Improve acoustics
Improving your home's acoustics? Here's how to do it smartly.
Are you bothered by reverb or a hollow-sounding room? Do you hear every laugh, footstep, or child's voice echo three times? Chances are your acoustics aren't up to par. Don't worry—with a few clever adjustments (and a beautiful piece of art on the wall), you can easily fix this.
Why does it sound so hollow?
Many modern interiors feature hard materials: a concrete floor, high ceilings, a leather sofa, or minimalist furniture. Beautiful? Certainly. Good for the acoustics? Unfortunately, not. Sound bounces back and creates an annoying reverb.
7 tips to improve acoustics:
-
🪴 Add soft materials: such as rugs, curtains, fabric furniture and cushions.
-
🖼️ Hang acoustic wall art — like our felt artwork.
-
🪟 Use window treatments (curtains or Roman shades work wonders).
-
🛋️ Create corners in the room – this interrupts the sound path.
-
🌿 Place plants – they break up and absorb sound.
-
🪑 Choose upholstered furniture instead of hard materials.
-
🔄 Experiment with the layout – sometimes a small shift makes a difference.
How exactly do our artworks work?
Our acoustic artworks are made of PET felt: compressed plastic fibers with an open structure. This means that sound is not reflected but absorbed. The sound waves disappear into the artwork, and with them, the reverberation.
✔️ Sustainable material
✔️ Ready to hang immediately
✔️ Beautiful and functional
Where do you hang an acoustic artwork?
The best spot? A large, bare wall where sound can flow freely. Consider:
- The wall behind the couch
- The dining room wall
- A home workplace
- The hall or staircase
The larger the piece, the better it works. With one large piece or a set of several pieces, you not only improve the acoustics but also instantly add atmosphere.
