A hot trend in the Indian market — CNC cutting designs or jali design — has taken homes and commercial spaces by storm. These fancy designs are versatile and can be used to make your home look ethnic or contemporary, depending on your tastes. 

What is it?

Intricate CNC jali design takes its inspiration from mashrabiya — an Arabic term for latticework windows in stone or wood that spread across India with the prevalence of  Islamic architecture under Mughal rulers. CNC cutting designs are mimicked on wood panels today to create hypnotic, mesmerising patterns.

Where can CNC design be used?

These beautiful and versatile laser cut wood panels are light and can be used on furniture, as room partitions or even on a wall. Back-lit laser-cut panels and false ceiling panels in CNC cutting design are currently in vogue.

What are the popular CNC cutting designs?

From traditional favourites like paisleys to contemporary geometric designs like a hexagonal lattice, CNC cutting makes it all possible. There is a great range of choices and plenty of scope for customisation in CNC cutting designs.

What about the price and material?

The CNC cutting design price can hugely vary according to the intricacy and complexity of the design chosen. Some are readily available on MDF design boards. As for the finish, for a contemporary appeal, you would find most CNC cutting designs painted white. But traditional wood polishes are available as well.

Here, we give you five fantastic ways to incorporate CNC cutting designs in your home:
