Perforated panels for counters: elegance and design with relief effects
Counters, whether in reception areas, bars, restaurants or shops, are often the focal point of an environment. To enhance them, perforated panels are a creative and refined solution, capable of adding depth and character thanks to the effects of relief and light. The perforated panels supplied by EC Laser Studio are available with a natural finish, which customers can easily paint with paints or enamels of their choice. In this article we will explore how to use perforated panels to decorate counters, creating a unique and customisable visual impact.
1. Why choose perforated panels for counters?
1. Unique relief effect
The perforated panels, thanks to the carved patterns and the depth they create, give the counter a three-dimensional appearance. Placed in front of strategic lighting, they amplify the relief effect with plays of light and shadow.
2. Extreme customization
Thanks to laser cutting, the panels can be customized with geometric, floral, abstract or thematic patterns, adapting perfectly to the style of the room or space. In addition, the natural finish allows the customer to freely choose the paint that best suits their project.
3. Versatile materials
Made from wood, MDF or plywood, perforated panels offer a wide range of design and finishing options, perfect for rustic, modern or elegant environments.
4. Easy installation
The perforated panels are lightweight and easy to assemble, making them a quick and practical solution to transform an existing counter into a stunning decorative element.
2. Practical applications of perforated panels on counters
1. Bars and restaurants
Perforated panels can be used to decorate the front of counters, creating a welcoming and refined atmosphere. Add backlighting to highlight the perforated patterns and create a suggestive relief effect, ideal for evening environments.
2. Reception
In hotel receptions, offices or beauty salons, perforated panels offer a professional and welcoming touch. The patterns can be customized to reflect the visual identity of the company.
3. Shops
Use perforated panels to enrich shop counters, attracting customers' attention with a unique and refined design.
4. Events and fairs
Perforated panels can be used to decorate temporary counters, making trade show booths more eye-catching and memorable.
3. Relief effects: how to enhance perforated panels
1. Backlight
Inserting LED lights behind perforated panels is one of the most effective techniques for creating a relief effect. The light that filters through the perforated patterns adds depth and dynamism to the design.
2. Contrast with underlying material
To emphasize the carved patterns, you can install the panels on a colored or metallic base, creating a visual contrast that highlights the details.
3. Overlapping layers
Combine perforated panels with solid surfaces or other materials (such as metal or glass) for a layered effect that adds extra depth.
4. Thematic Designs
Choose patterns that match the theme of the venue or space, such as waves for a seafood restaurant, floral patterns for a pastry shop, or geometric lines for a modern bar.
4. Design Ideas for Perforated Counter Panels
1. Geometric patterns
Ideal for modern and minimalist environments, the panels with clean lines and symmetrical patterns create an elegant and contemporary effect.
2. Floral or natural motifs
Perfect for restaurants, bars or reception areas with a welcoming style, these designs add an organic and relaxing touch.
