Dining room wall panels

Hear every word around the table

Dining rooms are full of hard surfaces: the table, the floor, the windows, the plates. When the room fills with people, the sound bounces and everyone starts talking louder. Every Akupanel has wood slats on an acoustic felt backing with Class A sound absorption. It absorbs that noise, so you can host dinner and hear the person across the table without raising your voice.

Dining area accent wall ideas

Choose the wall the table faces or the one beside it. A full wall of panels behind a bench or sideboard frames the dining area and gives it its own identity. In an open-plan home, a panel wall marks out the dining area from the kitchen and the living room. Natural oak goes with wooden tables and chairs. Dark or colored tones create an intimate, evening atmosphere. See the dining rooms above for inspiration.

Light and style above the table

Lighting changes a dining room more than anything else. Soft Lumi LED light behind the panels gives the wall a warm glow for long dinners, while your pendant lamp lights the table. Add a slim shelf on the panel wall for glasses, plants or a few favorite pieces.

A wall that handles dinner parties

A dining wall sees chair backs, spills and children’s fingers. Our wood-like Akupanels have a surface you can wipe clean with a damp cloth, and they keep their color in a bright dining room. Natural wood Akupanels need only a soft brush or a well-wrung cloth.

Up in an afternoon

Most dining room walls take a few hours. Cut the panels to length, screw them straight into the wall and let the overlapping felt edges hide the joints. No special tools, no dust-filled week.
