Feature wall ideas for every room
Living rooms, TV walls, bedrooms, home offices, hallways, kitchens and commercial spaces — the ideas that work best in each room, and which feature wall to choose.
Living room & TV wall ideas
The TV wall is the most popular place for a feature wall. Slats or fluting behind the screen hide cables and frame the TV; a full media wall adds storage, a fire and lighting.
- Run slats floor to ceiling behind the TV, with plain wall either side
- Add an electric fire and LED strip for an evening glow
- Stone-effect panels around a chimney breast
- Dark fluted panels for a cinema feel
Bedroom feature wall ideas
A headboard wall gives a bedroom a boutique-hotel feel. Keep colours soft and textures warm.
- Full-height slats behind the bed with wall lights
- Shaker panelling painted in sage, blush or deep green
- Fluted panels in a soft painted colour
- Half-height panelling with a picture shelf
Home office & Zoom backdrop ideas
Your video-call background is also the wall that bounces your voice back at the microphone. Acoustic slats or felt fix both at once.
- Acoustic slats behind the desk for a warm, professional backdrop
- A felt hexagon cluster in two or three colours
- Felt panels doubling as a pin board
- Built-in desk and shelving integrated into the wall
Hallway & stairs ideas
Hallways take knocks from bags, buggies and bikes. Panelling protects the walls and makes a great first impression.
- Half-height panelling with a dado shelf
- Staircase panelling following the rake of the stairs
- Vertical slats to make a low hallway feel taller
- A bold paint colour on the panelling, lighter above
Dining room & kitchen ideas
Panelling and fluting bring warmth to rooms full of hard surfaces — and fluted island fronts are one of the biggest kitchen trends.
- Fluted kitchen island or breakfast bar front
- Jacobean panelling in a dining room
- Acoustic slats to calm a noisy open-plan kitchen
- Colour-drenched panelling and walls in one shade
Kids’ rooms & playroom ideas
Soft, colourful and practical: felt walls are pinnable, wipeable panelling survives everyday life.
- Felt hexagons in bright, mixed colours
- A felt pin-board wall for drawings
- Lower panelling in a wipeable paint
- Cut-out felt shapes — clouds, mountains, waves
Office & meeting room ideas
Hard, modern offices echo. Acoustic walls improve speech clarity in meeting rooms and open-plan spaces — and they can carry your brand.
- Felt panels in brand colours in meeting rooms
- Acoustic slat ceiling over open-plan desks
- Logo cut-outs in layered felt at reception
- Slat walls around booths and quiet zones
Café, bar & reception ideas
A memorable wall makes a space photographable — and the right material makes it quieter for customers.
- Stone-effect bar front with LED grazing
- Curved fluted reception desk
- Felt shapes on the ceiling to cut noise
- Slat wall with a backlit logo
