Design Details: Highlighting the materials and design elements that shape beautiful homes.
Fluted panels are one of the most versatile millwork details in residential design right now. Defined by their vertical grooves and ridged texture, they add depth and dimension to flat surfaces without overwhelming a space. You'll find them on kitchen islands, bathroom vanities, entryway consoles, and accent walls. The detail works in both contemporary and traditional interiors, and it pairs well with natural materials like stone, wood, and linen. Whether used floor-to-ceiling or as a subtle accent, fluted panels bring a crafted, intentional quality that smooth surfaces simply can't replicate.
