How to Choose an Acoustic Wall Panel Colour
Panel colour changes with daylight, warm lamps, surrounding paint and the scale of the wall. A finish that looks pale online may feel warmer in an evening room, while a dark panel can become the strongest feature in a bright interior. Order samples where possible and compare them in the actual space before committing to a full wall.
White Oak / Premium Oak
White Oak is the lightest of the five core wood looks. It works well with white, soft grey and natural interiors where the aim is to add texture without making the wall feel heavy. It is often chosen for Scandinavian-inspired rooms, bright living spaces and bedrooms.
Walnut / Light Oak
Walnut is also described on parts of the range as Light Oak. It introduces a warmer mid-tone wood appearance and pairs easily with neutral upholstery, green accents and warmer lighting. It is a flexible choice where customers want visible wood grain without the depth of Dark Oak.
Grey / Ash Grey
Grey, also known as Ash Grey, creates a cooler contemporary finish. It can coordinate with concrete effects, monochrome furniture and silver or black details. Check the sample against the room paint because two greys with different undertones can look noticeably different beside each other.
Dark Oak / Smoke Oak
Dark Oak, also known as Smoke Oak, gives the wall a deeper and more dramatic wood tone. It is particularly effective for media walls, dining areas and commercial interiors where stronger contrast is welcome. Good lighting helps the grain remain visible.
Black Oak / Charcoal Black
Black Oak, also known as Charcoal Black, provides the boldest finish. It can frame a television, fireplace or display area and pairs naturally with warm LED strips. In smaller or darker rooms, compare a sample at different times of day before covering a large area.
Compare colours in the room
Place samples vertically against the intended wall and view them from the main seating or entrance position. Compare daylight, ceiling lights and evening lamps. Check the finish beside flooring, doors, furniture and metal details. Phone screens and edited product photography cannot reproduce every lighting condition accurately.
Colour checklist
- Order samples of the closest two or three finishes.
- Check the finish in daylight and evening light.
- Compare it with flooring, paint and furniture.
- Consider whether the wall should blend in or become the focal point.
- Confirm the product name and its alternative colour name before ordering.
