| Our house has a very hard plaster (stucco?) on the walls. As a result we can't have dinner parties because our own voices bounce off the walls so much even we two can't eat in there!
What can I do? We've tried carpet, we've tried putting things on the walls, but short of hanging curtains over the length of every wall I am at a loss! Nothing has worked! Thanks in advance for any advice, The ear-plugged homeowner |

| My kitchen and dining room did this because everything was hard surface. No drapes no rugs etc. Floors are travertine, counter granite. Once I installed drapes, put in 4 upholstered chairs for the tables and a bunch of cushions for the window seat the echo sounds are only bad when we have a huge group in the room. So then I installed a bookcase full of books along one wall and that seemed to take care of it - maybe the paper in the books helps muffle? |
