Perforated Ceiling Panels: Unique Light Effects for Rooms and Interiors
Wooden perforated panels are not only a decorative element for walls and partitions: they can also be used to transform ceilings into functional works of art. Thanks to their ability to create suggestive plays of light and improve the acoustics of spaces, perforated panels are an ideal choice for venues, restaurants, offices and even homes. In this article, we will explore the benefits, applications and inspirations for using perforated panels in ceilings.
1. Why choose perforated ceiling panels?
Unique visual effects
Perforated panels allow you to play with light and shadow, creating dynamic and artistic visual effects. Placed above light points, perforated patterns project designs onto the walls and floor, transforming the environment.
Tailor-made customization
Thanks to laser cutting, the panels can be customized with designs that match the theme of the room or space. From modern geometric patterns to organic designs inspired by nature, the possibilities are endless.
Improved acoustics
Perforated wood panels help absorb sound, reducing echo and improving acoustic comfort. This feature is especially useful in noisy places such as restaurants or bars.
Refined aesthetics
Wood adds warmth and a natural touch, making spaces more welcoming and sophisticated.

5. Case Study: Before and After
Case Study 1: Modern Restaurant
Problem: A restaurant was looking for a way to improve the atmosphere without major structural changes.
Solution: We installed perforated panels with a floral pattern above the main light fixtures. The poplar wood panels, painted in matte black, cast decorative shadows on the tables and walls.
Result: The space took on an intimate and sophisticated feel, with customers often commenting on the unique design.
Case Study 2: Open space office
Problem: An open-plan office suffered from acoustic problems and lacked an appealing design.
Solution: Perforated panels with a geometric pattern were installed on the ceiling. The panels, in addition to improving the acoustics, diffused the light evenly.
Result: The environment became quieter and more visually interesting, improving employee comfort.
6. How to install perforated panels on the ceiling
