‘Innovative design’ can mean a lot of things in today’s day and age. It can mean over-engineering a car to the point that you need a degree in computer science just to change the oil. It can also mean allowing your 4-year-old to take a paintbrush to your living room walls, because that’s ‘real art’.
While we’re not exactly fans of either, there are genuinely innovative ways to enhance your interior design. Plasterboard, a cost-effective, versatile and durable material, is by far the best way to achieve this.
In this post, the gurus at Plaster Wholesalers, Melbourne’s leaders in the plasterboard industry, explain 5 innovative ways to use plasterboard in enhancing your home’s interior design.
Textured walls
One of the most striking ways that plasterboard can improve interior design lies in textured walls. Plasterboard is a highly customisable material and can be modified to produce visual effects, depth and character.
Texture techniques like stucco and 3D panelling are simple ways to make your plasterboard look interesting and unique, elevating your interior design.
Curved walls and ceilings
Curved walls and ceilings look fantastic through modified plasterboard, allowing you to achieve art-deco-style architecture without the expensive brick and structural work.
Recessed lighting
Plasterboard facilitates unique lighting techniques too – one of the most common being recessed lighting. This is when you install the lighting behind the plasterboard, giving a crisp, flush finish.While recessed lighting is quite mainstream for downlights, there are endless options for unique recessed lighting – just check out Google images to pinch a few ideas.
Improved acoustics
Enhancing interior design isn’t just about looks; it’s also about functionality. Your choice of plasterboard can drastically improve your acoustics – just look for a high-quality soundproofing plasterboard at Plaster Wholesalers.

Improved functionality
Want your plasterboard to provide a function, rather than just cover the bones and insulation of your home? Custom plaster work can include built-in shelves, hidden storage compartments, or attic spaces – anything is possible with plasterboard!
