Panel in the spotlight: Our Walnut wall panels

When designing and choosing different home decor, different shades of colour can add a different look and feel to any room. The walnut panels offered by Element are an elegant way to add a new sense of luxury to your home. 

This week we kick off 2025 with a focus on Walnut fluted wall panels. 

What makes Walnut a great timber for wall panelling?

1. Elegance and warmth 

Walnut is known for its rich, dark tones ranging from deep chocolate brown to lighter coffee hues, walnut adds a sense of sophistication to any space. Its natural, unique grain patterns create a visual depth and texture, making it a timeless choice for those aiming to elevate their interiors.

Walnut panels bring warmth and a cosy ambiance, making them ideal for creating inviting spaces for any space in the house.

2. Durability 

Its density and resilience make it resistant to scratches, dents, and general wear and tear. This makes Walnut panels a practical choice for high-traffic areas or homes with active lifestyles, ensuring they maintain their sleek appearance for years to come.

Benefits of Walnut wall panelling 

1. Properties


Walnut timber provides excellent soundproofing and insulation, making it a superior choice over cheaper alternatives like MDF. Whether used in a home office or living space, the Walnut panels create a quieter, more comfortable environment.

2. A sustainable choice


Our walnut panels are crafted from responsibly sourced timber, ensuring an eco-friendly option that doesn’t compromise on style or quality. By choosing solid walnut, you’re investing in a sustainable material with a smaller ecological footprint compared to synthetic or composite alternatives.

3. Minimal maintenance and long-term value


Walnut’s natural durability means it requires minimal maintenance compared to budget-friendly options. Its resistance to scratches and fading ensures that your panels remain stunning over time, providing ideal value for your investment.


Two top tips to get the most out of your panels 

  1. Use Walnut to create zones in open-plan spaces
    The dark tones and textured grooves of Kurmui Lines Walnut panels are perfect for creating defined areas in open-plan spaces. Use them as a feature wall to separate dining, living, or working areas while maintaining an overall cohesive design. 
  1. Combine with lighter elements for contrast
    Pairing walnut panels with lighter furniture or neutral paint shades can help balance the richness of the wood. This contrast enhances the look and  keeps the space from feeling too heavy or dark.

We believe our panels are best appreciated in person to truly experience their full look and feel. Order a sample pack (refundable upon a full panel purchase) to find the perfect panel for your style.
