Wall panels offer a diverse selection of fashionable styles that provide functionality and elegance to any home. While natural woods and stone effect panels offer a ready-to-go finish, many homes benefit from the versatility of paintable wall panels. In this blog, we’ll be taking a closer look at our premium quality Legacy Pre-Primed Paintable Panels range, and showcase the numerous benefits they can bring to your decor with minimal effort!
What is the Legacy Primed Collection?
The Legacy Primed Collection features a comprehensive selection of high quality MDF wall panels, including a variety of shapes and styles ranging from contemporary fluted and reeded styles, to classic vertical grooves. Beyond the stylish shapes offered by these panels, one of their main advantages is that they can be easily painted, meaning you can enjoy them as part of any interior design style. Each panel is available in both full and half height options, and pre-primed so you can remove the worry of finding a suitable primer, and instead focus on which colour best suits your unique style.

What are pre-primed wall panels?
When painting any surface, it's important that it’s primed before paint is applied. That said, finding the right primer can be tricky so we’ve removed this hurdle, priming your panels in a specialist white primer before they leave our factory. This essentially gives you a blank canvas from which you transform your walls, adding any colour with ease.
When painting your pre-primed wall panels, we recommend oil-based paints for MDF panels in high traffic areas, but you can use water based paints for panelling that won’t be as exposed to much wear-and-tear.
What styles of pre-primed wall panels are available?
At Naturewall, we’re proud to offer a fabulous selection of pre-primed MDF wall panels. Whether your home is traditional and modest, or vibrant and modern, there will be a pre-primed panel that suits your needs perfectly.
The products included in our Legacy Pre-Primed Paintable Panels range are:
Slatwall MDF Panels
Introduce a captivating finish to your walls with SlatWall MDF Panels. Offering the time-tested linear structure you know and love in a fully customisable product, SlatWall MDF Panels will enrich living spaces, hallways and even bathrooms. When paired with softer lines and materials, you can enjoy a sleek, refreshing look without the space feeling harsh and cold.
Tongue and Groove MDF Panels
The epitome of luxury for modern and contemporary spaces alike, tongue and groove MDF wall panels are perfect for many interior design themes. Available in V-groove and beaded styles, tongue and groove panels are best paired with rustic materials and antique accessories to maximise the classic feel, or with more contemporary touches to create a modern twist.
Fluted MDF Panels
Offering designers an elegant scalloped surface, fluted MDF panels provide a dramatic look with a concave curved profile that’s perfect for creating a feature backdrop. A more contemporary style of panel, fluted MDF panels are best styled with curvaceous statement furniture for those wanting a bolder look - especially with some graphic elements added into the mix.
Reeded MDF Panels
The ideal choice for chic minimalist spaces, reeded MDF panels feature clean convex lines that make a big impact. Perfect for a wide array of fashionable interior design styles, reeded MDF panels will look beautiful in any colour from dusky pink, to natural green and off white, introducing a hotel-luxe vibe to any home.
Reeded Fine MDF Panels
The narrow reeds of this panel create a gentle ribbed effect that provides a subtle, understated profile. Perfect for minimalist styles, fine reeded MDF panels synergise beautifully with organic textures and colours that match the airy feel of the smaller profile. They are ideal for relaxing bedroom spaces that need depth and gentle details.
Recycle & Save
When updating your home with our Legacy Paintable MDF panelling, there's no need to splurge on branded paint or head to your local DIY store for new tins. There are plenty of ways to save on paint while still achieving beautiful results.
At Naturewall, we're committed to being more conscious of our resources, especially when it comes to our in-house photography studio and paint usage for product shoots. Product photography typically uses a large amount of paint, but we've found ways to reduce our environmental impact and save money and you can too!
For our in-house Legacy MDF panelling shoot, we teamed up with a local paint recycling centre, @Seagulls (Leeds). Seagulls is an award-winning, nationally recognised social enterprise focused on recycling and reusing paint. Their mission is to divert paint from landfill, create jobs, and help improve lives in the community.
Here's how it works: You take your desired colour swatch to Seagulls, where their team checks and colour-matches it using recycled paint. Prices start at just £5 per litre - significantly more affordable than new, branded options. Alternatively you can choose from their wide selection of (almost new) donated branded emulsion colours.
We encourage you to adopt this approach for your own home renovation. Instead of buying new paint, start by checking what you already have in your shed or garage. Alternatively, visit your local paint recycling centre, like Seagulls, to select from their range of donated paint. Not only will you reduce your environmental impact, but you'll also save money in the process.
There are limitless style combinations you can enjoy with Legacy Pre-Primed Paintable MDF Panels. With the diverse selection of styles, and the freedom to apply any colour of paint, you can transform your home into a unique oasis of peace with minimal time.
