PET felt in high-end office interiors: from understated to refined

From Sleek Office to Warm Working Environment

The era of white walls, grey desks and predominantly corporate interiors is increasingly behind us. Office interiors are becoming warmer and more atmospheric. Warm tones, varied textures and soft shapes are combined to give spaces more character.  

That doesn’t mean a high-end office suddenly has to become extravagant. By carefully coordinating materials, you create a calm and refined overall look. Think wood veneer, natural stone, upholstered furniture and PET felt in tone-on-tone colours. 

PET felt adds something that flat and hard materials lack: tactility. The material has a soft, matt appearance and can be used subtly or given a more prominent place within the interior. 

Tone-on-tone with PET felt

An interesting development in high-end interiors is tonality. Instead of strong colour contrasts, you work with different nuances within the same colour palette. This creates a sense of calm, while variations in material and texture still give the interior sufficient depth. 

Felt panels are well suited to this. For example, choose different shades of beige, sand or brown and combine these with wood in a similar colour family. Alternatively, pair a dark felt panel with dark furniture and bespoke interiors. 

It’s all in the details. A subtle difference in colour, a different surface texture or relief can be enough to make a large wall more interesting, without demanding attention. 

Acoustic wall covering as part of the design

In a luxury office, you would rather not have acoustic measures feel like a technical addition made afterwards. That is why acoustics can be incorporated into the choice of materials from the very first design phase. Acoustic considerations are also being given a prominent place in interior design trends for modern offices, including in focus areas, meeting spaces and workstations.  

With acoustic wall covering made from PET felt, you can make a wall part of the overall interior concept. Depending on the solution chosen, PET felt can help absorb sound in a room while also creating a softer appearance. 

That makes it interesting for, for example: 

• meeting rooms; 
• boardrooms; 
• reception areas; 
• open-plan office environments; 
• informal meeting areas; 
• staff restaurants and lounges. 

This means the acoustic solution is not separate from the design, but instead becomes part of the architecture and overall look of the space. 

From flat panels to acoustic wall décor

PET felt certainly doesn’t have to mean a flat, uniform wall. By varying shapes, patterns, perforations and relief, you can create a much more layered result. 

With felt panels, you can, for example, divide a large wall surface into a calm geometric pattern. Want more depth? Then you can choose elements that project further forwards or combine different thicknesses. 

Customisation also offers interesting possibilities. A pattern can be tailored to the architecture of the building, while a design in PET felt can also complement shapes found elsewhere in the interior. In this way, acoustic wall decoration becomes a fully-fledged part of the interior concept. 

It’s the details that make all the difference

In a high-end interior, it’s often not about adding more, but about making better choices. A calm base design can gain much more character through a few details. 

Think, for example, of rounded shapes echoed in both the furniture and PET felt, a carefully chosen joint between different felt panels, or a subtle pattern that only becomes truly visible up close. 

Colour also plays a major role in this. Felt does not automatically have to create a striking accent. A colour close to the shade of the wall can instead create a subtle result. Combining the same colour with different textures and materials creates depth without making the interior feel cluttered. 

Combining PET felt with luxurious materials

Acoustic felt works particularly well in combination with materials commonly found in high-end office interiors. Think wood, veneer, natural stone, glass and metal. 

The power lies in the contrast. For example, a soft felt finish alongside natural stone creates a difference in texture. Next to wood, PET felt can instead contribute to a warm and cohesive colour palette. 

By finishing each surface differently, an interior gains more layers. This aligns with the current focus on textures and tactile materials in office interiors. 

Self-adhesive wall covering for a calm finish

Not every application calls for a complex bespoke design. Sometimes you mainly want to add colour and texture to an existing wall. In that case, self-adhesive PET felt wall covering can be a practical choice. 

For example, you can use this to cover an entire wall or create different sections. Depending on the product, the material can be cut to size so that the design matches the wall’s dimensions and layout. 

This is how even a relatively simple application can make a big difference to the appearance of an office space. 

An office interior where style and function come together

A high-end office doesn’t have to be cold or formal. The shift towards warmer colours, softer shapes and greater attention to texture shows that comfort and a premium look can work well together. 

PET felt fits seamlessly within that approach. From subtle felt panels to full acoustic wall coverings, and from understated tone-on-tone compositions to distinctive bespoke solutions, the material gives designers plenty of freedom to develop an office interior down to the finest detail.
