Reducing the echo.

2 years ago

We have a lovely airy extension to our house which has created a large kitchen/dinning room and an extended sittingroom. As part of the renovation we have underfloor heating in a concrete floor and a Karndean flooring, which extends through the whole ground floor. And a lot of glass. We love the airiness in the spring, summer and autumn, but in the winter the rooms feel echo-y and in need of something to reduce this. We have curtains and cloth blinds and a couple of rugs, but don't want to impair the underfloor heating capabilities. What would others suggest to reduce the echo?

    The fluted panelling that’s been on trend for the last few years is acoustic. Not sure if this is your style?

    Fleshy leafed plants and books also help. Cork is also a great insulator. I think (!) you can find some in the style of art but again may not be your thing
