If you're building a home studio in the UK, one of the most impactful upgrades you can make is adding acoustic wall panels. They reduce echo, control sound reflections, and give your recordings a cleaner, more professional sound without major construction.
What to look for in acoustic panels
Not all panels are equal. Look for panels that balance absorption with aesthetics especially if your studio doubles as a living or working space. Key factors include material (wood slat vs. fabric), thickness, NRC rating, and finish.
Wood slat acoustic panels: form meets function
Wood slat panels like our Natural Oak and Dark Oak styles offer a premium look that works in both studios and modern interiors. They absorb mid-to-high frequencies effectively while adding a warm, architectural feel to the room.
How many panels do you need?
A good starting point is covering 20–30% of your wall surface area. For a typical spare bedroom studio (3m x 3m), that's roughly 4–6 panels depending on size.
Placement tips
Focus on the first reflection points the walls directly to the left and right of your listening position, and the wall behind your monitors. These have the biggest impact on clarity.
