Unique restaurant installation of Decorative Panelling
Need some inspiration for a natural timber feature wall in your home or commercial space?
Here is a recently completed exemplary feature wall installation made by our good friends at Form At Wood (FAW) who make the beautiful 3D and 2D Decorative Panels we offer in our Collection.
Every interior tells a story and, in this restaurant project, achieving a perfect balance was the key challenge. The timber wall panels needed to match the pre-designed furniture flawlessly – no approximate shades or off-the-shelf finishes. The client envisioned a seamless fusion, where the feature timber wall and furniture felt like a single, cohesive design.
FAW collaborated with Taylor & Taylor Inc, the leading Florida architectural studio behind the design, and Birka, the contractor responsible for execution.



From the start, FAW knew that standard wall panel finishes they offered wouldn’t suffice. The client required custom timber panels that would align perfectly with the furniture’s tone and texture. To meet these expectations, FAW developed a custom timber shade, providing two meticulously selected samples.
After careful consideration, the client chose the ideal finish, which was then applied to 22.3 m² of Diamond 3D Wall Panels (EDGE Series) made in oak. The outcome - a high-impact customised feature wall panel installation that seamlessly blends with the space, enhancing its warmth and elegance.
A partial mirrored ceiling detail visually extended the wood wall further, making the space appear larger, while strategically placed lighting highlighted the custom wood panels’ shapes and shadows, creating a dynamic, sculptural effect.
Note how the LED lighting really accentuates and enhances the surface profile of the decorative panels and highlights the wood grain whilst drawing attention to the feature installation as a whole within the space. Lighting in general typically helps to create a warm natural aesthetic and captivating atmosphere.
