Slat wall panels have become the most-requested wall treatment in modern DC architecture. Pannello supplies and installs slat panels in real wood veneer over solid felt backing — same wood library as our cabinets, so an entry wall and a kitchen back-cabinet read as one composition.
Why Pannello
Why our slat panels read better
Most slat panels installed in DC are MDF with a printed wood photo on the face. Pannello supplies real wood veneer over felt — visually warmer, materially honest, and aligns with the same wood library we use in cabinetry.
- Real material
- Sound-absorbing
- Coordinates with Pannello cabinetry

From clients & designers
What people say after living with their Pannello cabinetry.
"Pannello drew our Georgetown kitchen the way an architect would — full elevations, real material samples, no salesperson with a tablet. The chimney chase that we had been trying to hide for ten years is now the most elegant element in the room."
Lauren O.
Homeowner · Georgetown
"The Pannello team turned around our Dupont condo kitchen in four weeks of fabrication and four days of install. Clean, on time, and the finish quality matched what we were specifying for clients in our own design practice."
Marc D.
Interior Designer · Dupont Circle
"We had eight contractors quote our McLean closet program. Pannello was the only one that drew it before quoting it. The drawings became the spec, and what got delivered matched the drawings exactly."

Can slat panels be installed on a ceiling?
Yes — slat panels work beautifully on ceilings, especially over kitchen islands and in entries. We design ceiling installations with the lighting plan to make sure the slats and downlights coordinate.
