This started out as a single additional wall but it got away from me a bit…
The ornate French panelling from World Adventures is perfect for grand, formal rooms, which are generally highly symmetrical. So why does the asymmetrical dual-panelled wall only come in one version (with a narrow panel on the left and a wider one on the right)?
I made a second version of the wall, with the panels swapped over (not a straightforward mirror image, since the trim at the top of the wall isn’t reversible). Then, while trying it out in a room, I noticed curly edges of panelling sticking out from under paintings and mirrors and spoiling the general effect. So the set grew to include versions with only one of the upper panels, to frame wall decorations, and with only the lower panels (single or double), to accommodate larger paintings or whole walls of ancestral portraits. All of the walls based on the dual-panelled original come in both left- and right-handed versions. There’s also one with just the cornice, skirting and chair rail, which is useful for walls around doors and large windows, or in case you want some ‘quieter’ areas of wall, without panelling.
Like the original walls, these have four recolourable channels and can be found under panelling in the catalogue. Those with both upper and lower panels cost §10, while the plainer ones are §8. There’s a single preset, which matches the existing EA walls.
