Do you have to pay attention to anything?
Or can I just have photos printed on canvas at any online shop?
Because I also have an acoustic problem in almost every room in my new building.
I want to counteract this with curtains and canvases.

One of the two stretched canvases can be seen at the top in #6,584, page 1098.
We have 2 pieces on the ground floor, about 150 cm high and 91 and 55 cm wide.
Even those two have at least broken the – I'll call it reflective "ping-pong hall" – sound reflection.
That's the principle, breaking sound reflection with fabric (as curtains and carpets would also do). The more or larger the fabric surface, the better.

A simple test would be to "pin" (for testing purposes) or hold a fabric sheet or towel on the wall. That should already have an effect.
Final fabric should then be lightfast (which jute, for example, is not).

We specifically ordered linen (from flax, not cotton) from a weaving mill in Ireland.
It is heavier upholstery fabric in blue-green (color "inky Pool", very thick at about 550 grams/m2 – whether lighter fabric works as well, i.e. breaks sound, I can only guess). Canvas with a picture should also work, but it must be sufficiently large. However, we didn’t want a picture motif but pure fabric, solid color.

(By the way: linen production in Ireland is historically a very interesting story!)
