BOISERIE - Wood, Glass and Marble

The BOISERIE is a decoration technique that consists of covering the walls with panels of wood, glass, and other materials to enhance the natural features of the space and give it a strong sense of depth and personality. Although it has always been a popular design choice of traditional stately homes, today the boiserie has taken hold in environments that follow more contemporary styles.

Boiserie

The boiserie is used for three main reasons: the first is decorative, perhaps as a demonstration of a status, typical of a fine and sophisticated home. The second is to protect the walls, used in environments that require greater insulation, and the third is purely aesthetic, to give character to anonymous spaces or areas with very long or large walls.

The following materials can be used:


Wood

Options include Graphite Oak, Canaletto Walnut or Eucalyptus

Glass

Marble

Using large-format ceramic slabs

What door systems work within a boiserie wall?

The installation of a boiserie is often found to be the most appealing when it is combined with sliding or hinged doors that literally disappear in the repetition of the panels. Increasing or decreasing sequences of rectangular, square, horizontal or vertical lines creates an optical illusion that allows the observer to always be pleasantly surprised.

See below for door systems that can work seamlessly with a Boiserie aesthetic.
