Softline Wall Felt suits spaces where you want a gentle, welcoming wall that absorbs sound and softens the mood without fuss. It’s a favourite in bedrooms, living rooms, boardrooms, clinics, and open-plan offices where busy lives mean a constant shuffle of shoes, voices and furniture. The panelised format lets you break up long stretches of wall or highlight a feature zone behind a headboard, reception desk or banquette back.
In restaurants and cafes, Softline Wall Felt keeps booth backs comfortable and easy on the ear, especially when mounted on rails for a subtle reveal and easy removal for cleaning or rewiring. At home, it works well in studies and kids’ rooms where elbows and bags hit the walls, and in flats or townhouses where you want a bit more hush between neighbours.
A good fit means checking more than the size of the wall. Bring a tape measure to site and look out for power points, skirtings, dado rails, switches and any wall art or shelving planned for the same wall. Remember that adhesive-mount panels need a smooth, clean surface for best hold.
For rail-mount panels, make sure there's enough clearance above door frames and windows. If the room is older or the walls are uneven, take a spirit level and check for bows or dips that might show up once the felt is up. Always measure twice and photograph the wall in daylight so you can see any marks or colour shifts that might come through lighter felt tones.
On the Highveld, dry winters mean cold air and tiled floors that make rooms echo. Softline Wall Felt softens that sharpness, helping rooms feel warmer and a bit less stark. In Joburg, sun through a north window can fade colours over time, so rotate pieces or choose a neutral like Stone Wash or Mist Paper for sunny spots.
Along the coast, especially in Durban or Cape Town, humidity can settle on any wall finish. Softline Wall Felt is built to breathe and won’t trap moisture, but damp, closed rooms still risk a musty smell. Open the windows when you can and vacuum the felt regularly, especially after a power cut when the place has been shut for hours. Always dry out any damp patch quickly.
A client with a long, echoey living room in Woodstock wanted to make the space cosier without heavy curtains or cladding. We suggested Softline Wall Felt in Sage Field, rail-mounted along the TV wall and wrapped around the corner behind a reading chair. The felt panels brought down the noise from the street and helped with the chilly winter air off the mountain.
Installation took half a day. Afterwards, the client sent us a photo of their dog stretched out against the felt wall, proving it’s not only people who notice the difference. Don’t forget to check your paint finish before fitting: darker felt colours can pick up chalky marks from dusty hands or old walls, so wipe down and let everything dry first.
