[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=EyeCandyOP][quote=Anonymous]Modern looking tapestry or similar cloth hangings? Have a two-story family room with a lot of noise transmission to the upstairs bedrooms, which I’m trying to reduce. Hoping to find attractive wall coverings that absorb sound and don’t look like they’re from the Middle Ages. [/quote]

I think this can be tough to pull off as an amateur. I would also look for ways to add more soft materials to the rest of the room - window/door treatments, rugs, skirted furniture, pillows, plants, lining bookcase bask with grasscloth...before going for tapestry.

The only professional designer I've seen using tapestry recently is Carlos Garcia in the UK. [/quote]

Thank you OP! For making me realize there is no way I can pull those off :-)

I will take your suggestions for the rest of the room. Also perhaps I’ll go for a big canvas with foam panels inside. Any recommended stores for high-quality unique oversized canvas paintings?[/quote]

NP and not a designer but what about a textile with more of an artisan feel instead of a tapestry?  We have friends with a gorgeous quilt made by artists in the south.  Or a textile with a cool pattern from a different country could have a modern feel to it, depending on pattern and color.[/quote]
