Slat Wall Panels

What Are Slat Wall Panels and Why Are They Everywhere Right Now?

Let’s break it down, slat wall panels are vertical or horizontal strips that instantly give your walls texture, rhythm and character. But these aren’t just any panels, they’re a fast-growing favourite among designers, homeowners and architects for good reason.

So, what exactly are slat wall panels?

• Design-wise: They’re made of evenly spaced “slats” or ridges that run across the surface, creating a structured yet minimal look.
• Functionally: They go beyond style, they can help manage acoustics, offer LED integration and even regulate indoor air conditions (when made with gypsum like Kandes panels).

Why are modern slat wall panels trending now?

Here’s why you’re seeing them everywhere:

• Instant transformation - They turn flat, boring walls into feature-worthy design moments.
• Works in all spaces - From Scandinavian homes to sleek cafés, interior slat panel designs work with nearly any style.
• Flexible materials - Whether you love the warm feel of wood slat wall ideas or the smooth finish of gypsum wall slats, there’s a panel for every vibe.

People love them because they’re clean, functional and never try too hard. That’s a rare combo in interior design.

If you have no prior experience in installing 3D wall tiles or wall panels, we highly advise you to hire a qualified professional to achieve the best results.

Built for Designers, Loved by Everyone, The Kandes Approach

When something looks this good and works even better, it’s hard not to fall in love. That’s exactly what makes Kandes stand out in a world full of copy-paste wall panels. Whether you’re flipping a room or planning a full-scale renovation, Kandes slat wall panels are made to impress not just visually, but practically too.

How Kandes Panels Are Made to Impress?

Let’s talk about craftsmanship, because it matters.

• Made from real stuff: These are not your average boards. Kandes uses high-density gypsum slat wall panels crafted through a proprietary process for unmatched detail and strength.
• No corners cut: Everything’s made in the EU with a clear focus on quality control. Every panel is checked and every edge is finished just right.
• Safety-first design: Certified A1 non-combustible according to EN 13501-1 and EN ISO 1182, meaning they won’t catch fire, melt, or emit harmful fumes.
• Planet-friendly choice: Built from eco-friendly wall panel components, these panels use nothing but gypsum and water, no chemical shortcuts, no off-gassing.

So yeah, they look sleek. But they’re also smart, safe and built with care.

The Benefits You Actually Feel in Your Space

It’s not just about the way the panels look. It’s about how they make you feel in your everyday space.

• Balanced indoor climate: The natural gypsum used in Kandes panels makes them powerful humidity-regulating wall panels. They quietly pull moisture out of the air when it’s too humid and release it when the air feels dry.
• Safe to live with: Zero chemicals, zero VOCs. You’re looking at truly safe wall panels for homes, offices, clinics, anywhere people spend time.
• Design freedom: They arrive in a neutral, paintable natural white gypsum finish. Whether you want matte black, soft beige, or bold green, just paint and go.

Kandes panels don’t just change the way your wall looks, they change the way your space lives. Quiet comfort, lasting peace of mind and no maintenance headaches.

Explore Our Slat Wall Panels Collection for Modern Interiors

Every space tells a story. And with Kandes, every panel helps write it better. Here’s a closer look at three standout slat wall panel styles, each made with its own personality, function and fit.

LIGNEO - Clean Lines + Hidden Lighting

If you love minimalist wall panel ideas but want something that still makes a statement, LIGNEO is your match. Its simple vertical grooves bring calm, order, and a subtle sense of height to any room.

What makes it even more flexible? LIGNEO panels come with optional LED integration. You can install them as-is for a clean, architectural look or add lighting accessories like aluminium profiles and LED projectors (available in our collection) to create a sleek, softly glowing feature.

The profiles can be cut to custom lengths and spaced at varying rhythms between the slats, giving you endless creative options. You can even choose the LED lamps inside the projectors to fine-tune the warmth and mood of the light, making it truly yours.

Where it shines:

• Living rooms or home offices need that clean, editorial vibe
• Retail backdrops for product displays that don’t fight for attention
• Works beautifully as vertical slat wall patterns for tall walls
• A go-to favourite for TV wall panel installations that blend tech with modern design

What’s special? You can integrate slat wall panels with LED lights using a hidden profile. That means soft ambient glow without clutter, pure design magic.

GRID - Perfect for Modern Symmetry Lovers

Love balance and clean geometry? GRID panels are designed with a symmetrical wall panel design in mind. The rhythm of perfectly spaced slats makes any wall feel deliberate and organised.

These panels also support optional LED lighting, using a transparent LED profile that fits between the grooves. This profile is designed for standard LED strips (chosen separately by the customer), allowing full control over brightness, warmth, and even colour. You can go soft and cosy, cool and modern, or even dynamic with remote-controlled dimmable options, totally up to your setup.

Where it works best:

• Sleek commercial interiors like salons, waiting rooms, or office lobbies
• Open-concept homes need visual zoning
• Pairs great with glass, metal, or dark wood accents

The GRID pattern also fits right into the world of 3D wall panels for offices, giving you both structure and texture without overcomplicating things.

CASCADE - A Flow That Makes Any Wall Move

For those who like a bit more flow and character, CASCADE brings motion into the mix. This style uses slats of varied widths to create a wavy, layered feel that softens the look of modern interiors.

CASCADE supports optional LED lighting with a transparent LED profile designed for standard LED strips. Customers can choose the type of strip, warm or cool tones, dimmable settings, or even dynamic colour options controlled by a remote. It’s a flexible setup that lets you personalise both the look and the mood of your space.

Perfect for:

• Stylish homes craving a feature wall with depth
• Artistic cafes or boutique hotels
• Bringing a softer edge to rigid interiors

Made from decorative gypsum panels, CASCADE fits right into contemporary slat wall options and adds just the right amount of texture. It’s especially striking as textured wall panels for living rooms, where you want a subtle “wow” factor.
