For interior designers

The piece you chose for how it looks — now with a number for what it does.

A felt acoustic panel, a heavy curtain, a thick rug — you already reach for these because you know, by eye and by ear, when a room needs softening. Echo doesn't change that instinct. It gives it a number: exactly how many seconds of reverberation that choice takes off, so it's something you can put in a spec and a client can understand, not just a feeling you were right about.

Know what the panel is really doing.

Not just how the felt looks.

Choose finishes with the acoustics in view.

Compare options before anything is ordered.

Branded, plain, no jargon.

Not sure this is the right page? Answer three quick questions

Justify the spec

"It looks right" and "it looks right, and it takes the room from 1.8 seconds to 0.7" land very differently with a client who's asking why the finishes budget went up.

Compare options honestly

Wall panel, curtain, upholstered seating, a rug and underlay — Echo sizes and predicts all five for the same room, so a material choice can be made on how it looks and what it does together, not one after the other.

Catch it before install

Run the room before the finishes are ordered, not after a client says the private dining room still isn't right once the felt panels are already up.

Keep the look, fix the sound

Same room, same palette, softer sound

Scroll through an illustration of one styled room as finishes go in, and see which surface each one quietens.

Walk through the room

1
Stone floor, plaster walls, big glass. The amber paths are the room's own voice coming back off every hard surface. Illustration: about 1.8 s.
2
Oak slats over felt. They read as joinery, and the amber paths that used to bounce off that wall fade.
3
A heavy velvet curtain on the glass, a wool rug under the lounge. Softer to look at, softer to hear.
4
Felt fins hung in the ceiling's own rhythm, then big plants. Each one takes a little more of the amber.
5
The design has not changed. The illustrative echo time is now about 0.7 s. Take the controls and swap finishes yourself.

Rooms where this comes up most

Restaurants and private dining, boutique retail, hotel lobbies and bars, co-working floors — the rooms where acoustics has to be solved without it looking like acoustics has been solved. See what's already been worked through for each of them.
