How to Style Your Home for Christmas Using Acoustic Wall Panels: Three Designer Mood Boards for 2025

Time to read 4 min

Christmas décor is evolving — and this year, it’s all about layering natural textures, warm lighting, and meaningful materials to create spaces that feel both festive and beautifully designed. One trend leading the way? Acoustic wall panels.

Once considered purely functional, panels have become a major feature in modern interiors. They add texture, warmth, depth, and a luxurious architectural feel — and they pair effortlessly with Christmas styling. Whether your home leans Scandi-minimal, luxe and traditional, or rustic woodland, the right wall panel can anchor your festive look and elevate it from “decorated” to editorially styled.

To help you curate a truly stunning festive home, we’ve created three exclusive Christmas mood boards, each showcasing one of our signature Easy Panels finishes: Natural Oak, Walnut Oak, and White Ash. They’re all achievable, timeless, and filled with design details you can replicate room by room.

Let’s step inside.

1. Scandi Natural Christmas

Featuring Natural Oak Acoustic Panels

If your dream Christmas looks like a warm mug of cocoa, a soft blanket, and the gentle glow of fairy lights… this one’s for you.

The Scandi Natural Christmas aesthetic leans into simplicity, tactile comfort, and organic materials. The palette is muted — soft whites, oat beige, sage greens, and warm wood. But what makes this look truly effortless is the use of Natural Oak acoustic panels. Their subtle golden undertones instantly bring warmth into a minimalist space without overwhelming the simplicity that Scandinavian design celebrates.

How to Style It

The Tree: Choose a natural pine with a loose, airy shape. Keep ornaments simple: wooden figures, paper stars, white ceramic baubles, and warm fairy lights. A woven jute tree basket ties everything together effortlessly.

Furniture & Textures:

Think stone-coloured sofas, chunky knit throws, linen cushions, woven baskets, and soft tactile accessories. Scandinavian styling is all about comfort without clutter — so choose fewer, better pieces.

Decor Details:

– Glass vases with fresh or dried greenery
– Simple white candles
– Soft diffused lighting rather than bright overheads

Why Natural Oak Works

Natural Oak’s honey-toned warmth softens the coolness of winter and balances the clean neutrals in the room. Instead of stark white walls, the panel texture adds depth and a crafted feel — the perfect backdrop for a minimal, nature-led Christmas.

2. Classic Red & Gold Christmas

Featuring Walnut Oak Acoustic Panels

For those who love the indulgent, nostalgic feel of Christmas — velvet textures, crackling fires, rich colours, and timeless ornaments — the Classic Red & Gold palette never goes out of style. This look embraces tradition but feels elevated and modern when paired with the right finishes.

Enter: Walnut Oak acoustic panels.

This finish brings a deep, luxurious tone to the room. The rich brown colour enhances red and gold decorations, making metallics glow and greenery feel richer. Rooms instantly feel more atmospheric and high-end.

How to Style It

The Tree: A full, dense tree with a mix of classic red baubles, gold ribbons, glass ornaments, and antique-inspired pieces. Generous warm lights are key — the glow should feel rich and layered, not icy or stark.

Furniture & Textures:

Nothing says festive luxury like a deep green velvet sofa. Pair with red cushions, knitted throws, and gold candle holders. Add a festive wreath above the panels or a nutcracker figure beside the tree for a classic touch.

Decor Details:

– Gold-wrapped gift boxes
– Candles in brass holders
– Garland on the mantel
– Darker woods to match the panel depth

Why Walnut Oak Works

Walnut Oak enhances the depth and richness of traditional Christmas décor. Its dark, chocolatey tone makes red and gold pop, turning the room into a warm cinematic setting. It’s ideal for large or medium spaces where you want instant atmosphere.

3. Winter Woodland Retreat

Featuring White Ash Acoustic Panels

Earthy, rustic, and deeply cosy — this look brings the magic of a frosty woodland lodge into your home. Layered textures, natural elements, and amber lighting come together to create a mood that feels handcrafted and comforting.

The key to elevating this rustic aesthetic is pairing it with the right wall finish: White Ash acoustic panels.

They’re pale, subtly grained, and modern — which prevents the woodland look from feeling heavy or overly rustic. Instead, the room feels curated and design-led.

How to Style It

The Tree: Decorate using dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks, pinecones, and dark bronze baubles. The palette is warm but earthy: forest green, pinecone brown, and burnt orange. Soft warm lights make it glow beautifully.

Furniture & Textures:

Use tan or caramel-coloured armchairs, faux fur throws, chunky wool blankets, and natural jute rugs. Rustic wooden tables with candles, pine sprigs, and handmade garlands complete the look.

Decor Details:

– Amber candles in ceramic or glass holders
– Soft pampas grass
– Rustic stockings
– Wooden bowls and trays

Why White Ash Works

White Ash adds brightness and refinement to a heavily textured, natural palette. Instead of darkening the room, it reflects light and creates a Scandinavian-inspired backdrop that keeps the woodland look modern. The panel’s pale tone beautifully contrasts the warm oranges and browns of the décor.
