Acoustic Solutions for your space

What are they & why are they important?

This past week, our office was buzzing with a lively debate about the sounds that drive us up the wall. “I can’t handle someone chewing near me,” one person complained, while another added, “Or when someone takes a loud phone call they can’t seem to keep quiet.” The list went on, covering everything from the dreaded words “moist” and “flannel” to classic office noises like nonstop typing, pen clicking, overly chatty coworkers, and, of course, more chewing. We realised that many others might have the same struggles, so we wanted to share a solution that not everyone knows about: adding acoustic panels & other solutions that absorb and diffuse sound, creating a more peaceful, focused space.

Reception

In reception areas, acoustic wall panels do more than just absorb sound—they create a welcoming, calm atmosphere from the moment someone steps in. These panels don’t just blend into the background; they’re a standout feature that keeps noise down and echo at bay. It’s all about setting a professional yet relaxed tone right from the entrance, making the space feel seamless and welcoming as people transition from outside into the office.

Office

Layering acoustic solutions throughout the main office brings together the best of both focus and collaboration. Start with hush lighting above meeting desks or leaners—it’s subtle, sound-absorbing lighting that helps cut down on noise without sacrificing style. For individual work, nano-fibre acoustic screens and focus pods are perfect. Position them as desk dividers or go with hanging or folding screens for flexibility. In breakout areas, add soft seating with acoustic properties. These comfy spots are perfect for “diffuse collaboration”—giving teams a cozy space to chat, brainstorm, or just take a break.

Ceiling

Then there’s the ceiling—acoustic tiles or hanging panels make a huge difference. They intercept sound waves before they reflect off hard surfaces, effectively containing noise and reducing sound transmission throughout the space. Ceiling tiles come in all kinds of 3D shapes, colors, and styles, so they can blend into the background or stand out as a design feature. Paired with acoustic elements on walls and desks, they give a complete approach to sound control that keeps the office feeling calm and focused.

With these layered acoustic solutions, you’re creating an office environment that balances focus and collaboration. These additions enhance your existing space, transforming it into a more productive and adaptable area without the need for a full redesign. It’s an easy way to shift from the quieter home office experience to a shared, dynamic workplace that meets the needs of modern teams.
