Can timber acoustic panels be customised for colour, veneer, or pattern?

Can Timber Acoustic Panels Be Customised for Colour, Pattern or Veneer?

Yes. One of the strengths of Murano Acoustic Timber Panels is the ability to tailor veneer, colour, pattern and layout to suit the design intent. Acoustic performance remains the foundation, but the visible face of the panel can be coordinated with joinery, furniture and overall interior style.

Timber Veneer Options

Murano panels can be supplied in a wide choice of timber veneers, from classic light tones through to rich, darker species. This allows designers to:

  • Match existing doors, wall linings and joinery.
  • Carry a consistent timber story across ceilings and walls.
  • Select veneer tones that support brand or project palettes.

Clear-coat finishes can be specified to show the natural grain, or stained tones can be used where required by the scheme.

Painted and Solid Colours

Where a uniform colour is preferred, Murano timber acoustic panels can be supplied in painted finishes. Designers can:

  • Choose neutral tones for minimal visual interruption.
  • Use deeper colours to define stages, backdrops or feature walls.
  • Coordinate with corporate or school colours in public areas.

Painted panels retain their acoustic function while giving a more contemporary or graphic appearance.

Custom Groove, Perforation and Slot Patterns

Grooved, perforated and slotted Murano panels offer flexibility in pattern. Designers can influence:

  • Groove spacing and width to create fine or bold linear effects.
  • Perforation diameter and centres for subtle or more pronounced textures.
  • Slot layouts that align with feature lines, lighting or architectural grids.

These pattern choices allow panels to sit quietly in the background or become a visible feature in the space.

Panel Size, Orientation and Layout

Murano panels can be manufactured in a range of sizes to suit wall and ceiling modules. Custom layouts may include:

  • Full-height panels to match door or window mullions.
  • Horizontal panel runs wrapping around a room.
  • Ceiling layouts coordinated with lighting, sprinklers and services.

Orientation of the grain and pattern can also be considered so that panels read consistently around the space.

Coordinating with Other Interior Elements

Timber acoustic panels often need to sit comfortably alongside other finishes. Murano panels are commonly coordinated with:

  • Joinery units and reception counters.
  • Timber doors, skirting and architraves.
  • Floor finishes, wall colours and feature lighting.

This coordination helps the acoustic treatment appear as part of the overall design rather than an add-on.

Project-Specific Guidance

The right combination of veneer, colour and pattern will depend on project type, lighting, furniture and the desired visual outcome. Murano can work from drawings, mood boards and samples to suggest options that maintain acoustic performance while meeting design goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Murano Timber Panels

Can I choose different timber veneers for acoustic panels?

Yes. Murano timber acoustic panels can be supplied in a range of veneers so you can match doors, joinery and other timber finishes in the interior.

Are painted finishes available instead of natural timber?

Yes. Panels can be produced in painted finishes where a solid colour is required, while still providing acoustic performance.

Can groove, perforation or slot patterns be customised?

Yes. In many cases groove spacing, perforation size and slot layouts can be adjusted to suit the design intent and acoustic requirements.

Can panel sizes be tailored to suit my wall or ceiling layout?

Yes. Murano panels can be manufactured in sizes that coordinate with grids, openings and feature lines in the project.

What information should I provide for a custom Murano panel specification?

Provide drawings, preferred veneers or colours, any pattern requirements and acoustic targets. The Murano team can then suggest suitable panel configurations.
