1. Minimalist style

The house, characterized by a modern and minimalist design, perfectly reflects Mathilda’s design philosophy—simplicity, functionality, and aesthetics in harmony.

Mathilda shares her approach to interior design and how she always strives to combine style with functionality.

“I love when minimalism meets practicality,” she says, adding that she wants a clean, timeless feel without compromising on functionality.

WoodUpp’s acoustic panels transformed Mathilda’s kitchen, enhancing both aesthetics and sound.

“They’ve added warmth and made hosting dinners so much easier—the noise level is much better, and we can truly enjoy the moment,” she says.

Since installing them, her home feels noticeably quieter and more comfortable.

3. From Minimalist to Cozy

Despite the home’s modern and sleek atmosphere, Mathilda and her family eventually felt the need to add something that would make their home feel more cozy and inviting.

“It felt a bit too bare, both in style and sound, so we started looking for a solution,” Mathilda explains.

After exploring different options, they ultimately chose WoodUpp’s acoustic panels.

Walnut was the natural choice, as they already had elements of this wood in other parts of the house. “We wanted everything to feel cohesive, and walnut was an obvious choice for us,” says Mathilda.

When asked for tips on installing WoodUpp’s acoustic panels, Mathilda is clear:

“Whether you love minimalism or bold design, these panels fit any home. They create a calmer atmosphere and improve the sound environment. My advice? Just go for it!”

Beyond better acoustics, the panels add warmth, making the space a favorite gathering spot for family and friends.

Framed Akupanel slat artwork with vertical and diagonal slats on a stairwell wall beside a window in a Dubai home

How Lex used Akupanel three ways in one Dubai home

Designer Lex framed Akupanel like a painting on a stairwell, ran Rustic Grey Oak across a small bedroom wall and turned the offcuts into a grille that hides the AC.

A rooftop in Cannes

A flat concrete roof above Cannes sat unused for years. Now Aluwood wraps the parapet, the screen and the outdoor kitchen, and after dark the slats themselves light the terrace.

The wall that opens: where a whole terrace hides its clutter

One black wall on this terrace slides open to shelves of towels, linen and a folding chair, then closes back into a single calm surface behind the outdoor kitchen.

How a Simple Idea Became a Design Revolution

A vertical Akupanel wall with nowhere to hang a shelf led designer Martin Sonne to Create: accessories that hang shelves, hooks and more on the slats, without drilling.

Melissa

We visited Melissa in the home she and her husband built from the ground up, where Classic Oak acoustic panels ended the echo in a large kitchen and dining area.

Conference room 8-kanten

Conference room 8-kanten seats hundreds in front of one big screen, and over 500 Akupanels on its walls and ceilings keep the sound in check and the atmosphere inviting.

Suzan

We visited Suzan to see her living room feature wall, where Rustic Brown Oak Akupanels add warmth and texture against white walls and a palette of deep greens and blues.

Annemiek

In Hoofddorp, Annemiek gave her home's farm-like features a modern twist, with Walnut and Classic Oak Akupanels running from her bedroom to a tall stairwell.

Stine Brorsen

We visited Stine in the stylish apartment she shares with Martin, where Classic Oak acoustic panels turned a bare white bedroom into a room she loves.

Annica Norman

We visited Annica and Björn, who mounted Classic Oak Akupanels themselves and turned a noisy home with three children into a calmer one that brings the outdoors in.

Louise Bäckström

High ceilings and concrete floors gave Louise's family home in Gävle a sound problem. Akupanels, stacked two high, cut the echo and made the home feel warmer and calmer.
