A wood slat wall does two jobs: it adds warmth and texture, and acoustic slat panels with a felt backing take the echo out of a room. Behind a TV, a desk or a record player, it's the upgrade that changes how a room looks and sounds.

1. Walnut slats, floor to ceiling

The Art3d Acoustic Slat Panels come in a pack of six, each 94.5 x 7.9 in, with a natural walnut grain. They're MDF on high-density polyester fiber, made to dampen sound in living rooms, offices and studios.

2. Oak for a lighter room

The Acoustic Wood Slat Panels in oak have real oak veneer and cover about 31 sq ft with four 47.2 x 23.6 in panels. You can cut them to fit and mount them with adhesive or screws.

3. Teak for a warmer tone

The Acoustic Wood Slat Panels in teak are four 96 x 12.6 in panels on a felt backing, covering about 33 sq ft. They reduce echo and noise and can go on walls or ceilings, with screws or glue.

4. A smaller fluted accent

Not ready for a full wall? The Art3d Fluted Acoustic Panels are two 47.2 x 23.6 in oak panels: enough for a desk nook or the space behind a record player.

5. Reclaimed teak tiles

For a rougher, organic texture, the Reclaimed Teak 3D Wall Panels are hand-selected, upcycled teak. They need no special tools or mortar, and a pack of ten covers 9.6 sq ft.

How to plan a slat wall

  • Pick one wall, the one behind the TV, bed or desk, rather than the whole room.
  • Run the slats vertically to make a ceiling feel higher.
  • Add an LED strip behind or above the panels for a warm glow at night.
