Interior Wall Cladding Ideas - Style Up Your Home

Dull and repetitious walls are a thing of the past. Modern homeowners prefer individualised wall decor that gives the room personality. Interior and exterior wall cladding tiles are a popular option because of their rustic beauty as statement walls become fashionable. Cladding is defined as a material intended to be applied decoratively to a wall, functioning as a sort of "second skin." There can be many materials used, but the most trending one in Australian market is natural stones.

We've put together a list of stylish wall-cladding suggestions that will liven up your plain walls. Let’s first, however, understand a little bit more about natural stone wall cladding.

What Is Stone Wall Cladding?

Stone cladding is the application of a thin or polished coating of natural or artificial stone to an interior or external wall to create the illusion that the wall is composed completely of stone. If you want a finish that is more genuine, rustic, and long-lasting, go for natural stone.

Stone veneer panels were formerly utilised in Rome next to the coliseum's external framework; stone cladding itself is said to have originated in the late 19th century. From this, cladding has evolved significantly throughout time and continues to get better. Stone is only one of the numerous materials used for cladding, but you might be curious about the definition and function of cladding itself.

Different Types of Stone Cladding Ideas

Pattern-wise

Get Playful with Freestyle Walling

Why stick to the traditional stacked or ledge stone walling when you can be random and fun? Freestyle walling, as the name suggests, has randomly shaped stones put together. The haphazard arrangement of the walling stones adds an interesting character to your interior space. The freestyle walling can be used in your living room as a statement wall, in your bedroom as a playful element, or in a theme for kids' room. The variety of colours and stones in freestyle will leave you surprised!

Go for Traditional stone walling

When it comes to interior stone wall cladding designs, Traditional stone walls are superior options. Smaller flats are ideal for using traditional-cladding tiles to add visual interest to the wall behind the TV unit. The addition of colour and texture from the cladding tiles guarantees that the wall design requires little to no décor. Previously, Traditional walling came in brick walling. Modern times have seen them evolve to different types of stones for the traditional arrangement.

Choose neatly Stacked Stones

Stacked stone walling is the walling arrangement that highlights the horizontal joints more than the vertical joints. The Stacked cladding resembles the traditional brick cladding. However, the stones need not be uniform or have the same size. The cladding stones can have different sizes but will be stacked together. That's where the walling gets its name from. Stacked stones are considered among the best options for interior wall cladding.

Create a countryside feel with Dry Stone walling

Dry Stone Walling was traditionally used as boundary walls or outer walls of houses to mark the premises. The reason they were called dry stones was stones placed atop each other without cement or mortar binding them together. The way they were placed helped to hold the structure in position. Eventually, homeowners started using dry stone walling for interiors as well. Dry stone added a rustic look to the home interior besides adding strength to the existing structure.
