring your residential or commercial spaces to life. Offering an endless array of colours, textures and patterns, and a unique ability to transform into various shapes and styles, architects and designers across Australia are turning to plywood wall panels to give their projects the edge that sets them apart from the rest.

So if you have an idea for a feature wall, how do you find your panel of choice? In this article, we’ll share some of the top trends in plywood wall panels for architects and designers to inspire creativity and demonstrate what is possible with ply.

Stylish and colourful plywood wall panels

One thing you can be sure of when plywood wall panels and interiors combine is that the result will be something special. We’ve seen this proved time and again in projects across residential, educational, and commercial interiors, especially where there is a splash of colour or a vivid image involved.

A show-stopping recent example can be seen in the Jacana School for Autism where the striking oversized image of a platypus adorns the foyer to stunning effect, made possible by our fully customisable Maxi Print wall panels. Other Maxiply products that allow you to add your choice of colour include Maxi Film and Maxi Panel, which both feature heavily alongside Maxi Print in the vibrant, award-winning St Joseph’s Primary School Learning Centre.

Decorative plywood wall panels add flair

When adding a feature element or dramatic centrepiece to your interior, the natural beauty and versatility of plywood allow you to create some truly unique and memorable feature walls. Some of the specialised decorative plywood panels within our range include Maxi Edge, which showcases the distinctive edge grain and Maxi Deco where the smooth lines of the scalloped profile create a soft undertone to interiors, as seen in the cutting-edge Mirvac Workplace in Southbank. 

However, with some creative vision and the help of our Maxiply plywood expert manufacturing team, you can achieve truly amazing things with our everyday wall panels, including the popular all-rounder Maxi Panel. With its ability to curve and be shaped to suit almost any wall application, it was the ideal choice for the architects behind the incredible feature walls within the Northern Bay College multipurpose building. The spectacular multi-layered walls are an impressive example of what is possible when innovative design and premium plywood panels for interior walls combine.

Transform your space with plywood panels

While we love the idea of a show-stopping feature wall as a centrepiece, the use of plywood panels on walls in a more subtle way can also achieve equally impressive results. Whether you opt for simple, natural tones to create an instantly ambient and calm environment, as seen in the widespread use of Maxi Panel throughout the Burrinja Cultural Centre, or choose to add a subtle contrast like the Maxi Edge feature wall in the gorgeous CLT House, the possibilities are immense, and we are always excited to see the new and creative ways designers and architects envision to showcase our plywood wall panels.
