7 Eye-Popping Nanoleaf Design Ideas

What Are Nanoleaf Personalized Light Panels?

Nanoleaf light panels are wall-mounted smart lights that can be customized to fit your home décor, reflect your mood, or integrate with other media like music or movies. They come in different shapes and options including hexagon, triangle, square and mini triangle (see more details below).

This is how they work: You purchase a starter kit that includes seven to nine panels. Then, using the included double-sided mounting tape, you hang the panels and connect them together into any desired layout. The result is an abstract design that lights up with 16 million colors!

What do Nanoleaf light panels do?

Once you’ve got your light panels installed, they work as a light source and an interactive art piece all in one. You can choose from those 16 million colors (except the Elements line that only uses white light). They range in white light temperatures from a warm 1,500 Kelvin to a cooler 4,000 K.

Maybe during a home workout you light them up with energizing orange. Or if you’re relaxing with a book, choose a soft glowing white. Plus, the panels connect to each other and you can choose animations that flow between the panels. The panels can be controlled by touch, the Nanoleaf app on your phone or tablet, or with voice assistants like Alexa.

How do Nanoleaf light panels interact with other media?

Nanoleaf panels don’t just provide light. These smart panels feature a built-in Rhythm music sync, which allow them to react to music. Your Nanoleaf design senses audio and transforms it into a color and light display that syncs to the music in real time. Dance party, anyone?

You can also use the panels to enhance your experience while you’re watching a movie or playing a video game. In Screen Mirror mode, the colors from your screen are reflected on your panels for immersive entertainment. So as you watch orange and red explosions light up the TV screen during your favorite action movie, the Nanoleaf light panels will explode with the same light for an immersive effect.

What are the different types of Nanoleaf panels?

You can choose between four Nanoleaf options to fit your aesthetic and needs. Here’s a quick rundown of each one:

• Elements: The Elements panels are hexagon shaped with a refined wood-grain texture, so they look good on and off. When on, they have a warm illuminated glow. These panels are more for a lamp substitute and geared toward home design customers. They only use cool white or warm white light, no other color options. Price: $250 for a seven-panel starter kit.
• Shapes: The Shapes panels are available in hexagon, triangle and mini triangle. Features include 16 million color options, Music Sync and Screen Mirror. Price: $180 for a seven panel starter kit.
• Canvas: The Canvas panels are square. That allows more design options because the panels can connect on all four sides. Features include 16 million color options, Music Sync and Screen Mirror. Price: $250 for a seven panel starter kit.
• Lines: Instead of solid light panels, the Lines panels are backlit smart light bars. The design options are more intricate but give off less light than the solid panels. Features include 16 million color options, Music Sync and Screen Mirror. Lines also can light up with two color zones per line for more color combinations. Price: $200 for a nine line starter kit.
