The wall covering system of  claim 1 , wherein the first panel further comprises a second convex bead disposed on the first front side, a second concave slope disposed on the first front side between the first front face and the second convex bead, and a third shoulder disposed on the first front side. 
     
     
         5 . The wall covering system of  claim 1 , wherein the first panel further comprises a first bevel disposed on the first front side between the first front face and the convex arcuate shoulder, and wherein the second panel further comprises a second bevel disposed on the second front side between the second front face and the concave slope. 
     
     
         6 . The wall covering system of  claim 5 , wherein the first panel further comprises a third bevel disposed on the first front side between the first front face and a second concave slope disposed on the first front side, and wherein the second panel further comprises a fourth bevel disposed on the second front side between the second front face and a second convex arcuate shoulder disposed on the second back side. 
     
     
         7 . The wall covering system of  claim 1 , wherein the first panel further comprises a first convex channel shoulder and an opposing second convex channel shoulder formed on the concave arcuate channel. 
     
     
         8 . A wall covering system component comprising:
 a panel comprising a front side and a back side opposed to the front side, a front face disposed on the front side, a convex arcuate shoulder disposed on the back side, a concave arcuate channel formed in the back side, and a first shoulder formed in the back side, wherein the concave arcuate channel is disposed between the convex arcuate shoulder and the first shoulder, a convex bead disposed on the front side, a concave slope disposed on the front side between the front face and the convex bead, and a second shoulder disposed on the front side.   
     
     
         9 . The wall covering system of  claim 8 , wherein the panel further comprises a first mating surface disposed on the back side between the convex arcuate shoulder and the concave arcuate channel, and a second mating surface disposed on the front side between the concave slope and the convex bead. 
     
     
         10 . The wall covering system of  claim 8 , wherein the panel further comprises a first bevel disposed on the first front side between the front face and the convex arcuate shoulder, and a second bevel disposed on the front side between the front face and the concave slope. 
     
     
         11 . The wall covering system of  claim 8 , wherein the panel further comprises a first convex channel shoulder and an opposing second convex channel shoulder formed on the concave arcuate channel. 
     
     
         12 . A wall covering system comprising:
 a first panel comprising a first front side and a first back side opposed to the first front side, a first front face disposed on the first front side, a convex arcuate shoulder disposed on the first back side, a concave arcuate channel formed in the first back side, and a first shoulder formed in the first back side, wherein the concave arcuate channel is disposed between the convex arcuate shoulder and the first shoulder, a first convex channel shoulder and an opposing second convex channel shoulder formed on the concave arcuate channel, a first bevel disposed on the first front side between the first front face and the convex arcuate shoulder, a first mating surface disposed on the back side between the convex arcuate shoulder and the concave arcuate channel; and,   a second panel interlocking with the first panel, wherein the second panel comprises a second front side and a second back side opposed to the second front side, a second front face disposed on the second front side, a convex bead disposed on the second front side, a concave slope disposed on the second front side between the second front face and the convex bead, a second shoulder disposed on the second front side, a second bevel disposed on the second front side between the second front face and the concave slope, a second mating surface disposed on the second front side between the concave slope and the convex bead, wherein a portion of the first panel overlaps a portion of the second panel, wherein the concave arcuate channel is aligned with the convex arcuate bead, wherein at least a portion of the convex arcuate shoulder is disposed between the concave slope and the convex bead, and wherein the first mating surface is aligned with the second mating surface.
