Why choose decorative wood panels for your walls and ceilings?
Decorative wood panels do more than cover a wall. They shape how a room looks, sounds and is experienced every day.
From plain walls to refined feature surfaces
Instead of a flat, empty wall, you get a textured surface with depth and rhythm. The vertical slats and warm wood tones create a calm, Scandinavian expression that works with many interior styles – from minimal and monochrome to cosy and eclectic.
Use a single wall as a statement piece, or wrap an entire room to create a cohesive, architectural feel. The panels become a canvas for your imagination: behind a TV, along a hallway, around a reception desk, or as a headboard backdrop in the bedroom.
Better acoustics, more calm
Good acoustics are just as important as good lighting. Our decorative wood panels are designed not only to look beautiful, but also to absorb unwanted noise and reduce echo. Think of the acoustic felt behind the slats like a soft sponge that soaks up a large part of the sound that hits it.
You will notice:
- Less echo in open-plan rooms
- Clearer conversations around the dining table
- A calmer atmosphere in offices and meeting rooms
- More focus and comfort in home cinemas and gaming rooms
Spending time in a room with harsh acoustics can be tiring. By softening the sound, you create a space where you can relax, think and enjoy being together.

Hear the difference
Performance you can feel every day
Behind the clean design, our decorative wood panels deliver measurable acoustic performance.
Sound absorption for everyday well-being
The combination of slats and felt helps break up and absorb sound waves. Installed correctly, the panels can significantly reduce echo and background noise, especially in hard-surfaced rooms with concrete, glass or tiles.
In practice, this means:
- In living rooms, you enjoy movie nights and music with less harshness
- In dining areas, you can talk comfortably without raising your voice
- In home offices, you gain more focus during calls and deep work
- In commercial spaces, guests experience a calmer, more premium atmosphere
Good acoustics are not a luxury. They support concentration, relaxation and social connection. Our decorative wood panels help you achieve that balance without compromising on design.
Bye bye, bad acoustics
With mineral wool the panels elevate to sound class A, blending unbeatable sound control with sleek design. That’s the highest possible rating a product can achieve within acoustic sound absorbtion.

Felt consists of 50% recycled plastic
This acoustic felt enhances both aesthetics and sound environment, designed to absorb sound waves and dampen noise, creating a more comfortable and serene atmosphere at home. It’s available in black and grey.
Surface
Our surfaces are selected based on the principles of Scandinavian Design philosophy. All materials are of the highest quality. Offering a wide range of colors, the surface provides numerous aesthetic possibilities, allowing you to personalize your living and working space to reflect your unique style.
Design features of WoodUpp decorative wood panels
Every detail of our decorative wood panels is carefully considered, from materials to proportions. Here is how the design works for you.
Real wood veneer for natural warmth
Feature: Each slat is wrapped in real wood veneer in a range of refined finishes – from light oak to deeper, tone-on-tone colours.
Benefit: You get the depth, warmth and natural variation of real wood, not a flat printed surface. The grain catches the light softly and brings a sense of calm into the room, whether you prefer a bright Nordic look or a darker, more dramatic mood.
Scandinavian minimal lines
Feature: Slim, evenly spaced slats create a clean, linear pattern inspired by Scandinavian architecture.
Benefit: The design feels modern yet timeless. It works just as well in a small apartment as in a large commercial space, adding structure without overwhelming the room. The vertical lines can even make low ceilings feel higher and narrow rooms feel more balanced.
Acoustic felt made from recycled materials
Feature: The slats are mounted on a backing of acoustic felt, made in part from recycled plastic.
Benefit: You get improved acoustics and a more responsible material choice in one solution. The felt absorbs sound and reduces reverberation, helping you create a quieter, more comfortable environment.
Flexible colour and style options
Feature: Our decorative wood panels come in a curated palette of colours and finishes.
Benefit: You can match your existing interior or use the panels to set a new direction. Choose a soft, tone-on-tone finish that blends in with your walls, or a contrasting wood tone that turns the panelled wall into a striking feature.

Simple tools, clear steps

How to choose the right decorative wood panels for your project
When you plan your panelled wall or ceiling, consider these points:
1. Define the main purpose
- If your focus is aesthetics, choose the wood tone and pattern that best complement your furniture, flooring and lighting.
- If your focus is acoustics, think about how much echo you want to reduce and where people will sit, talk or work.
- Often, the best solution balances both: a beautiful feature wall that also calms the sound.
2. Choose your colour and finish
- Light finishes create an airy, classic Scandinavian feel.
- Darker tones add drama and intimacy, perfect for lounges, bedrooms or cinemas.
- Tone-on-tone combinations blend softly with your existing wall colour for a subtle, refined effect.
3. Decide on coverage
- One wall can be enough to change the entire character of a room.
- Wrapping two adjacent walls or a wall and ceiling creates a more immersive, architectural look.
- In noisy spaces, more coverage usually means better acoustic comfort.
4. Plan installation details
- Check the condition of your existing wall or ceiling.
- Consider where you need cut-outs for sockets, switches or lighting.
- Think about edge finishes around doors, windows and corners for a clean result.
