As natural wood elements continue to enjoy the spotlight in design, beautifully decorative wood panels are white hot! Whether featured as a main or accent elements, decorative fluting and reeding in 3/4”, 1”, or 1 1/2” inch widths and concave or linear slat cuts have refined the trend. Their vertical lines draw the eye up and create a level of fine detail when applied to cabinets, bars, doors, or directly on walls and ceilings.
This trend is crossing stylistic lines — we’re seeing it in modern, of course, but also in more traditional applications where fluting adds a refined touch. Besides adding gorgeous detail, wood panels also have natural acoustic properties. And they can be easily installed—saving on labor while personifying fresh style.
