Need alternative for HPL wall cladding
7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago
Below is my elevation design, we want a wooden tile that would look just like HPL cladding as HPL costs 4 times than tiles.
Can anyone suggest a tile , color/shade of tile that we should choose. It should look like cladding.

No, i just heard it from you just now.
I just want the wood look, wherever we see the houses that we like HPL cladding is used but as those are very expensive so we thought we would use Tiles that looks as close to HPL but we are very confused that what shade color to choose. We want this kind of look. can you suggest any tile shade brand to choose?

Comments (18)Pawan, I am glad to see your home coming out in a great shape - kudos to your designer. Coming to your original question, I don't find it over the top , it is barely visible from the front angle and the great tree is definitely helping you there...Still if you want to minimize the earthen impact of terracotta red see the image you may want to add a few rafters as shown in the pic below ( wooden or metal..) I would recommend you to stick to grey, black and whites as a central theme. The red on the railing can cede ground to white. Climber Vines on the terracotta would add to the tree and your home.. I would recommend you to hide the ugly cabling if you can do something about it :) Thanks Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore....See Morewant some solution for ceiling
Comments (3)Place the cabinet against a different wall and not beneath that beam? There's no need for a false ceiling, instead you could do a simple cornice to soften and enliven the hard line where walls meet ceiling. You could apply the same cornice to the short, hard line where the lower side of the beam meets either wall. Keep it simple. You could even apply cornice ONLY to where the lower edge of the beam meets the walls. It softens the heavy horizontal impression, allowing it to pretend to be a very slight arch. If you're going to repaint, consider using slightly different shades for wall and ceiling. An alternate to the cornice is a shallow horizontal ledge to hold LED cove uplighting along all the walls, at the same height as the lower edge of the beam. If you do this in wood, clad the lower surface of the beam to make a feature of it and to match the cove lighting ledges. Keep the design simple. If you do none of these things, explore Houzz for pleasing and simple lighting solutions to brighten up the room. Just a few ideas......See MoreNeed help with elevation wall cladding
Comments (18)Wouldn't ceramic tiles wood finish, laid in planks of 6" x 24" solve the problem? Not my go-to choice though. Another option would be to use texture paint (with larger granules) in a deep chocolate colour...See MoreMirror alternatives for a reflective surface?
Comments (12)Hey Harsha, yeah the bevelled mirrors look gorgeous, and blow the budget of a room on that. haha! You could also opt for back painted glass, or tinted mirrors, that way you'll add some flair of a reflective surface, but you won't need to spend too much on making the mirrors themsleves a quirky characteristic!...See More- PRO7 years ago
