5 decorative projects where MDF based décors truly stand out
Interior design experts and industry professionals are constantly on the lookout for the latest trends in decorative renovation projections. Finding the correct material for the right home can be a challenging task. Luckily, Medium Density Fibreboard is an extremely versatile, sustainable, and easy to use material that provides a selection of decorative applications for a wide range of home furnishings.
In a previous article, we spoke at length about the various benefits when using MDF for cabinets. Today, however, we’ll consider a broader focus on this exceptional wood-based product and discover the applications where it truly stands out.
Shelving and cabinetry for the kitchen

It has been said many times but we’ll say it again. The Kitchen is the most important room in your home. Designing and creating a functional yet sophisticated kitchen space doesn’t have to be an arduous affair. Especially when utilising MDF for both shelving and cabinetry.
Because of the various decorative designs that can be applied to MDF, it has the ability to add form and style in a contemporary fashion. From modular stackable box shelves to bespoke cabinetry, MDF provides a core for a creative display for storage solutions while showcasing a stunning wood-like veneer.
Creative options for storage solutions

With a versatile and solid structure, MDF based shelving and cabinetry can add both form and function to messy walk-in closets or bedrooms. MDF works particularly well when used as moulding along the walls of closets or storage compartments, providing additional room for accessories and making the most out of confined spaces.
This is especially true in high traffic areas such as kitchens where space is limited and storage is vital. Using MDF for built-in shelving provides a durable and long-lasting solution to this problem. This is due to MDF’s ability to withstand changes in both temperature and humidity.
Statement wall décor

Because of its superb build quality, MDF can be cut to almost any shape and size adding stylistic expressions to your home interior. From hexagonal patterns and matching shelving to smooth rounded patterns, MDF allows interior design experts to add character into any given space. Selected decorative prints may also be applied to MDF, giving the surface much-needed colour and ambience.
Sonae Arauco’s Innovus Decorative Products allows customers the option to choose from a wide range of décors that match the look and feel of modern living. From bold Unicolours that define clinical and ordered spaces, the industrial appeal of tight urban designs, and Woodgrain patterns that embody the look of real wood, you are spoiled for choice.
What’s more, each select décor is embalmed with a sophisticated finish that completes and defines the texture of each decorative category.
Multifunctional applications for limited space

We’ve briefly mentioned the storage and space-saving solutions of MDF. This is because one of the primary concerns for any interior designer is to utilise as much space as possible while sticking to a budget.
In this regard, MDF truly delivers. As a solid-wood alternative, this exceptional material provides inexpensive yet contemporary solutions to modern living. Take for example the benefits of installing a floating desk. Not only do they add an impressive style to small offices but they’re designed to maximise space as efficiently as possible since MDF is both lean and light in weight.
Display stands

Speaking of lightweight applications, MDF can be used for display stands of any design in commercial settings. Keep your confectionary delights and goods organised and looking professional with custom-designed display towers in a décor of your choice.
As we’ve said before, MDF is a lean and easy to cut material perfect for delicate designs and bespoke displays.
