From simple to ambitious — 5 projects that can transform any room
1. The sofa accent wall — the classic
One of the most popular applications: a full-height panel wall behind the sofa in the living room. The vertical slats can frame the seating area, help reduce echo during movie and gaming nights, and are often the first thing guests notice when entering the room.
Color recommendation: Smoked Oak for a warm atmosphere, Light Oak for Scandinavian minimalism.
Why it works: The wall opposite the sofa (where the TV is usually placed) tends to reflect most sound back toward the seating area. By treating the wall behind the sofa, you can absorb these reflections directly.
2. The Black Oak TV wall — the statement piece
A wall-mounted TV on a Black Oak slat wall — this is the look that gets plenty of saves on Instagram and Pinterest. The dark tone can make the TV visually disappear when turned off, and in the evening an LED strip behind the panels can create a cinema-like atmosphere.
Color recommendation: Black Oak (a common choice for TV walls) or Smoked Oak for a warmer look.
Pro tip: Route HDMI cables behind the panels — the 2.1 cm depth is generally enough for standard cables. No more visible cable clutter.
3. The bedroom headboard — the coziest solution
4–5 panels directly behind the bed can replace an expensive upholstered headboard and transform the bedroom into a calm, boutique-hotel-like space. The panels typically run from mattress height to the ceiling — the visual impact can be dramatic, while the effort is minimal.
Color recommendation: Smoked Oak (a customer favorite for bedrooms) — warm, cozy, and flattering in evening light.
Bonus: The felt backing can absorb sound right at head level — rustling, turning over, and alarm sounds may feel less harsh. A noticeable improvement especially in rooms with hard floors.
4. The home office camera wall — the most efficient upgrade
A small project with often the biggest professional impact: 3–4 panels behind your desk — exactly the area your webcam captures. In video calls, it can look like a full design wall, even though you've only covered about 1.5 meters of width. Colleagues often notice the difference immediately — both visually and acoustically.
Color recommendation: Smoked Oak (professional, warm) or Black Oak (studio look for content creators). More: home office guide.
Why it has strong ROI: 48 € and 45 minutes for a professional video call background + improved microphone sound. Few home upgrades deliver such a strong return on investment.
5. The ceiling island above the dining table — the wow factor
The most ambitious project — and often the one with the strongest wow effect: a "floating island" of ceiling panels above the dining table. The wooden slats can define the dining area from above, help absorb sound exactly where conversations happen, and often become the focal point of the room.
Color recommendation: Light Oak (keeps the ceiling bright and open) or Smoked Oak (dramatic contrast to a white ceiling).
Important: Ceiling installation generally requires screws (adhesive alone is not enough) and ideally a second person. The 60×60 panels are light enough (around 1.5 kg) to be held with one hand.
