Frozen Lake Acoustic Art Panel
From $219.00
The quiet of a snowy day
Anyone who has stepped outside after a big snowfall knows the hush. Fresh snow really does muffle sound, and that soft, padded feeling is what we were after with this collection. These pieces are the calm side of winter, not the shovelling side.
First Snow is the morning after: dark spruce, white ground, grey sky. Frozen Lake is the afternoon, with one small skater out on the ice and the treeline far away.
Winter nights and warm windows
Winter nights in Canada are long and dark, which is part of what makes the northern lights such a treat when they show up. Northern Lights puts green and violet ribbons over a black spruce forest, spread across three panels.
Then there's the cozy side. Snowy Cabin is a log cabin buried in snow with its windows glowing and smoke going up from the chimney. It's the one to hang if you love winter best from inside, wrapped in a blanket with the snow coming down outside the window.
Cool colours that calm a room
Winter palettes are mostly soft whites, greys and blues, which makes them some of the most restful art we make. They're especially nice in bedrooms, and they brighten up a dark room without adding loud colour.
Each piece is also a sound absorbing panel, so the room ends up with less echo. Pair a winter mural with a rug and some curtains and a hard, bouncy living room gets a lot calmer. That matters most in winter, when everyone is home more and the house gets noisy.
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.
Is winter art too cold for a bedroom?
We don't think so. Soft blues and whites are calming, and pieces like Snowy Cabin and Northern Lights have warm glowing bits that keep them from feeling chilly.
Should I take it down in the summer?
Up to you. Some people swap art with the seasons, but snowy landscapes are calm enough to stay up all year, especially in a bedroom.
