Well today and yesterday I’ve been doing a lot of sorting (with a considerable amount of help from my lovely fiancée). I’ve chucked a load of junk from my bedroom and my office. This has resulted in 2 bin bags of rubbish getting thrown out.
Another interesting consequence has been that my office is now all echoey (if that is a word). So now when I type on my keyboard it sounds like I’m in a small cave. I guess that could be cool sometimes, but for now I’m looking for good suggestions on how to fix it. So far there are two:
- Get more clutter (thanks jimbo)
- Carpet the walls (thanks me!)
- Eggboxes/polystyrene on the walls (thanks jimbo)
- Get a thick rug. Not sure that’d work as there’s really NO floor space. (thanks all the same trj)
- Put a mattress on the desk/bed thing. Loses a lot of storage space. (thanks MaW)
- Wrap myself in carpet/eggboxes/polystyrene/rugs. I like that one! (thanks Mike)

Please add any suggestions you have to remedy this below…
Instead of carpet, you could try eggboxes, or polystyrene tiles. I think accumulating clutter is easiest, though; at least, I seem pretty good at it… 🙂
Get a thick rug.
Hang something material like thick curtains or a patterned piece of cloth on the wall.
Put a mattress on your desk/bed thing. That’ll absorb a lot of excess sound, although it does get rid of a lot of storage space.
Try draping some curtains around the sides of it.
Stop being so bloody picky that’s what I say good grief young people eh you and your music.
Forget the walls… wrap yourself in carpet/eggboxes/polystyrene/rugs.
Now we’re talking!!
