Install your acoustic panel with seven stylish tips from interior designers.
Interior design can be the most fun thing there is. When the feeling of the room fits perfectly, neatly, like a glove. But sometimes we get stuck and don't quite know how to get that perfect feeling. You know exactly what feeling we mean - 'my-living-room-in-a-decoration-magazine-feeling'.
So don't let the interior design press put a damper on your efforts. Professional interior designers face the same problems, albeit less often thanks to knowledge. So let's introduce some of that knowledge — the seven design principles that create spaces that are as pleasant to look at as they are to be in.
Tip 1 - Balance
Balance means creating visual harmony in a room through even distribution, which provides a pleasant equilibrium in your room. There are three types of balance in interior design:
Symmetrical balance
The traditional type that many people mean when they say "balance". When you divide a room in half and let one half be mirrored by the other. With your acoustic panel: Cover a wall from edge to edge in the room with acoustic panel or design panel.
Asymmetrical balance
Asymmetrical balance is of course the opposite of symmetrical. Here it is about breaking off the mirrored up-turn. To break off something and place it in the opposite direction.
With your acoustic panel: Make a smaller section with our panels. Preferably with wood that contrasts with the room.
Radial balance
Radial balance highlights a focal point in the room. Objects are placed around a central object, such as a dining table or chandelier. Also the kind of balance that creates focus.
Tip 2 - Harmony
Creating harmony is about creating uniformity among the things used in the space. There are two main ways to create harmonious spaces:
Colors, patterns or textures
Do you have furniture with a clear wood texture? Create harmony with a wall of acoustic panels with an oiled finish. Do you have a piece of furniture with a strong print? Choose something solid in a calmer color to balance. Dark details in your interior? Choose one of our darker woods, such as walnut or teak, which expands and harmonizes the impression of something that in its solitude becomes too strong.

The consistent style of our design panels is easy to mirror, and you almost get it for free with our acoustic panels. Identical wooden slats at even distances create balance for the eye.

Rhythm
The human brain loves logic and expected patterns. Rhythm creates repetition and contrast in a room, to make it interesting but pleasantly expected for the brain.
There are many ways to create rhythm, and a popular way is to alternate. Place something up next to something going down. A bit like a heartbeat.

Take, for example, a stove in your living room and our acoustic panel as two elements. By creating a rhythmic pattern between the stove and the organic wood, you get a room in harmony. And one with fantastic acoustics.
Tip 3 - The focal point
The focus principle emphasizes that every room needs a central element as a focal point. The other objects are there to emphasize it, so that the centerpiece remains the focus.

Our acoustic panel is a popular centerpiece in the form of an accent wall, headboard or TV wall. But it can also be a large piece of furniture like a sideboard, a piece of art, a fireplace or whatever you want to highlight in the room - where a panel can frame it for focus.
Tip 4 - Contrast
Contrast in interior design is created by combining two or more different visual elements. Creating contrast is often done with one or more of color, shape, and distance.
Create contrast in your living room with acoustic panels:
Dare to break away with a dark color - try our black lacquered design panel as a wall in a room that is all white, to create both contrast and a focal point in the room.

Form
An accent wall made of acoustic panels with rectangular wooden slats contrasts beautifully with a bed, for example.
Distance
You can fill an otherwise empty alcove with our acoustic panels, or build a partition wall of panels to create distance.
Tip 5 - Scale up or down
The size and dimension of objects in a room should have a proportional relationship, so that they do not look out of place. Large rooms with small furniture, or vice versa, rarely look good. If you are stuck with your disproportionate furniture, you can still make sure that they are complementary to each other - a small stool is placed next to a large armchair, for example - instead of just placing furniture of the same size next to each other.
Create scale in your living room with acoustic panels:
Work with the golden ratio, the pleasure of scale in numbers, when choosing how much of the room will support the acoustic panel. To best understand the golden ratio, see how it can be used together with our panels.

Tip 6 - Details, details, details!
When it comes to details, nothing is too small or too unimportant to pay attention to. Everything from embroidery to cabinet handles adds to your design, and takes good interior design to fantastic interior design. Are you afraid that it will feel plotty with too much detail? Add a little at a time and don't overthink it. If it feels right - it's right. When it comes to details, it's your taste and belief in what's beautiful that determines - Believe in what you like, and it'll work.
Create details in your living room with acoustic panels:
One detail we offer with our acoustic panels is LED lighting that easily attaches inside the slats. A quick and easy way to elevate an accent wall or headboard into something remarkable.
