    Examples here

    I’ve done a few with my own photos printed on them, they look like canvas art. Well, they basically are, but also filled with sound deadening insulation.

    I will probably make some myself at custom sizes, it’s basically a frame filled with insulation from the big box store, wrapped in fabric.

    The impact they have is reducing room reverb, which helps a lot for conversation when there are a lot of people in the room.

      Wonder how hard it’d be to take one of those cheaper canvas paintings off amazon or w/e and stuff em with some dampening

      MVL (most valuable lemming) right here.

      I’ll have to look into this. There’s a few spots around my home that I’d like to be less noisy.

      Nice, thanks for sharing, I’ll have a look!

      In the past, I’ve had aspirations to build a proper studio with acoustic treatments from somewhere like realtraps.com. Nowadays, there are VSTs that do a decent job of removing room reverb from a recording, so I’d be less inclined to go all out on expensive room treatments.

      However, less expensive treatments just to make a room more pleasant for conversation would certainly be worthwhile. I also like the idea of making them more decorative like you mentioned.
