Felt panels as a design statement: how to transform any space
Felt panels have grown over the past few years to become one of the most popular materials among architects and interior designers. Not only because of their warm appearance, but especially due to the acoustic properties and design flexibility that PET felt provides. With felt panels, you can easily add rhythm, depth, and texture to a space, while simultaneously creating a calm atmosphere.
Why designers choose PET felt
What PET‑felt sets itself apart is the combination of aesthetics and quality. The material is shape-retentive, ensuring lines stay sharp and patterns fit together precisely as you designed them. This gives you the freedom to work with repetitions, rhythmic patterns, or bold shapes.
In addition, PET felt has a rich, tactile appearance that immediately adds extra value to a space. Where hard materials often feel cold, acoustic felt introduces a soft layering that visually enhances an interior. This makes it ideal for spaces where atmosphere and experience are important.
Self-adhesive wall covering: quick and sleek
For projects where time or ease of installation plays a role, self-adhesive felt is a clever solution. The flexible felt panels have a strong adhesive layer, allowing you to easily glue them onto the wall to create a fully finished surface. When using larger panels, it is advisable to add some extra sealant for added security to ensure a secure fixation.
Self-adhesive wall coverings are ideal for hotel rooms, conference rooms, schools, and restaurants. The installation is simple, the finish is sleek, and thanks to the extensive color palette, you can seamlessly integrate the material into your design.
Acoustic wall covering made of felt: design that brings calm
Although design is important, it's nice that felt acoustic panels contribute to a pleasant spatial experience. By adding relief and thickness, not only visual depth is created, but also a better acoustics. Especially in open office spaces, hospitality, or educational environments, this creates a balance between aesthetics and comfort, without compromising the design.
Acoustic wall covering made of felt is excellent for large walls where you want to incorporate patterns, rhythms, or custom structures. The possibilities in colour and shape make the material suitable for both calm, understated interiors and dynamic, expressive concepts.
Color, shape and customization: the key design choices
Working with felt often starts with colour. PET felt is available in a wide range of shades: from soft naturals to deep, vibrant accent colours. This allows you to subtly add atmosphere or to create a bold design. Colour largely determines the appearance, from warm and calm to energetic and expressive.
In addition to color , the thickness of the material also plays an important role. PET felt is available in various thicknesses, each offering its own visual and functional benefits. Thick felt, such as 25 mm, has better acoustic performance and adds more body and depth, but is less suitable for very fine details. Therefore, many designs opt for a layered construction with two 9 mm PET felt layers. This layering increases design flexibility and allows for subtle relief and 3D effects that truly bring a wall to life. Additionally, a double layer performs acoustically better than a single 9 mm layer.
For designers seeking custom solutions, PET‑felt offers complete freedom. The felt panels are precisely cut using a CNC machine, enabling both sleek graphic patterns and soft, organic shapes. Whether you opt for a single felt wall panel or full wall solutions designed from scratch, PET‑felt remains a material that allows designers to play without limits.
