I hear you on that - your main room sounds a lot like our entire space ;) Hanging sound-absorbing stuff from the ceiling can help a little, but not if your room is a sound-reflecting box. Covering up some of the flat, reflective surfaces helps a LOT more.
Soft furniture (couches & arm chairs), a nice area rug or two, even hanging some framed canvas art (not behind glass or plexi) makes a huge difference. Sound absorbing panels get expensive quickly - but they can be worth it IF some of the simple, practical solutions don't improve the echo. This place <http://www.acoustimac.com/categories-products/> has some of the best priced options I've seen that also look really nice! Good luck, let us know what you end up using and what works for you! ------------------ *The #1 mistake in community building is doing it by yourself.* Join the list: http://coworkingweekly.com Listen to the podcast: http://dangerouslyawesome.com/podcast On Thu, Sep 24, 2015 at 10:59 AM, Gretchen Bilbro < [email protected]> wrote: > We have a main room with a concrete floor and plaster walls with high > ceilings.
