Tip 1. absorb sound in the room provides more peace and quiet
Heavy curtains, carpets, upholstered furniture... Just 20 years ago there were many sound absorbing materials in our homes.
Our modern apartments are flooded with light through large glass surfaces. Carpets and curtains hardly exist anymore. Floors, walls and furniture are kept simple - surfaces are smooth. These sound-reflecting materials reflect sound, creating a disturbing echo. To reduce this echo, sound-absorbing materials can be used on walls and ceilings.
