home theater in living room

Hi everyone. What are some good DIY or affordable solutions to improve the acoustics without making the room look cluttered? Any recommendations on materials to stop echoing would be really helpful. Thanks!

HI! There are several affordable and DIY options. You can add area rugs and curtains to absorb sound, which will help reduce the echo while keeping the room cozy. Acoustic panels made from fabric or foam can be strategically placed on walls, and you can even make them yourself to match your decor. Bookshelves with books or decor can also act as sound diffusers, breaking up the sound waves. If you want a subtle option, consider adding soft furnishings like throw pillows and blankets to absorb sound without drawing too much attention.

Hope this helps!
