Vecho ARTFRAME lets you hang a gallery wall that also works as an acoustic panel. Each piece pairs a Vecho panel with a natural solid wood frame, so the wall reads as art first and as sound control second.

Designers know the tension. A bare wall feels unfinished, yet a wall of framed prints does little to soften a noisy room. In a reception area, a meeting room or a lounge, hard surfaces already reflect voices. More frames do not change that.

ARTFRAME offers another route. This guide covers the sizes, colors and layouts to plan, and how to pair the solid wood frames with your timber furniture.

What Is Vecho ARTFRAME?

ARTFRAME is a decorative acoustic wall panel from HighPoint. The panel is made of Vecho, a 100% recycled polyester (PET) material, and it sits inside a natural solid wood frame. A bevelled pattern adds a little relief to the surface, so each piece looks crafted rather than flat.

HighPoint describes ARTFRAME as combining acoustic dampening with aesthetic appeal, and lists it for any space that needs both visual interest and acoustic comfort. Because it arrives as a finished, framed piece, you can place it the way you would place art. Group it, space it and mix the sizes.

Planning the Gallery Wall: Start With the Space

A good gallery wall starts on paper, not on the wall. Follow these steps.

1. Measure the wall. Note everything already there: doors, switches, light fittings and furniture.
2. Choose an anchor. Pick the piece the group will relate to, such as a credenza, a reception desk or a sofa.
3. Decide the overall shape. A tidy rectangle feels formal. A looser cluster feels relaxed.
4. Cut paper templates. Make them to the real sizes, 440 x 540 mm and 540 x 740 mm, and tape them to the wall. Step back and adjust before you commit.
5. Keep the gaps even. A tight, even gap makes the group read as one piece.
6. Set the height. Center the group around eye level, or relate its lower edge to the furniture beneath it.
7. Confirm mounting. The product page does not list mounting details, so check them with the HighPoint team before installation.

Five Gallery Wall Compositions

Not sure where to begin? These five layouts cover most briefs.

• The grid: four or six frames of the same size and color in an even grid. It is calm, formal and easy to specify. It suits boardrooms, reception walls and corridors.
• The mixed-size cluster: Medium and Large frames together, aligned on a shared center line or edge. It feels curated and relaxed. It suits lounges and co-working areas.
• The quiet mix: a restrained blend of Flaxen, Nigiri and Iron Grey in one family of tones. It is gentle and sophisticated. It suits quiet zones and executive floors.
• The single accent: a mostly neutral wall with one Crimson Red frame as the focal point. It is bold but controlled. It suits reception areas and brand-led spaces.
• The statement piece: one Large frame, or two side by side, above a sideboard or a desk. It suits small walls and home offices.

Styling the Wall Around the Panels

Frames are only half the picture. What sits around them finishes the look.

• Light: Angled light, such as picture lights or a soft wall wash, brings out the bevelled pattern and gives each frame a little more presence.
• Furniture below: A low credenza, bench or console gives the group something to sit on. Keep a clear, consistent gap between the furniture and the lowest frames.
• Objects: A plant or a ceramic piece on the furniture adds life. Keep it simple so the wall stays the focus.
• The wall itself: A plain, quiet wall color lets the panels stand out. Save stronger colors for the frames.

Choosing Colors: Flaxen, Iron Grey, Crimson Red and Nigiri

ARTFRAME comes in four colors. Each one plays a different role on the wall.

• Flaxen is the warm, light choice. It sits well beside timber and keeps a room feeling soft. Flaxen also appears in the Vecho and Vecho9 ranges, so it can tie a whole room together.
• Iron Grey is the grounding choice. It adds depth to a wall and feels at home in modern offices, next to timber, metal and glass.
• Crimson Red is the accent. One or two frames are enough to create a focal point. Use it where the brand or the mood calls for a strong note.
• Nigiri completes the set. Colors can look different on screen, so compare a Nigiri sample with Flaxen in the real light of the room to see how they sit together.

A simple rule helps: two colors usually look more intentional than four. Use all four only on a large wall, and repeat each color at least twice so the arrangement feels balanced.

Pairing Solid Wood Frames With Timber Furniture

The frame is natural solid wood, so it behaves like another piece of furniture on the wall. That is an opportunity. Decide on purpose whether the frames match or contrast with the timber nearby.

• Match for calm. When the frame and the furniture share a similar tone, the wall and the room read as one composition.
• Contrast for energy. A lighter frame above darker furniture, or the reverse, makes the wall stand out. Keep the contrast clear so it looks deliberate, not accidental.
• Limit the wood tones. Two wood tones in one zone usually look tidy. Three or more start to compete.
• Repeat the wood. Echo the frame tone in a shelf, a desk edge or a door frame, so the wall feels connected to the room.
• Check real samples. Look at the frame next to your furniture finish before you decide. Ask the HighPoint team for samples.

If you like real wood on larger wall areas, the Veneerslat article shows another way to bring timber and sound control together.

Where ARTFRAME Works

HighPoint lists ARTFRAME for any space that needs acoustic comfort and visual appeal. These are some of the places designers can start.

• Reception and lobbies: the first wall a visitor sees. 
• Meeting rooms: a calm grid behind the head of the table, and a quieter room for calls.
• Executive offices: a single Large frame above a credenza, for a refined look.
• Lounges, cafés and co-working areas: mixed-size clusters that add personality and soften the noise.
• Corridors and waiting areas: a repeating row of frames that guides the eye.
• Home offices: one statement piece behind the desk, which also looks good on video calls.

Practical Tips Before You Order

1. Request physical samples. Check the panel colors and the frame finish in the real light of the room.
2. Plan with templates. Paper templates at the true sizes show spacing problems early.
3. Count by layout. Decide the layout first, then confirm the number of Medium and Large frames and the color split.
4. Ask about mounting. Confirm how the frames are fixed to your wall type.
5. Collect the downloads. The product page lists a catalogue, technical data, certificate, 3D models and texture files. Check which are available, as they help with renders and specification packages.
6. Bring HighPoint in early. A short conversation at concept stage can save changes later.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes does Vecho ARTFRAME come in? Medium is 440 x 540 mm and Large is 540 x 740 mm. Each piece is 40 mm thick including the frame.

What colors are available? ARTFRAME comes in Flaxen, Iron Grey, Crimson Red and Nigiri.

How do I choose between Medium and Large? Use Large frames for focal points and Medium frames for rhythm. Mixing both gives the wall a change of scale, which makes a cluster feel designed rather than repeated.

How many frames do I need? It depends on the wall and the composition. Cut paper templates at the real sizes, tape them up, and count the frames from the layout you like best.

Is ARTFRAME only decorative? No. The panel is made of Vecho acoustic material, designed to reduce noise and background chatter as well as to look good on the wall.

Is it made from recycled material? The panel is 100% recycled polyester (PET), and HighPoint describes the construction as recycled and eco-friendly.

Can I combine ARTFRAME with other Vecho products? Yes. Flaxen appears in Vecho, Vecho9 and ARTFRAME, so an ARTFRAME gallery can sit near a Vecho or Vecho9 wall in the same color family. Read more about Vecho9.

A good wall does two jobs. It looks good, and it helps the room feel good to be in. ARTFRAME lets a single piece do both, with a solid wood frame that fits easily into a timber-led interior.

Start with the space. Choose the composition, pick two or three colors, match or contrast the frames with your furniture on purpose, and always look at real samples before you finalize.
