Acoustic wallpaper — sound-absorbing & stylish | Selected

Echo in the living room, an office that keeps ringing, a bedroom that feels too 'hollow' — these are complaints more common than you might think. Acoustic wallpaper offers an elegant solution: sound-absorbing wall covering that improves the acoustics of your room and elevates your interior in a single step. No visible interventions, just a beautifully finished wall that feels soft and warm.

What makes acoustic wallpaper different

Where regular wallpaper is mostly decorative, acoustic wallpaper combines aesthetics with function. Most types consist of a fibre-rich or micro-perforated top layer in textile, non-woven or felt. This soft structure absorbs sound waves instead of reflecting them — the result is noticeably less echo and a calmer, more pleasant sound in the room.

An added benefit: the same fibres that capture sound also provide mild thermal insulation. Your wall feels warmer in winter and cooler in summer, contributing to a more comfortable indoor climate.

Which rooms suit sound-absorbing wallpaper?

Living rooms with a lot of glass, tiles or hard flooring

Project interiors such as hotel lobbies, practice rooms and meeting halls

The leading collections

One of the best-known names in this segment is Texdecor — their Texdecor wallpaper collection features multiple lines with certified acoustic reports, so you know exactly which sound-absorption value to expect. Omexco's Silence collection is also fully developed around sound dampening, with warm textile weaves in serene colours.

For those looking for a soft, natural look, textile wallpaper is a logical addition: the same acoustic principles, with a distinctly artisanal character. And for anyone who wants to combine a natural-fibre appearance with sound dampening, sisal wallpaper offers a warm, tactile solution.

Installation and advice

Acoustic wallpaper requires a smooth surface and careful workmanship — the thicker structure and seams are more demanding than standard wallpaper.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ about Acoustic wallcovering

What is acoustic wallpaper?

Acoustic wallpaper is a wall covering that absorbs sound instead of reflecting it. The top layer consists of textile, non-woven or micro-perforated material, often with a felt or foam backing. The result: less echo, more pleasant sound and a warm, tactile wall. It looks like design wallpaper and works as sound dampening at the same time.

How much sound does acoustic wallpaper actually absorb?

That depends on the product. Leading brands such as Texdecor and Omexco provide acoustic reports per collection, with concrete absorption values (αw). In living rooms and bedrooms, acoustic wallpaper is often enough to noticeably reduce echo. For heavy noise loads, it can be combined with other sound-absorbing measures.

Is acoustic wallpaper also visually attractive?

Yes — modern acoustic wall coverings are designed by leading design houses such as Texdecor, Omexco, Elitis, Casamance, Arte and Moooi. Collections range from sleek and minimalist to richly textured, in serene shades or bold statement colours. Function and aesthetics go hand in hand.

How does acoustic wallpaper differ from regular wallpaper?

Regular wallpaper is purely decorative; sound bounces right off it. Acoustic wallpaper has a special fibre-rich or perforated build-up that captures sound waves. Visually, the difference is often minimal — your wall looks just as beautiful, but sounds entirely different. Acoustic wallpaper also insulates slightly better thermally.

How is acoustic wallpaper applied?

Acoustic wallpaper is supplied on rolls and applied with a specific adhesive to a smooth, clean surface. Because of the thickness and structure, it requires careful workmanship — the seams need to line up exactly for a seamless finish. Professional installation is recommended, especially for larger walls and textured designs.
