Quick answer: Plan acoustic treatment before your interior design is finalised so panels, colours and fixings are part of the design, not an afterthought. Tell your designer where the room will be used for speech or music, avoid all-hard finish schemes, and leave wall and ceiling zones for panels. It saves money and gives a better-looking result.

Key takeaways

  • Brief your designer on how the room will be used.
  • Avoid all-hard finishes; leave zones for panels.
  • Match panel colours to the palette from the start.

What should I tell the designer?

Room use (calls, music, dining), expected occupancy, and that you want acoustic panels. Ask for zones on walls and the ceiling. About 20–40% of the walls (20–40%) is a useful starting figure.

Which finishes cause trouble?

Large glass areas, polished concrete, hard tiles and exposed ceilings, especially together. All of these reflect sound instead of soaking up it. A room with all four will echo, so it needs more panels.

Plan acoustics with the design infographic

How do panels fit the design?

As colour blocks, grids, printed feature walls or ceiling clouds that follow lighting. There are 39 fabric colours, and printed panels can carry artwork. Sizes of 600 × 600, 1200 × 600 and 1800 × 600 mm fit most layouts.

Can we add them later?

Yes, but the best results come from planning together. Late panels must work around lights, air-con and finished joinery. That can limit where they go. See acoustic treatment in renovations.

What we see on real jobs

Sharing the acoustic goal at concept stage lets the designer treat panels as part of the room. Panel zones, colours and fixings can then follow the lighting plan.
