Installing acoustic panels on a wall but adjacent walls and ceiling are slanted

[Ma009]

I've been considering putting up acoustic panels on one of the walls in the bedroom.

Not being particularly handy, I didn't think this would be a problem for me, but when I started measuring with a level, I saw that the adjacent walls and ceiling are slightly crooked, which led me to realize that this will not be as easy as I thought.

I consulted with a carpenter who suggested I just put some panels in the middle and skip the edges, but I don't think that will look nice. I would prefer they cover the entire wall. It's a small bedroom, I should add, and four panels would cover the whole wall with a margin.

One idea was to try cutting fillers from the same type of polyester mat as the wooden slats are on and use these as fillers on the sides. The carpenter didn't think this sounded like a good idea.

Suggestions?

How much is the difference?
Do you have any pictures of the wall in question? Finish with the damping, which is probably quite easy to cut?

If you can cut fitting pieces from the carpet about 5 in width on each side, there shouldn't be any problems.

The easiest and I believe it will look nice is not to place the panel all the way to the wall/ceiling. Leave about a 5 - 8 cm "frame" around the panels, then the eye won't notice that it's slightly crooked. Then you can consider or try different color schemes on the wall to further trick the eye. Maybe black like the acoustic mat or a completely different color.

Exactly. Alternatively, you can make the black strip wider on each side. Then it should be possible to cut/trim it so that it follows the wall.

It won't be easy or look nice to try cutting the moldings.

If the panel has a black background, then paint the wall black as a frame around it, and as others say, leave a few cm around it so no one will notice this.

I've been considering installing acoustic panels on one wall in the bedroom.

Not being particularly handy, I didn't think this would be a problem even for me, but when I started measuring with a level, I saw that the adjacent walls and ceiling are somewhat crooked. I realized that this wouldn't be as easy as I thought.

Do you have a problem with the room's reverberation?

Or put a list around it like a frame. Type of list can be chosen based on the width of the gap.
