Acoustics, ceilings, wall coverings - trends 2026

25 of March '26

Contemporary interior design increasingly treats sound, light and material as equal elements in the composition of a space. The ceiling ceases to be a neutral background and the wall only a finishing surface - they become active tools for shaping the acoustics, atmosphere and functionality of the interior. Architects are reaching for solutions that combine aesthetics with a real impact on the comfort of users: from perforated ceiling structures, to acoustic systems, to decorative wall cladding.

Perfopol shows how perforated metal can build the rhythm and structure of the ceiling as a "fifth wall." DPS Group develops acoustic systems that combine sound absorption technology with modern design. Barwa System focuses on solutions to improve acoustic comfort in educational spaces. Nyquista Acoustic Design considers walls and ceilings as a tool for conscious sound modeling in architecture. REVE introduces decorative murals that organize spaces visually. Brick Fantasy reminds us of the material's authenticity, restoring brick to its architectural role. Fovere develops acoustic systems made of PET felt, combining acoustic function with design possibilities. MILA shows how acoustic panels can become an integral part of interior aesthetics.

We encourage you to read the brief descriptions below and discover the latest directions in interior design, where acoustics, materials and space composition form a cohesive whole.

Perfopol - the ceiling as the fifth wall

Perforated sheets and expanded metal are increasingly appearing in projects as an element of conscious space shaping. Perfopol solutions allow to treat the ceiling as the "fifth wall", which can build the rhythm of the interior and influence its visual perception. Thanks to different types of perforation and the ability to adjust material parameters, architects can design both subtle, minimalist surfaces and more expressive structures.

The systems offered by Perfopol also allow technical installations to be aesthetically concealed while maintaining their service accessibility. Perforated sheet metal also helps control acoustics and airflow in a space. In this way, Perfopol 's solutions combine technical and architectural function, fitting in with the trend of interior design in which each element plays several roles simultaneously.

REVE - mural as wall architecture

REVE murals are part of the trend of decorative walls that become one of the main elements of interior design. REVE designs are often inspired by nature, landscape and organic structures, so they bring a calm, harmonious atmosphere to the space. The subdued color scheme means that the mural can be both a subtle background and a stronger compositional accent.

Thanks to the possibility of personalization, REVE designs can be tailored to the scale and character of a particular interior. Murals are used in hotels, offices, public spaces or apartments, where they help build the individual character of the place. In this way, REVE solutions become part of the interior architecture and not just a decorative accessory.

Brick Fantasy - a return to the authentic material

Brick Fantasy brings back to the interiors an authentic material - old demolition brick. The natural texture, varied colors and traces of history make each brick unique. Thanks to this, Ceglana Fantazja 's realizations bring authenticity and a clear material structure to interiors.

Walls made of materials offered by Ceglana Fantazja fit well into projects inspired by industrial or loft architecture, but they are also increasingly appearing in more minimalist arrangements. In addition to its aesthetic qualities, brick also helps to diffuse sound in a room. Thanks to this, Ceglana Fantazja 's solutions combine the natural look of the material with its functionality.
