Visiting Melissa

Copy link

Melissa and her husband had a clear vision of their dream home and made the decision to build it from the ground up. When they discovered their current location, they instantly recognized its perfect suitability for their family.

Being social individuals who enjoy hosting gatherings with friends and family, creating spacious and open rooms was a top priority for them.

They wanted to ensure that there was space for everyone to come together and enjoy each other’s company.

A space where everyone can gather
Melissa is currently studying to become a pedagogue with a focus on helping those who are in most need of assistance. Alongside her passion for pedagogy, she has a deep love for interior design and keeps herself updated with all the latest design trends.

These trends serve as her inspiration for creating the best possible atmosphere in her home, tailored to her and her family’s preferences.

The love for socializing has had a major impact on the overall vibe of their home.

The dream house

Melissa joyfully shares their journey towards their dream home, radiating a sense of pride in the remarkable outcome, which is completely understandable.

Not only are they delighted with their home, but they also appreciate the surroundings.

Being in close proximity to nature and essential amenities was a crucial factor for the family when selecting the location.

No more noise issues

Melissa explains that prior to installing the acoustical panels on their walls and ceilings, they had some other acoustical plates. However, these plates were not sufficient for their spacious kitchen and dining area, so they had to seek an alternative solution.

That’s when Melissa discovered WoodUpp, and fortunately, the panels proved to be effective in eliminating the reverberation in the room.

Discovered WoodUpp

Melissa stumbled upon information online about the effectiveness of acoustical panels in removing reverberation in larger rooms.

That’s when we discovered WoodUpp and decided to order color samples to find the perfect wood tone that would complement our home. We ended up falling in love with the bright hue, and it fits seamlessly into our well-lit room. The panels add a touch of warmth and nature, perfectly harmonizing with the overall aesthetic of our space.

Melissa creatively used the panels in Classic Oak with Grey Felt to craft a beautiful gable, ceiling, and a headboard, achieving a cohesive and inviting ambiance throughout our home.

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.
