Country Drive Acoustic Art Panel
From $219.00
Landscapes from quiet places
Georgian Bay at sunrise, a prairie sky after supper, fog rolling in on the coast, a spruce forest the morning after the first snow. These are the places in Canada where things go quiet, so they felt right for art that's meant to make a room calmer.
Every piece is printed on a sound absorbing panel, so besides giving you a view, it soaks up some of the echo in the room.
The pieces
Georgian Bay Morning is windswept pines on pink granite with mist lifting off the water. First Snow is a northern forest the morning after the first real snowfall. Both are murals, big enough to feel like a window.
Prairie Evening is mostly sky, peach and lavender over a thin line of wheat, spread across three panels. For smaller walls, Fogbound Coast and Sleeping Hills are single panels with the same calm feel.
Go wide
Landscapes look best wide. A wall mural turns one into something close to a window you can hang on the wall, and the extra panels mean a lot more sound absorption too.
If a mural is too much for the room, a 3-panel set gives you most of that wide feeling over a sofa or bed.
Questions people ask
Will acoustic panels soundproof my room?
No, and anyone who says so is stretching it. Acoustic panels absorb sound inside the room, so there's less echo and it sounds softer and calmer. They won't stop noise coming through the walls from the neighbours. For that you need building work, not art.
How many panels do I need?
Start with one panel or set on the wall that bounces the most sound, usually the biggest bare one. If the room still sounds echoey, add another piece on a facing wall. Spreading panels around the room works better than putting them all in one spot.
What's the difference between a single panel, a 3-panel set and a mural?
Size and how much sound they soak up. A single panel suits a small wall or a spot over a desk. A 3-panel set is one design split across three panels, made for over a sofa or bed. A mural covers most of a wall in 6 or 10 panels and does the most for a big echoey room.
