Warmth in a room of hard surfaces

Kitchens are full of tile, stone, glass and steel. They’re practical, but they can make a room feel cold and loud. A panel wall adds natural texture that balances all those hard surfaces.

Slats in oak or walnut tones go well with both white and dark cabinets. Browse panels by color to find yours.

Where kitchen wall panels work best

The best places are next to the cooking zone, not behind it: the end of the island, the dining nook, the wall facing the living area or the ceiling above the table. Behind the hob and sink, keep a splashback in tile, glass or stone.

In an open-plan home, an Embrace room divider can mark where the cooking area ends and the living room begins.

Choose an easy-to-clean finish

A busy room needs surfaces that keep up with daily life. Wood-like Akupanels have a foil wrapped fully around each slat. They keep their color and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Natural wood Akupanels bring real grain and only need a soft brush or a well-wrung cloth.

Whichever you choose, place the panels away from direct water, grease and steam.

Shelves and storage on the wall

Add shelves for cookbooks and jars, hooks for towels or a magnetic board for the shopping list. Create accessories clip between the slats, so you can move them whenever you need the space for something else.

Less noise in an open-plan kitchen

In an open-plan home, the kitchen sets the sound level for the whole room. The dishwasher, the extractor fan and people cooking together all travel across the space.

Every Akupanel has an acoustic felt backing with Class A sound absorption. Panels on the walls or ceiling soften that echo, so you can cook and talk at the same time.
