Not Just Behind the TV
Slat walls aren’t just trendy—they’re timeless when done right. Whether you’re after clean contrast or subtle warmth, we handle the design, install, and finish from start to photo-ready.
TV Feature Wall
Wood slats behind a mounted TV create a clean, modern backdrop that eliminates the "TV floating on a bare wall" problem. The most common slat wall application.
Bedroom Headboard Wall
A slat wall behind the bed adds warmth and architectural interest. Can extend floor to ceiling or be contained to the headboard area.
Entryway Statement
A slat or fluted panel wall in the entryway makes a strong first impression. Often combined with a floating shelf or hooks for function.
Office or Den
A slat wall behind a desk adds visual depth to video calls and creates a professional, intentional backdrop.
Dining Room
A wood slat or fluted panel wall in the dining room adds warmth and architectural texture that elevates the space for entertaining. Pairs well with a statement chandelier.
Hallway or Corridor
A narrow hallway with a slat or fluted panel treatment on one side turns a pass through space into a design moment. Creates rhythm and shadow in an area that usually gets ignored.

Precision You Can See
A slat wall looks simple on Instagram. In practice, it requires precise spacing, level mounting, and clean transitions at ceiling and floor. One strip off level and the whole wall reads crooked. We build slat and panel walls with the same prep standards we apply to every other surface. The backing is level. The spacing is consistent. The finish is clean.

What Is a Wood Slat Accent Wall?
A wood slat wall uses evenly spaced vertical or horizontal strips of wood mounted to a backing panel to create a textural, dimensional accent surface. The spacing between slats creates shadow lines that shift throughout the day as the light changes.
Slat walls can be painted to match the room, stained for a natural wood look, or finished in a contrasting tone for maximum visual impact. The effect is architectural and modern. It turns a flat wall into a design feature.
Riot also installs fluted panels (routed MDF with vertical grooves) and traditional board and batten for a more classic look.
