The construction in the field of interior design develops every year and along with that construction develops a new material that balances aesthetics and functionality. A building material that is coming to the forefront of interior design is the white Perspex sheet. The white Perspex sheet, white acrylic sheet, opaque white PMMA, or the white acrylic sheets are just different terms to explain the same kind of material. A white Perspex sheet is a grade acrylic sheet, has a white opaque appearance and a reflective high gloss finish. The sheet has new been utilized beyond just signage, and is being utilized in homes, mini markets, offices, hotels, boutiques, and restaurants.
What are the characteristics that make the sheets so attractive? The white surface offers light reflectibility which beautifies the interior of the room, and gives the room an airy, and modern look. Unlike painted surfaces, which, may easily peel and are not water resistant. These sheets have a finish that is not only aesthetically pleasant, but is easier to design to different sheet sizes and shapes. The Perspex White sheet is considerably lighter than glass, and is resistant to staining.

Wholesale POS has created a guide outlining the various ways that you can utilize white perspex sheets in your interior designs. This guide can be useful for any project you may be working on, big or small, and also for commercial projects.
1. Kitchen Splashbacks and Wall Panels
One of the best and most transformative uses of the white perspex sheets has to be the splashbacks in the kitchen. With a back wall in a kitchen, it can be a rough surface, something that you encounter with everyday ceramic or glass tiles used in a kitchen. A back wall with perspex white glass wall eliminates any of the pre-existing tiles with the lindo gaps, glass wall back splashes, and painted wall backs, and quick splash back with disposable paint. A white perspex glass wall will remove all of these issues.
It’s common for installers to directly bond sheets to the walls using either an industrial strength adhesive or mechanical fixings behind the cabinets. Sheets can be supplied in large single sizes (most common being 1220 x 2440 mm or even larger) which means visible seams can be minimized or eliminated. For added drama, many designers now incorporate subtle LED strip lighting behind or beneath wall cabinets which makes the white perspex sheet nice uplighting. The reflection is diffused which helps create an even backsplash area glow, especially favorable in open-plan kitchens where the cook area is part of the space.
In addition, white Perspex panels can be used as a modern, hygienic alternative to marble or quartz on floating breakfast bars, side returns, or appliance garages. The material’s non-porous surface makes it easy to keep clean which is important in busy family kitchens.
2. Chic Cladding for Bathroom Vanities, Shower Panels, and Wet Rooms
Bathrooms need materials that look good and can withstand moisture and strong scrubbing chemicals. A white acrylic vanity top and integrated basin surround provide the look of solid surfaces at a much lighter and cheaper price. With no natural stone to stain, the surfaces can also be wiped free of cosmetics, hair dye, and hard water. If there are tiny marks, the surfaces can be polished.
Use white full height Perspex panels for shower enclosures, and for a spa-like feel in wet rooms. The gloss surface improves water and soap scum drainage, while the smooth surface does not retain soap scum like textured tiles. White acrylic, shatter resistant panes, and a clean, frameless or semi-frameless shower screen provide a contemporary and safe choice.
Use entire panels of white Perspex to make a bold statement. A continuous surface enhances the boutique feel in hotel and spa bathrooms.
3. Floating Shelves, Display Niches, and Open Storage Solutions
The masterpiece acrylic material is art in itself. Cut into shelves and mounted to walls, the acrylic appears to float, especially with white walls. Scandinavian and Japandi designs appreciate this effect with its minimalist overall visual clutter.
Acrylic shelves with polished edges look and feel precious and can be mixed with black metal pieces and LED lighting to showcase the products below and conceal the shelf. Backlit LED lights are particularly nice to create a subtle glow to showcase the items below, and not the shelf.
In home offices, showrooms, and retail settings, mounting product display niches and display cases is also covered by the same looks. The white product display while the acrylic withstands repeated use and cleaning and with the acrylic material aesthetic.
4. Contemporary Room Dividers, Privacy Screens, and Partition Walls
People enjoy open floor plans, but many clients continue to want to carve out some functional spaces. Perspex white sheets are elegant compromises between solid walls and completely open spaces. White acrylic panels, either full ceiling height or partial, continue to let natural light flow while gently keeping sight lines out.
To add sophistication, double-sided polished sheets are often used, and some designers add sandblasted patterns for soft texturing while retaining the glow of the acrylic. Freestanding screens with slim stainless steel feet and ceiling panels held with tension cables are great for use in restaurants, hotel lobbies, co-working areas, and big living rooms.
When the White Perspex is backlit with LEDs, the sheets glow and the divider becomes an architectural piece.
5. Statement Ceilings and Light Cove Features
Ceilings are often ignored, yet while they are present in every room, they are more or less the most visible surface in any space. Using drop-in ceiling panels made of white acrylic, light coves, or even an entire false ceiling, creates a dramatic and bright effect. The acrylic’s reflectivity will bounce light down, lessening the need for additional fixtures and helping visually lift lower ceilings.
In white acrylic panels, plus RGBW concealed LED systems, light spas and restaurants can gain dynamic color and circadian lighting options. The acrylic’s weightlessness helps it be easily added to grid drop systems or direct fix.
6. Sliding Panels, Wardrobe Doors, and Bedroom Feature Walls
Inserting acrylic panels into wardrobe doors can be a big bonus. Full height panels, whether they are sliding or hinged, look very sleek and almost futuristic to contemporary. Plus, they reflect light into the room. Perspex, unlike mirrored doors which feel cold, softens the effect and looks well coordinated with neutral or pastel bedding and furniture.
To make a bigger statement in your bedroom, think about going with an entire accent wall covered in white acrylic panels. The panels have a seamless surface that can conceal details and create a monolithic canvas that lets colorful art, bedding, and headboards pop.
7. Retail and Commercial Fixtures: Branding Elements, Counters, and Display Cases
This article has focused on residential spaces, but the same ideas apply to commercial spaces. White Perspex counters, display menu holders, risers, and branded wall panels show a sense of modernity, cleanliness, and attention to detail, which are the qualities most retailers want to have.
At Wholesale POS, we often provide white Perspex sheets for these purposes: illuminated display boxes, custom point-of-sale counters, decorative fascia panels, and product shelving systems. Because the material can be easily fabricated and has a uniform color, it is ideal for situations where several locations need to have the same branded elements.
9. Original Upcycling Projects
If you like hands on projects, a perspex white sheet provides lots of opportunities to get creative. You can upcycle an old sideboard that has wooden doors by using white acrylic panels for the new doors. Using thick white Perspex for the surface, you can even construct a floating coffee table. Other projects include picture ledges and floating frames. If you have access to cut your own acrylic, you can design your own picture frames, logos, decorative house numbers, and other unique items to add your own touch!
