I'd say: go with the wood panel idea, you can get some thin plank or a decent looking piece of ply cut to size for the walls of the hole, sand it lightly and varnish/oil it to make it look a little nicer and polished.

Then surround the edges of the laminate flooring above and the ceiling below with with edging profiles like this:

You can probably find brass, wood or black ones depending on what you think would look nice.

Personally, I'd go with wood edging strips stained/varnished to match the siding wood and the upstairs flooring, but it's not my home - you do you and make it your own.
