Jack Kinsey’s Garden Office: Why Wider Slats Make a Bigger Impact
Regular readers of our blog will know that we were fortunate to recently partner with the talented Jack Kinsey on his latest home DIY project. In our previous feature, we explored why Jack, a BBC Interior Design Masters finalist, opted for dark oak panels - but this time, we’re diving into another key design choice: the size.
What makes the SlatWall Grand panel different?
At Naturewall, our talented team of craftspeople create a wide array of panels that not only meet different colour palettes, but size requirements too.
While more narrow details on our wall panels appeal to a great number of stylish decorators, some prefer to go big, and introduce more of a statement finish to their walls while still keeping it beautiful and appealing. This is where grand wall panels come to the fore.
Our Slatwall Grand wide acoustic panels are designed to feature widened slats and narrower intervening gaps for a bold yet elegant finish. Offering the perfect balance between classic and contemporary sophistication, they feature the 3D linear format and soundproofing properties synonymous with our range of acoustic panels, providing a luxurious look, while introducing greater texture and dynamism.
Jack Kinsey's take on choosing wider slats
For his latest project, Jack created a tranquil, nature-inspired garden office - a place designed with creativity, calm, and focus in mind. To achieve that sense of mindful balance, he wanted natural materials that made a statement without overwhelming the space.
SlatWall Grand Acoustic Dark Oak turned out to be the perfect choice.
Instead of restricting the panels to the walls of his garden office, Jack extended their charisma across the ceiling as well. This exciting design choice gives the space a warm, organic feel - ideal for both focus and comfort. Thanks to their acoustic qualities, the panels also help maintain a quiet and efficient working environment!
When asked why he picked grand panels, Jack said, “What stood out to me was the scale, with the wood slats being twice as wide compared to others I had seen before. This made it feel more unique and bold. It is a statement piece while still keeping that natural, timeless character that I love to work with.
“I recommend choosing grand slats for a more unique and bold look - It is a statement piece while still keeping that natural, timeless character that I love to work with.”
The end result speaks for itself. The generous profile of Jack’s chosen panels brings both character and beauty to the space without overwhelming it. The result is an idyllic setting where Jack can dream up the amazing projects of the future.
