add aesthetics, subtract noise: why acoustic solutions don’t have to hinder design
combining modern interior design with acoustic performance
You might be surprised to learn that investing in acoustic solutions doesn’t have to mean compromising on aesthetics. In fact, selecting the right acoustic finish for your space can actually complement and enhance the design, creating a harmonious atmosphere that allows people to thrive.
When it comes to creating modern, premium interiors that sound as good as they look, Oscar Acoustics’ SonaSpray solution is a great place to start. Consider these interior design trends – and discover how our innovative acoustic spray finish range can blend in seamlessly to meet the needs of your next project.
colour theory
One of the standout trends in contemporary design is the use of biophilic hues—earthy tones like forest greens, sky blues and warm browns. By drawing in a natural element, incorporating these tones creates a calming atmosphere that can transform a room.
Neutral palettes featuring beiges, creams and soft greys are another popular trend, offering an understated yet sophisticated look. These shades provide a versatile backdrop that can be paired with metallic accents for a touch of elegance.
Available in a range of neutral tones as well as bespoke, manufactured-to-order shades, SonaSpray gives you the freedom to play with colour in your designs. For those looking to achieve a more dramatic effect, the black finish of SonaSpray is particularly striking; it achieves ideal conditions for lighting control while creating the illusion of infinite ceiling height above suspended ceilings.
sleek finishes, curved shapes
The resurgence of curved shapes in architecture is redefining modern aesthetics. These sleek, flowing lines create a sense of movement and fluidity, adding an air of sophistication to any design.
SonaSpray’s unique, seamless finish follows the contours of the substrate beneath, allowing designers to achieve perfect curves and shapes without compromising sound quality. It conforms to virtually every surface shape and bonds to all common construction materials, for a professional finish in every kind of space.
all about ambience
But it’s not all about looks. The emotional impact of noise in a space can’t be overstated; it affects our mood, productivity and overall well-being.
When a space is acoustically balanced, design elements come to life without being overwhelmed by echoes or distractions. The calm, quiet background supports a more immersive experience, allowing textures, colours and layouts to take centre stage and fully engage the senses. This is especially crucial in crowded, open-plan settings such as offices, where a sense of tranquillity and focus is needed.
The SonaSpray range is designed to meet these demands by effectively absorbing sound and reducing noise levels. This creates a balanced ambience that allows people to focus, connect and thrive.
transform bulky ceilings into elegant, infinity-edge surfaces
Create a stylish, modern space with Oscar Evo-Blade® razor-edge trim. Developed by Oscar Acoustics to address common issues associated with traditional ceiling trims – such as cracking and air filtration – this patented range disguises bulky ceiling buildups, giving them an elegant, wafer-thin appearance.
Evo-Blade®’s minimalist design eliminates the need for traditional upstands, while offering opportunities for modern lighting design. It’s also compatible with a range of configurations, including standard plasterboard, plaster and acoustic sprays like Oscar Elite and SonaSpray, both fire-rated architectural acoustic finishes.
