Improve acoustics

Improving acoustics in your home? 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? There's a good chance that your acoustics are not up to par. Don't worry — with a few smart adjustments (and a nice Piece of Art on the wall) you can easily solve this.

Why does it sound so hollow?

Many modern interiors contain hard materials: a concrete floor, high ceilings, a leather couch or minimalist furniture. Beautiful? Certainly. Good for the acoustics? Unfortunately not. Sound bounces back and causes an annoying echo.

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 decoration (curtains or pleated blinds work wonders).
🛋️ Create corners in the room – this interrupts the sound route.
🌿 Put down plants – they break 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 fibres with an open structure. As a result, sound is not reflected, but absorbed. The sound waves disappear into the artwork and with them the reverberation.

✔️ Durable material
✔️ Ready to hang immediately
✔️ Beautiful and functional

Where do you hang an acoustic artwork?

The best place? A large, bare wall where the sound can play freely. Think of:

The wall behind the couch
The dining room wall
A home workplace
The hall or staircase

The larger the work, the better the effect. With one large work or a set of several pieces, you not only improve the acoustics, you also add atmosphere.
