Acoustic wallcovering

Acoustic wallpaper is a wall covering that tames the sound in a room while giving the wall a warm, finished look. Where smooth wallpaper bounces sound waves back, this wall covering catches them in a fibre-rich, micro-perforated or felted top layer. You notice the difference straight away: less reverberation, a calmer conversation and a wall that feels soft and inviting. As a welcome side effect, those same fibres insulate lightly, so the wall feels warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Why acoustic wallpaper makes a difference

The effect lies entirely in the build-up of the top layer. Textile, non-woven and felt absorb sound waves instead of throwing them back into the room. That difference is clearly noticeable in spaces full of hard surfaces — a tiled floor, large windows, a concrete ceiling. On top of that, the texture adds visual depth: the surface looks warm and tactile, and comes in quiet plain shades as readily as in bold motifs. For an even stronger relief there is the related textured wallpaper, which offers the same tactile effect without the sound-dampening fibre layer.

Acoustic wallpaper room by room

A living room with lots of glass and a tiled floor quickly sounds hollow; there this wall covering takes the sharp edges off the sound right away. In a home office it makes video calls calmer because your voice no longer lingers, and in the bedroom it adds a layer of quiet you feel the moment you walk in. It proves itself in project interiors such as hotel lobbies and meeting rooms too, because it combines comfort and acoustics without drawing attention to itself. If you are after an even softer, warmer wall, look beyond this collection at textile wallpaper, which is closely related to the acoustic variants. For heavily used spaces, vinyl wallpaper makes a robust addition, and for a wall printed entirely to size there is made-to-measure wallpaper.

Order a sample first

Texture and colour never come fully into their own on a screen. So request a sample before you decide — that way you feel how the fibres behave and see how the shade reads in your own daylight. Want to know how many rolls you need? Then use the wallpaper calculator for an accurate estimate.
