Upholstered Panels for Bedrooms, Living Spaces and Feature Walls
Upholstered wall panels bring structure and softness to interior spaces, helping to reduce noise while adding a refined finish. In bedrooms, they’re often used behind beds as cushioned headboards, giving support and warmth without the need for permanent fixtures. In living rooms or hallways, they can be arranged vertically or horizontally to add acoustic softness and create a more polished surface.
Because each panel is modular, layouts can be customised easily to fit around alcoves, shelving, or furniture. The lightweight structure means they’re simple to reposition, making them ideal for renters and DIY projects as well as permanent installations. Panels attach with adhesive or Velcro strips for a clean, secure hold that avoids drilling or wall damage.
Available in soft-touch fabrics in navy, grey, and powder pink, they offer both neutral and accent options. Once fitted, the cushioned surface creates a tailored backdrop that pairs naturally with wood, painted, or wallpapered walls.
Why Choose Fabric Wall Panels?
Traditional finishes like paint or wallpaper can leave walls flat and prone to marks or noise reflection. Upholstered panels solve these issues by introducing a cushioned, fabric surface that adds comfort and quietness to any space. They’re easy to fit, simple to maintain, and built to last without cracking, peeling, or needing retouching.
The modular design allows total control over placement, from small installations behind furniture to full walls in bedrooms or offices. Panels also provide an added layer of softness, improving safety in homes with children and reducing impact noise in shared spaces.
For a complementary texture, many people pair them with cork wall panels or acoustic slat panels to mix natural and upholstered finishes across a room.

Yes. The soft fabric and foam core help reduce sound reflection, making rooms quieter and more comfortable. They’re especially useful in bedrooms, home offices, and open-plan areas.
Can upholstered panels be removed without damage?
When fitted with Velcro strips, panels can be detached without marking the wall, making them ideal for temporary or rented spaces.
What sizes and shapes are available?
