In the words of Emily Henderson, fluted accents, “add texture without screaming HEY I’M MODERN AND COOL!” and a little goes a long way with this subtle, understated detail. Fluted wall panels fit beautifully into modern, minimalistic spaces where they can take center stage. Tight leading between flutes builds texture and contrast while more spaced out fluting creates a softer, less intense effect.

Including a fluted piece in a space doesn’t mean everything else has to be modern too. Pairing fluting with more traditional features can bring balance and flair to a room. For example, a fluted vanity can be the perfect base to build out a feminine, clean-lined bathroom.
