5 IKEA Hacks to Upgrade Your Acoustic Wall Panels

Acoustic panels are great for reducing noise, but they often leave a plain, lifeless wall behind. That’s a shame — because with a few clever IKEA hacks, you can transform that flat surface into something stylish and functional.

At WallTune, we help make spaces both more beautiful and more practical. We dress up “bare” acoustic panels so you don’t get lost in endless straight lines, but instead enjoy a warm, organized wall. With our special mounting solutions, you can easily attach popular IKEA accessories* to your panels — no drilling, no hassle.

Best of Both Worlds

Combining acoustic panels with IKEA accessories gives you the best of both worlds:

Sound comfort for a pleasant work or living space
Affordable, trendy IKEA products to make your wall practical
Easy installation with smart WallTune mounts — no damage to your panels

This turns a plain sound-absorbing wall into a true eye-catcher that’s both beautiful and useful.

1. Shelf Holders — MOSSLANDA, MALMBÄCK & BERGSHULT

Nothing brings a wall to life like a simple shelf for photos, plants, or art.

MOSSLANDA – The popular picture ledge with a small groove that keeps frames and prints in place. Perfect for adding personality.
MALMBÄCK – A minimal display shelf that’s great for books and accessories.
BERGSHULT – A classic shelf available in various sizes and colors, ideal for décor or extra storage.

With WallTune brackets, you can mount these shelves securely to your panels — no screws, no holes. Add both style and function while keeping the acoustic benefits intact.

2. Organizers — IKEA UPPDATERA

Messy desk? The UPPDATERA series from IKEA keeps everything organized.

From cable trays and pen holders to storage bins for small accessories, UPPDATERA is designed to keep your workspace neat. Using WallTune mounts, you can attach these organizers directly to your acoustic panels — creating a quiet, clutter-free zone that helps you stay productive.

3. SKÅDIS — The Ultimate Pegboard System

The SKÅDIS series is the ultimate hack for flexible, creative walls. This modular pegboard system offers countless accessories, such as:

Clips
Shelves
Containers
Magazine holders
Hooks & racks

With our mounting solutions, you can install SKÅDIS boards directly onto your acoustic panels. Keep tools, craft supplies, or office essentials within easy reach, all while preserving sound absorption and creating a clean, organized look.

4. Shoe Rack — IKEA SKOSTALL

A surprising but clever hack: use the SKOSTALL shoe rack for extra storage. Perfect for entryways, studios, or offices where you need to keep shoes or gear neatly organized.

Our brackets let you attach SKOSTALL securely to an acoustic panel without causing damage. It’s a smart way to add function to an otherwise empty wall while keeping everything neat and sound-friendly.

5. Lighting — IKEA NYMÅNE

Lighting sets the mood and makes the texture of your panels stand out beautifully. The NYMÅNE series from IKEA offers sleek wall lamps, spotlights, and ceiling lights that work well in modern or Scandinavian interiors.

With WallTune mounts, you can attach these lights cleanly to your panels. No messy drilling or visible wiring. Create a warm, inviting atmosphere that’s both stylish and practical.

Simple, Damage-Free Installation

Installing with WallTune is surprisingly easy:

Pick the IKEA accessory you want to use.
Place our specialized brackets on the acoustic panel.
Click or screw the IKEA product onto the brackets. No drilling into walls or panels required.

The system is strong enough for most common IKEA accessories, yet flexible if you want to change or expand later. Perfect if your style or workspace needs evolve.
