Stilj™ Wood Slats for Sound and Style

Modern interiors are defined by clean lines, tactile surfaces, and materials that serve more than one purpose. Stilj™ wood slats represent a new era in wall paneling — one where texture, acoustic comfort, and sustainable design come together in a single elegant system.

By combining timber slats with acoustic performance, Stilj™ acoustic slat panels go far beyond traditional cladding. They offer a refined remedy for those looking to make a visual impact while upgrading how a room sounds and feels.

Why Wall Paneling Is Making a Comeback

Far from the dated wood panelling of the past, today’s slatted timber panels are about texture, rhythm, and acoustic control. With vertical lines that draw the eye and a natural palette that calms the senses, Stilj™ acoustic panels work beautifully in both residential and commercial interiors.

More than just decorative, these panels reduce noise, define space, and bring warmth to any wall — creating an immersive, sensory environment.

Transforming Walls With Stilj™

Here’s how you can use Stilj™ wood slats to redefine wall surfaces across different types of spaces:

Living and Lounge Areas

Install a timber slat interior wall to frame your sofa or entertainment unit. This adds texture, reduces echo, and uplifts the overall ambiance of your main living area.

 

Kitchens and Dining Rooms

Break up tile and cabinetry with batten panels or feature wall treatments using acoustic wood slats. These help manage noise and make gatherings feel more intimate.

Offices and Studios

Use acoustic slat panels in home workspaces or studios to bring visual calm and reduce sound reflection — especially in minimalist, hard-surfaced environments.

DIY Upgrades

Transform hallways, entryways, or small nooks with a DIY acoustic slat wall. Lightweight and easy to install, they provide an instant visual and acoustic upgrade.

Key Design Considerations for Theater Acoustics

When optimizing theater acoustics, designers and engineers must consider several critical elements, from speaker placement to wall and ceiling treatments.

Speaker Placement

The placement of speakers plays a critical role in how sound is distributed throughout the theater. Careful positioning ensures that sound reaches all audience members evenly, avoiding areas of excessive loudness or inadequate coverage. Additionally, advanced speaker technologies, such as line arrays and digital signal processing, can further optimize sound delivery and tailor the audio experience to the specific theater space.

Seating Layout

Seating arrangement affects how sound waves interact with the audience, as audience density can significantly affect sound absorption. Closely spaced seating layouts often absorb more sound, making it necessary to adjust speaker output and consider additional reflective surfaces to maintain balance.

Material-Forward Design

Stilj™ panels celebrate the beauty of real timber — from the variation in grain to the warmth of each tone. The vertical rhythm created by the slats gives plain walls movement, structure, and depth.

With finishes that work in Scandinavian, industrial, Japandi, and modern interiors alike, acoustic timber slats help set the tone for contemporary design.

Elevating Interiors Through Texture and Rhythm

Stilj™ wood slats bring more than just visual appeal—they introduce structure, rhythm, and depth to modern interiors. By using evenly spaced, vertical or horizontal slats, designers can create a dynamic play of light and shadow across walls, adding both warmth and dimension to flat surfaces. Whether applied in entryways, living rooms, or office spaces, these panels soften acoustics while maintaining a refined, contemporary look. Their modular design also allows for seamless integration across large wall areas, creating cohesion in open-plan spaces without overwhelming the architecture.

Sustainable, Practical, and Built to Last

Each Stilj™ panel is built using recycled PET felt and FSC-certified wood. These sustainable acoustic panels reduce environmental impact while supporting durability and indoor air quality.

Designed for longevity and flexibility, they offer architects, designers, and homeowners a timeless alternative to trend-driven wall treatments.
