Elegant Wall Panelling Solution – Gyle, Edinburgh

The Gyle sits on the western edge of Edinburgh, close to the airport and just a short hop from Corstorphine and South Gyle Station. It’s a spot where modern homes meet green space—popular with families and professionals alike. Our client’s home is on a quiet street near Gyle Park: neat, modern, and well cared for.

They had one small issue in an otherwise tidy room—a cupboard door that stuck out awkwardly. They wanted a fix that would keep the space looking clean without losing access.

Our solution? A custom slat wall that completely conceals the door, while still letting it open and close with ease. It’s now a standout feature that blends seamlessly into the room.

The Brief
The client wanted to upgrade the look of the space while keeping the cupboard accessible. Our solution needed to be both smart and stylish.

Our Approach

Material Selection
We chose an oak-effect acoustic slat wall panel—offering a modern finish with the added benefit of sound-dampening properties.

Detailed Prep Work

  • Removed the door’s architrave and a section of skirting

  • Took precise measurements to ensure the panel aligned perfectly while allowing the door to remain functional

Flawless Installation
We carefully installed the slatted panels, ensuring perfect alignment and a seamless finish. The door is now hidden in plain sight—discreet and accessible.

The Result
The corner now blends effortlessly with the room, upgraded with modern texture and warmth. The cupboard remains fully functional but is now visually part of the panelling design.


Need a smart solution for an awkward feature? We bring creativity and craftsmanship to every detail.
