Panels are more than just structural elements; they add a sense of intrigue and craftsmanship to any room. Often overlooked, these flat expanses of material quietly infuse spaces with texture, character, and a subtle charm. Join us as we explore the many ways panels can transform a room.
Wooden Panels
Wooden panels, whether polished or rustic, bring warmth and life into a space. In the drawing rooms at Charlotte Street Hotel and Covent Garden Hotel, they create a sense of comfort, inviting you to curl up with a book and reflect.
In our room at the Kips Bay Showhouse in New York, our designs for Schotten & Hansen resulted in custom-coloured wainscoting that lines the walls like trees in a forest, grounding the space with layers of texture and storytelling.
Kitchen Cabinet Panels
Shaker-style kitchen panels offer a quiet nod to simplicity while exuding timeless elegance. Their crisp, recessed design blends artistry and functionality, serving as a beautiful canvas for the heart of the home.
Mirrored Panels
Mirrored panels have a natural ability to play with light and space, creating the illusion of boundless room. They can take a small, dimly lit basement and transform it into an expansive, bright gallery. These panels capture movement, reflecting light like ripples on water, adding an ever-changing dynamic to the room.
Acoustic Panels
Acoustic panels absorb sound and transform echoing spaces into intimate, cosy environments. In our interiors, we often wrap acoustic panels in eclectic fabrics, turning them into art pieces that are as visually captivating as they are functional. Perfect for music rooms, home theaters, or bedrooms, these panels offer both practicality and unexpected whimsy.
‘PIT-A-PAT’ Table
Our latest design for Schotten & Hansen, the PIT-A-PAT ‘Munich’ table, introduces trapezoid veneer panels within a bronze frame that can be magnetically swapped. This allows the table to evolve like living art, constantly adapting to your changing style while remaining a timeless centerpiece.
Panels are the quiet gems of interior design—versatile, sleek, and full of possibilities. Whether you’re adding texture, playing with light, or creating a cosy retreat, panels invite endless creativity into your space.
