Decorative Slat Wall Panel Installation in Newcastle
Handyman MultiFix fitted slat wall panels inside a recessed wall area at a property in Newcastle. The customer wanted to turn the plain section into a modern feature that would add texture and visual interest to the room.
Before Installation
The recessed wall area had a plain finish before work started. Its narrow shape made it suitable for a vertical decorative feature without changing the existing layout of the room.

Customer Requirement
The customer wanted the panels to cover the recessed area and create a clean, consistent finish. The vertical slats needed careful positioning because even a small difference in alignment would remain visible across the completed wall.
Slat Wall Panels Newcastle – Work Completed
- Prepared the recessed wall area for installation
- Measured and positioned the decorative panels
- Cut the panels to fit the available space
- Applied adhesive to the back of the panels
- Positioned and secured the panels inside the recess
- Aligned the vertical slats and checked the finished edges
Installation in Progress
We applied adhesive to the back of each section before carefully lifting and positioning it against the wall. We then checked the alignment of the vertical slats as the installation progressed. This helped maintain consistent spacing and a neat appearance across the recessed area.
Completed Decorative Wall
The completed slat wall panels create a strong contrast against the surrounding light-coloured walls. The timber-effect vertical slats and dark backing add depth to an area that previously had a plain finish.

This project shows how decorative wall panels can turn an unused recess into a distinctive interior feature. Careful fitting is particularly important in a confined space because the panels must follow the available shape while maintaining straight and consistent vertical lines.
