The invention provides a wall panel system including a supporting structure; and a plurality of plates ( 3 ), each plate having a first pair of edges ( 6 ) for engaging with the support structure and a second pair of edges ( 9 ), each plate being shaped such that the second pair of edges ( 9 ) conceal the engagement of corresponding adjacent plates with the support structure. In one preferred embodiment the supporting structure includes a mounting board ( 1 ) including a plurality of retaining elements ( 2 ) adapted for engagement with the first pair of edges ( 6 ) of each plate. Preferably each retaining element ( 2 ) includes a supporting lip ( 5 ), wherein the support edge ( 6 ) of a plate is engagable with a supporting lip ( 5 ) of a retaining element. The retaining elements may, for example, be arranged in a rectangular or square grid on the mounting board ( 1 ).
