Collection: Home Office

No — acoustic panels absorb sound inside the room, not block external noise. They make your space quieter and clearer for calls and concentration, but won't stop traffic noise, neighbours, or family sounds from getting in. For external noise problems, you need soundproofing solutions (heavier construction, secondary glazing) rather than panels.

Yes — and noticeably. Most home offices have hard surfaces (laminate floors, plasterboard walls, glass desks) that reflect your voice straight into your microphone, creating that hollow "in a room" sound on calls. Even 3-4 well-placed panels behind your camera position and on the wall behind you typically eliminate this. Podcasters, content creators and remote workers tend to hear the difference within a few minutes of installation.

The wall behind your camera is the highest-priority surface — that's the one most affecting your recorded voice. Side walls near your speaking position are next. If you've got a hard ceiling and the room sounds echoey, a single ceiling panel above your desk makes a noticeable difference. As a rule, treat the surfaces closest to where you speak first.

Yes — several products in our range are designed for removable installation. If wall damage is a concern, free-standing acoustic screens give you the same acoustic benefit without any fixing at all.

A small home office (10m² or so) typically needs 3–6 panels covering around 20–25% of one major wall surface. Larger rooms and rooms with hard floors and minimal soft furnishings need more. The acoustic calculator gives you a precise recommendation based on your room dimensions.

If you do regular sensitive calls (legal, medical, financial), professional voice recording, or share a room with others who can hear your meetings, an acoustic booth or pod might suit you better than panels. Booths give you full acoustic isolation in a self-contained unit. For most remote workers, though, panels are perfectly sufficient and far less expensive.

Yes. Panels come in 25+ colours, multiple textures (PET felt, fabric-wrapped, timber slat, 3D sculpted), and printable options including custom artwork. Many home office buyers treat panels as a design feature — a textured wall behind the desk that improves the room visually as well as acoustically.

Most home office panels use simple adhesive, light fixings or hooks — no specialist tools needed. A typical home office install takes 30–60 minutes. Full instructions and any required fixings come with every order.

Yes. Panels we sell carry UK/EU fire classifications, made from non-toxic materials (typically recycled PET felt or fabric-wrapped fibreboard). Specific ratings are listed on each product page. For most domestic settings, any panel in our range is suitable.

A decent budget for a home office is £500.
