I have one oversized couch and chair, a large foamchair, and a 6' x 8' area rug and lots of pillows. I need suggestions on what else to do. Even though it is the "man room," my wife does go down there and we have friends over so I can't put those wierd looking foam things around the room where they are visable. I don't have a problem with bass boominess but when you clap it echoes.
I was going to replace the rug and make it a little larger but what type of pad should I put under it to help? I'm also putting a 5' long painting on the wall and was hoping that might help a little because it is on canvas. Are there things you can hide in the room that would help? Thanks for any suggestions!
The posted links show some nice materials. You could probably make something like them yourself, or the wife could help make it if she sews?
Unfortunately your painting will not help at all, too thin.
Ask your wife what would be acceptable to her. Show the links to her.
