Wall Paneling designed, built and installed for Los Angeles — houses with strong architectural identities, on streets that are hard to deliver to. Our Los Angeles showroom is on South Spring Street downtown.
California panelling tends toward the quiet end — vertical battens, slatted timber, a shallow fluted profile — used to warm a room rather than to formalise it. It works especially well against the glazing these houses have, giving the eye something with texture opposite a wall of glass. Where the sun reaches it, the finish has to be specified for UV or it will not stay the colour it was approved as.
Seismic requirements mean tall cabinetry and heavy runs are anchored properly. That is straightforward when it is planned and awkward when it is not.
Los Angeles housing is stylistically specific in a way most markets are not. A Spanish Colonial in Hancock Park and a mid-century in Silver Lake want genuinely different cabinetry, and the fastest way to get a house wrong is to apply one language to both.
Hillside properties are an access problem. Narrow streets, long stair runs from the kerb and no staging area mean cabinets are sized to be carried by hand and delivered in sequence rather than all at once.
None of this changes by location. It is the standard every wall paneling leaves the shop to, Los Angeles included.
Panelling is the quietest thing we make and the one that changes a room most. It gives a wall proportion, hides the joins where a house is not square, and carries doors, storage and lighting inside a single continuous surface — but only if it is set out properly, because a panel grid that misses its openings is worse than a plain wall.
Panel joints are planned to land on door openings, corners and switch positions rather than wherever the module falls.
Jib doors, cupboards and services can disappear into the panelling so the wall reads as one surface.
Three different registers for three different rooms — the choice is made against the architecture, not against a trend.

We work throughout Los Angeles, including Hancock Park, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Brentwood and Venice. The housing here is Spanish Colonial and Craftsman houses, mid-century hillside homes, and a steady flow of contemporary rebuilds, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our Los Angeles showroom is at 506 S Spring St. Bring the plans, or send them over and we will itemise the cabinetry by room before you visit.
Every project is photographed room by room with the materials and the detailing listed, so you can see how a job like this is actually put together before you commit to one.

You can also search every finish we specify and every appliance we design around.
One shop draws, finishes and installs all of it, which is why the closet matches the kitchen and there is one number to call when something needs adjusting.
