A correctly selected light panel is a relatively inexpensive, but at the same time creative way to transform a space. They are produced in various modifications, differing in color, size and set of functions. Before purchasing, it is better to familiarize yourself with the list of such. In this case, the composition will fit well into the interior without harming the family budget.
Wall compositions with lighting elements perform several functions. Firstly, they form a visual accent. If you place the porthole above the bed or on the wall, you can concentrate attention on a specific point. Secondly, of course, they light up the room. Due to the fact that the panel has touch control, you can easily adjust the parameters of its operation.
The following recommendations will help you choose decorative compositions that are beneficial for aesthetics and for your wallet:
- The Crystal glass coating must not show any signs of damage.
- It is possible to replace a single element without compromising the integrity of the entire composition.
- The power supply system is equipped with a fuse.
- Luminaires must be connected in parallel, not in series. In this case, the failure of one will not disrupt the operation of the entire system.
Review of light panels: New Year's decor
The fashion for various New Year's glowing compositions came to the countries of Eastern Europe a decade and a half ago. Yes, it used to be customary to decorate store windows for one of the biggest holidays of the year, but this could not be fully attributed to panels.
Today, large buildings and small apartments can be transformed before the New Year. Retail chains that offer options for every taste and wallet size help to do this. When going shopping, you need to think in advance what you want to see in the interior.
Depending on the answers received, you must choose one of the following options:
- Christmas wreath decorated with LEDs - you can place it on the wall or hang it on the window;
- Figured Christmas tree with lighting - thanks to a wide range of colors, electric decorative structures fit into any interior;
- Decorated glowing ball – due to its relatively small size, it can be used as a stylish visual accent.
Various types of touch panels
In order to make a light panel at home, you must first choose a creative concept. The option made of onyx is considered universal. It can be installed in any room, regardless of its functional purpose. Thanks to the many shades, the luminous elements will form the required pattern.
Depending on the chosen stylistic direction, you can create dynamic or static compositions at home. In second place in terms of frequency of occurrence is a panel made of duralight.
To make it yourself, you definitely need a sketch, on the basis of which a pattern is formed. It is necessary to choose a durable material, because a base – duralight – is attached on top of it.
After this, you need to bend everything within the framework of the prepared sketch. At the final stage, a connection to the electrical network occurs. Do not forget that massive wall compositions require an appropriate frame.
In addition to the above, there are several more options:
- Made on the basis of Himalayan salt, it has a limited area of use. You can meet him in a sauna or bathhouse. A significant disadvantage of the project is its high cost. The slabs alone will make the cost estimate literally astronomical for many. To make a composition, you need to create a pattern or image using salt slabs. The finished product is attached to the wall using a 2-component adhesive made on the basis of magnesite.
- Multicolor stained glass - designed for spacious rooms where the play of light and shadow creates unique pictures. Installed on the wall located on the window side. If we are talking about a hall in a store or building where there is a large crowd of people, then it is better to install the panel on the street side. The choice is made in favor of the sunny side.
- A budget option in all respects would be a panel made from LED strip. In addition, you can use a regular Christmas tree garland.
We create a touch panel with our own hands
Experience shows that it is not always possible to find a suitable option in the retail network. This is why many people decide to make an LED panel on their own. Beginners are advised to choose the simpler option. First you need to make a small sketch on a piece of paper. What are you planning to install? Is there a theme? Where will the composition be installed?
Accurate answers to these questions will help you avoid many problems in the future. After this, you need to find the basis. Its role will be played by a hoop or an option purchased at a specialized store.
The further procedure is as follows:
- Tie the found base with twine or fabric that is resistant to prolonged thermal exposure;
- In the apartment you can always find unnecessary things that will act as decorative parts;
- Apply vertical and horizontal decorative parts to the prepared form using a glue gun;
- Once all the parts are fixed, it is necessary to hang the composition with lighting;
- This is done carefully so as not to damage the smallest details of the composition.
Original light panel (video)
A creative illuminated panel will decorate the interior of a private house and city apartment. It’s easy to choose it in a themed store or make it yourself. If the second option is chosen, then you should start by making a sketch. The more accurately it is made, the easier it is to select the required amount of materials. During the manufacturing process, you should not be afraid of minor experiments. The main thing is not to overload such a finished product with decorative elements.
Examples of light panels (interior photos)
If you need a modern design solution in the stylistic design of any room, but are no longer interested in ordinary wall paintings, panels and other ordinary elements for decoration? Or do you want to give an original gift to your loved one and at the same time put a piece of your soul into it? I think you will need the ability to make an interior accessory with your own hands, which we will make in today’s homemade project, or to be more precise: a three-dimensional LED panel.
Of course, similar panels are on sale, but they will cost you a pretty penny, although this is far from the main factor: this homemade product will show a panel in the shape of a heart, and you can, using your imagination, display absolutely any design. Despite its visual effect, the accessory is not difficult to manufacture and does not require large financial investments.
To bring this “masterpiece” to life, we will need the following materials and tools:
Furniture stapler and staples;
- hot glue gun;
- hot glue sticks;
- LED strip;
- LEDs;
- resistors;
- picture frame (deep);
- mirror;
- heart (papier-mâché);
- foil;
- film (mirror);
- Styrofoam;
- tape (double-sided);
- window cleaner;
- rags;
- wires.
First, we will disassemble the frame we have and remove the base from cardboard with a paper sheet.
Shown here is a purchased picture frame (standard 50*50), you can also make a frame yourself (any size), I think with a little skill it won’t be too difficult.
There is glass installed in the frame, it must be thoroughly wiped using a detergent, and then a mirror film must be glued on (on the inside). Pasting should be done on a damp surface, being careful not to leave air bubbles.
Using a hot glue gun, we attach the LEDs along the contour of the heart (as shown in the photo). Next: using wires and resistors, we solder them into a common circuit.
Two small pieces of foam plastic need to be glued so that they extend beyond the edge of the heart, in this case the heart fixed in the inside of the panel will have a floating effect. After fixing the foam on top, you need to glue double tape onto it to conveniently position the heart in the panel and avoid unnecessary smears of hot-melt adhesive on the mirror surface.
Using foil, we will wrap the heart, but the installed LEDs should look out and place it in the center of the mirror.
Along the perimeter of the picture frame (from the inside), using a furniture stapler, we attach an LED strip. We work with the stapler carefully; under no circumstances should the tape be damaged. Solder the wires for power.

In the age of high technology, more and more people prefer cutting-edge designs using glass, plastic and metal. The matter concerns not only finishing or pieces of furniture; decorative elements can also be made from these materials, but they are often very expensive.
In this article we will tell you how to make an original glass panel on the wall of the kitchen or any other room in your home with your own hands, and you will see that there is nothing complicated or intricate in their manufacture.
It is believed that glass is a very fragile material, from which only windows and dishes are made. In fact, this is far from the case, and glass wall panels turn out to be very durable and, importantly, safe.
There are a lot of manufacturing options, but we will tell you about the three simplest methods that you will probably succeed in, even if you have never done such work before. So, let's look at each method in more detail.
Method one: oracal film
Oracal is a self-adhesive film that has high adhesion to any materials. By the way, kitchen aprons are made exactly in this way.
First of all, you choose a drawing or photo. You can find many options in hobby stores, and if you don’t like anything from their assortment, you can print a custom image on an oracal. The price of such a panel, of course, will be higher, but you will get a truly original image.
You can order a print on an oracal at any printing house or studio that deals with large-format photo printing. Their designers will independently stretch your image to the required size and transfer it to film.
It’s not difficult to stick an oracal on glass, but you need to know a few secrets that will help you do the job as efficiently as possible:
- Do not remove all the protective film at once. This needs to be done gradually. First, release one edge, glue it, and gradually removing the film, smooth out the pattern using a soft rag or a special felt squeegee.
- Carefully remove all air bubbles at the gluing stage., since it will be much more difficult to remove them later. If you see that a bubble has appeared, peel off the film slightly and expel it, after which you return the canvas to its place.
- If you can’t get rid of all the bubbles, just pierce them with a needle and smooth out the area with a squeegee.. There will be no trace of unevenness left.
- Do not use glass thinner than 4 millimeters. It will be too fragile and easily damaged, especially if you decide to make your own kitchen apron.
Important! To make the film lay more evenly, apply a little water to the glass before gluing. After gluing, it will dry and leave no marks, but it will greatly simplify the process of applying the film.
That's all, our glass photo panel for the wall is ready. As you can see, there is nothing complicated here, although before getting down to business, it is better to practice a little on small pieces.
Although, if you have at least once glued a protective film to the screen of your smartphone yourself, then you will definitely not have any problems with making such a panel.
Method two: triplex panels
Triplex is a three-layer glass that is used to make car windows. Its main advantages are strength and safety. When such glass breaks, it does not shatter into fragments, but is only covered with a network of small cracks.
This is achieved due to the fact that a special film is placed between two glasses, after which the entire structure is baked in a special oven at high temperature. As a result, all layers are sintered and the same triplex is obtained.
Of course, making it at home is unrealistic, but we are not talking about a full-fledged triplex, but about an imitation. The only thing we have in common is the number of layers.
The idea is to place your chosen drawing or photograph between two glasses. The manufacturing technology is extremely simple: we clean the glass from dirt, place the selected picture between them and glue the edges with a special colorless glue. That's it, the photo panel on the glass wall is ready.
Another interesting solution for home creativity is modular paintings made of triplex. The technology is the same, only the image is applied not to one glass, but to several segments of different sizes.
The result is a solid drawing consisting of several parts. By the way, later such panels can be illuminated using an LED strip, which is placed under the picture. This piece looks very stylish and interesting, and besides, it can serve as a night light or an additional source of light in the house.
Important! After you have cut the glass, be sure to carefully process its edges to avoid cuts. This is done using a special tool, which can be purchased at any hobby store.
Method three: imitation stained glass
A real stained glass window is a complex structure consisting of many multi-colored glasses of different sizes glued together. In the old days, they were made not out of whim, but because there was no technology that made it possible to blow glass of large sizes.
The artists collected one stained glass window for several years, but we are not ready to spend so much time on it, and modern technologies make it possible to produce such a reliable imitation that it is only possible to distinguish it from the original upon closer examination. Everything you need to make stained glass can also be purchased at a hobby store.
For production we will need:
- The glass itself. Again, it is better to take a thickness of at least 4 millimeters to make the product durable and safe.
- Colorless glue to draw boundaries between the multi-colored parts of our stained glass window. By the way, you can also choose gold or silver glue, then the stained glass window will look even more original.
- Stained glass paints for glass in different colors. The choice depends entirely on your wishes and the design you want to transfer.
- Stencil. You can buy it ready-made or make it yourself.
- Special pencil for drawing on glass.
First of all, the glass must be thoroughly cleaned, after which the image is transferred to its surface through a stencil. We remove the stencil, and the next step is to draw the borders with a special glue for stained glass work. The principle of its operation is that it creates almost invisible edges that prevent the paint from spreading and filling neighboring areas.
After this, the glue must be allowed to dry completely. The instructions on the package will tell you how long this will take. Now, you can fill limited areas with stained glass paints. That's all, the stained glass panel for the wall is ready, and if desired, you can also install lighting under it.
In the process of making stained glass, you may encounter some difficulties that we have not mentioned, so before starting work, we strongly recommend that you watch the video in this article, which shows a master class on creating stained glass.
Installation of panels on the wall
In fact, making panels on glass walls is much easier than hanging them, so we couldn’t leave this issue unattended.
First of all, you need to remember that glass paintings have a lot of weight, so you need to hang them very carefully and carefully. The second nuance is that glass does not tolerate curvature, so the surface of the wall must be perfectly smooth and even.
There are two ways to attach glass to the wall:
- With special glue. It is applied to the surface in thin strips, after which the panel must be pressed against the wall for several minutes. The disadvantage of this method is that it is impossible to place a backlight under such a picture, so you will have to glue the tape around the perimeter, or refuse to use it altogether.
- On the dowels. This method is not suitable for plasterboard structures, since the dowels simply will not hold in them. But, with the help of dowels, the panel can be hung at some distance from the wall, which will allow you to place an LED strip under the picture.
Whatever method you choose, the main thing is that the panel holds tightly, since, despite the fact that glass is a fairly strong material, it will almost certainly break if it falls from a height. Unfortunately, it is impossible to describe all the glass panels on the wall in one article, but even the options that we told you about will allow you to maximize your imagination and decorate your home with a truly original and stylish piece of decor.
