Types of Architectural Wall Panel Styles

Here at Patterson Whittaker, we can use our unique materials to create wall panels so light weight that they can be installed with as little as contractor’s glue, while still providing the durability that you need for commercial and residential properties. We are also able to create wall panels in any style or shape, without the need for a mold like many other products require.

Our process allows us to create wall panels in basically any style – and there are a lot of wall panel styles. Wall panels do not have specific names like many other types of products do, but we are able to create panels that include, and are not limited to:

  • Flat Panels

Flat panels offer a clean, uninterrupted surface that complements modern, minimalist designs. These panels present a smooth and sleek look that draws attention to the structure’s lines and contours. Commonly used in commercial buildings, offices, and contemporary spaces, they provides a refined, streamlined aesthetic with minimal visual distractions, making it ideal for modern architectural styles.

  • Textured Panels

Textured panels introduce subtle or pronounced surface patterns, such as ribbed, grooved, or grain-like textures, adding depth and visual interest. These styles can evoke natural textures or geometric patterns, creating a rich, tactile experience.

Suitable for accent walls, facades, and high-impact spaces where added texture can enhance the visual appeal, they create dimension and contrast, enhancing the sensory and visual impact of the panel.

  • 3D and Sculpted Panels

3D or sculpted panels add a layer of dimensionality with patterns or shapes that project outward from the wall. These designs range from geometric reliefs to organic wave-like patterns, offering a dramatic and eye-catching effect.

Often featured in hotel lobbies, reception areas, and upscale commercial spaces, they add bold, architectural interest and can serve as a focal point or create a unique sense of movement within a space.

  • Perforated Panels

Perforated panels feature patterns of cutouts or holes that allow for light and air to pass through. The patterns can be customized for aesthetic purposes or functional needs, such as creating privacy while maintaining a sense of openness. Commonly used in facades, screens, and exterior shading structures, these panels can give properties a semi-transparent quality, adding privacy and filtering light without blocking it completely, ideal for creating artistic patterns in exterior and interior applications.

  • Louvered Panels

Louvered panels consist of slats or angled designs that create a louvered effect, typically to provide shade or ventilation. The style balances aesthetics with functionality, offering a streamlined look that can control sunlight and airflow. Perfect for facades, rooftop enclosures, and privacy screens, they enhance both ventilation and visual appeal, providing a sense of depth and rhythm on the panel surface.

  • Patterned Panels

Patterned panels incorporate visually striking motifs or designs, such as repeated geometric shapes, organic forms, or even abstract art-inspired patterns. These panels bring an artistic element to architecture, adding character and style. Often used in statement walls, artistic facades, or unique commercial interiors, they add personality to a building or room, with endless customization options to reflect specific themes or branding.

  • Grooved and Ribbed Panels

Grooved or ribbed panels feature parallel lines or ridges that run across the surface. This style can range from subtle grooves to deep, bold ribs, offering a strong visual element without overwhelming the space. Common in modern commercial spaces, corridors, and exterior facades, they provide a sophisticated, linear texture that enhances the overall geometry and rhythm of the building design.

  • Embossed and Molded Panels

Embossed or molded panels use raised designs to create intricate details, replicating classic architectural motifs, floral patterns, or other artistic forms. This style can give walls a sculpted, refined look that’s ideal for more traditional or ornamental spaces.

They are suitable for historical restorations, luxury interiors, and areas where an intricate, decorative style is desired. Many find they add a high-end, classic appeal, bringing depth and detailing that enriches both traditional and eclectic architectural styles.

  • Geometric and Patterned 3D Panels

Geometric 3D panels add depth with three-dimensional shapes such as hexagons, diamonds, or abstract forms. These panels create a unique, faceted effect that enhances a space’s modern and contemporary appeal and are frequently found in avant-garde architecture, public spaces, and interiors looking to make a design statement.

These types of panels add a visual complexity and movement to surfaces, breaking up flat walls and creating a unique, modern architectural look.

  • Wave and Organic Panels

Wave or organic-patterned panels create fluid, flowing forms that mimic natural patterns such as waves or leaves. These styles are ideal for softening the lines in a room and adding a soothing, nature-inspired element. Commonly used in reception areas, relaxation spaces, and modern commercial interiors, they add a calming effect and visual interest, creating a sense of movement and fluidity within a space.

  • Angular and Faceted Panels

Angular and faceted panels use sharp, angled cuts or projections to create a bold, modern aesthetic. These panels play with light and shadow, producing a dramatic effect that emphasizes the architectural structure’s geometry. Often seen in contemporary buildings, art installations, and high-impact interior walls, they provide a dynamic, sculptural element that enhances depth, creating strong shadows and highlights that change with lighting.

Selecting the Right Wall Panel Style

Choosing the appropriate architectural wall panel style depends on the specific design goals, whether aiming to create subtle sophistication, artistic interest, or a bold, high-impact look. Each style contributes unique aesthetic qualities and functional benefits that can dramatically transform interior and exterior spaces.
