1. Clean the Tiles: Make sure the tiles are clean and free of grease or dust.
2. Smooth the Surface: If the tiles have grout lines or rough textures, consider sanding them down or applying a primer to help the panels adhere better.

The height of your wall panelling depends on the look you’re going for. Typically, wall panelling is installed between one-third and two-thirds of the wall’s height.

Wall panelling on stairs adds elegance and can make your staircase a feature of the room. To panel on stairs:

1. Measure the Wall: Start by measuring the height and width of the wall on each side of the stairs.
2. Cut Panels to Fit: You may need to cut the panels to fit the angled surfaces of the stairwell. A mitre saw can help with angled cuts.

4. Finishing Touches: Use trim or moulding around the edges to give a clean, finished look.
