How to choose an acoustic wall panel colour

A panel finish should work with the whole room, not just a product photograph. Consider the flooring, largest furniture pieces, wall paint and lighting before narrowing your choice.

Compare wood tones

Oak-named finishes include several different tones across the ranges. Light Oak, Dark Oak, Smoked Oak and Washed Oak are separate finish names, so do not assume they match an existing oak floor or furniture item. Walnut finishes offer another wood-tone option across thin slat, wide slat, Premium and tile formats.

Choose contrast or coordination

A contrasting feature wall can stand out from surrounding paint and furniture. A closer colour match can make the panelled surface feel more integrated. Black finishes suit a darker palette; compare the slat profile and surface texture as well as the colour name.

Consider a velour surface

The velour range includes Black, Cream, Blue, Grey, Dark Grey and Green. Its curved slats and textile surface create a different appearance from a wood-look slat panel. Consider how that texture relates to upholstery and curtains.

Check colour in your own lighting

Daylight and warm or cool artificial lighting can change how a finish appears. Screen settings and photography also affect perceived colour. Ask our team about available finish references or sample options before placing a larger order; availability should be confirmed rather than assumed.

Check the format before committing

Once you have chosen a colour, check that it comes in the required height and format. Not every finish is offered in 3m panels, tiles or matching trims. Measure the wall, plan the slat direction and compare pack coverage before ordering.
