Why add wall panelling to your study?

A home office or study benefits from panelling more than most rooms — it creates a considered, focused backdrop for video calls, gives a sense of permanence to a space that's easy to under-decorate, and wall mouldings offer a practical way to conceal trailing desk cables and keep the space looking tidy.

Does wall panelling help with noise in a study?

Yes — a small number of our textured designs (No.108 Zigzags, No.110 Hills, No.109 Valleys and No.130 Chevrons) absorb up to 25% of ambient sound, which can genuinely help concentration in a home office. See our full Acoustic Wall Panels collection for details.

Tips for a beautiful study

Minimalist with a twist

A minimalist directions is a great way to go with a home office, especially if you are someone who like to stay organised and everything have it’s on place.

Painting the room white but adding the character in with the wall mouldings is a great way to breathe some new life into a room. 

With our wall mouldings you are able to hide away any cables that you don’t want to be visible. This is just another way to fuse the old traditional style with a modern update.

Rustic modern

The repetitive linear and square off design is a timeless design that can work in modern and traditional rooms and spaces alike. Applying this slatted panel to your walls will instantly transform your walls into a design-led room with a designer feel.

Painted black and then paired with wooden shelves and desk top really is a great way to incorporate a rustic feel into a professional space.
