How to use panels in the living room

Decorating with panels in the living room is an easy way to enhance the feel of the room and create an environment where form and function interact. Whether you want a cozy feel with wood, a unique design with color or a sophisticated expression with stone, we offer exclusive solutions that enhance your square footage.

1. Stand out with a panel background wall

A feature wall is a classic trick for elevating a room without completely renovating. By using panels in the living room, you create a sense of depth and warmth and give the room a stylish expression. For example, a dark walnut panel gives an inviting feeling, while one in light limestone creates a sober and exclusive expression. Why not mix and match materials to create a unique and characteristic expression?

Tip:

Combine with spot lighting to highlight the material's structure.
Let the panel go all the way from floor to ceiling for maximum effect.
Add LED lighting under the panels to give the wall a floating effect.

2. Lift the living room with a panel in the ceiling

Panels aren’t just for walls. Let the acoustic panel continue up to the ceiling to create a more cohesive feel in the room. This approach works especially well in open-plan living rooms, where you might want to frame a specific area – like a sofa group or a reading chair. Feel free to combine the panel with spotlights or indirect lighting to make the wood come to life.

3. Frame the TV with a panel

The TV is often the focal point of the home and it is where we gather, both with friends and family. By placing acoustic panels around the TV, you get both a stylish look and a better sound experience – especially in larger, open-plan spaces. Our acoustic panels are available in several different types of wood and colors and can also be easily combined with hidden cable channels and lighting.

4. Let shelves and cabinets blend into the panel

Do something unexpected and unique, and let the panel in the living room interact with built-in shelves or wall-mounted cabinets. They become part of the wall and at the same time have an exclusive and minimalist expression. A smart way to create storage without compromising the overall impression.

How to succeed:

Use the same type of wood on both the panel and shelves.
Work with LED lighting for a warm, framing effect.

5. Play with color in your panel

Think beyond natural wood. The colorful panels in our Colour Collection give your living room a whole new look. Colored panels are especially effective in combination with high ceilings or large windows, where the colors can play against the light. Don't be afraid to use color, it gives your home a more personal expression.
