Tonal by WoodUpp
We created the Tonal Akupanels to explore something new: a way to bring wood and felt together in a more harmonious way.
Each panel in the Tonal series features a tone-on-tone aesthetic where the felt and wood complement each other instead of contrast. The result is subtle, sophisticated, and calming.
Unlike the sharp contrasts of traditional Akupanels, Tonal panels have a soft, layered look. Perfect for spaces where you want the walls to feel like part of the architecture, not just a background.
Whether it’s smoked oak paired with burnt felt or pale woods with soft greys, Tonal is designed to blend beautifully with Scandinavian interiors and contemporary palettes.
This is design that feels thoughtful. And sounds just as good.
Each panel is made from:
- Acoustic felt backing made from recycled plastic bottles (PET)
- Real wood veneer – adds texture and warmth
- MDF core – from sustainable forestry (European-certified)
Akupanels are designed to be easy to install, whether you’re doing a full wall or just a section.
You can install them using:
- Screws (with or without visible heads)
- Glue (for a permanent setup)
Each panel is modular and fits together using tongue-and-groove edges, so you get a seamless finish with no visible gaps.

How to style Tonal
The soft, tone-on-tone finish brings a sense of calm into any room. It doesn’t shout for attention. It creates atmosphere.
Tonal panels are made to blend in, not stand out. That’s what makes them easy to work with.
The colors are soft and understated, so they fit naturally into modern, minimal spaces. You can cover a full wall or use a few panels to add texture where the room feels flat.
They pair well with neutral colors, natural materials like oak and linen, and soft lighting. You don’t need to overthink it — the tone-on-tone look keeps everything consistent and balanced.
Use them in places where you want the space to feel calm, considered, and complete.
What makes Tonal different from other Akupanels?
Tonal panels are built with a tone-on-tone design — where the wood and felt match more closely in shade. It creates a softer, more cohesive look, compared to the high-contrast style of classic Akupanels.
All Akupanels have the same dimensions and install the same way, so you can combine Tonal with Original, Essential, or Rustic panels.
