Acoustic paintings: resolving reverberation in
the living room for more peace and comfort
Many modern living rooms are sleek and minimalist, with large windows, wooden or concrete floors, and smooth plastered walls. While these materials are visually appealing, they have one major drawback: they reflect sound. This creates reverberation and echo, making conversations less pleasant and making television or music sounds harsh and disturbing. This can significantly reduce living comfort. Fortunately, there are stylish solutions using acoustic felt artworks to effectively address reverberation in the living room.
Why reverberation is disturbing in the home and how a sound-absorbing work of art can help
Poor acoustics have a greater impact than is often realized. Sound that continues to resonate in a room causes fatigue and a feeling of unrest. Common consequences of reverberation in the living room include:
- Conversations that are difficult to understand
- Faster headaches or fatigue
- A cold, restless atmosphere
- Less relaxation in the room where you want to relax
A living room should be a place where you feel comfortable, alone or with others.
Acoustic artwork; a beautiful balance between aesthetics and functionality
Acoustic paintings, or sound-absorbing art, offer an effective solution without detracting from the interior as blank panels can. Sound-absorbing paintings are constructed from a special acoustic fabric combined with sound-absorbing felt. The material absorbs sound waves and prevents them from bouncing off hard surfaces. The result is immediately audible: less echo, more tranquility, and a more pleasant sound in the room. The great advantage of acoustic art is that it combines functionality, design, and aesthetics. Instead of visible panels, you can choose decorative, sound-absorbing photo art that
perfectly complements your interior design style.
The correct placement of acoustic wall art for optimal effect
The placement of an acoustic artwork determines the final result. Effective locations include:
- Behind the couch
- On large, empty wall surfaces
- Opposite windows or other hard surfaces
The degree of sound absorption is indicated by the NRC value. One large painting can be sufficient for an average living room. In larger or open spaces, combining several works can create an optimal effect. Our art on acoustic felt has an NRC value of 0.75, which means that 75% of sound waves are absorbed.
