Noise is a daily occurrence that we all endure to a certain degree from noisy kettles, screaming children, loud TVs and the deafening thud of a bass. There’s sometimes little peace in ones day. Ongoing excessive noise is not only aggravating it can actually be harmful to your ears and has a significant impact on the way our spaces work in the home.
When it comes to residential design, the acoustics, (the way in which the structural characteristics of a space relate to how well sound can be heard) although a key design feature, are rarely considered during the building process and sometimes only tackled during a renovation.
Soundwaves seep through doors, windows, ceilings and cracks, so how do you reduce unwanted sound from affecting your day to day activities?
Hard flat surfaces tend to bounce sound waves around, sometimes creating a lasting echo effect if the surfaces are parallel walls. The softer and less uniform the surface, the less opportunity sound has to bounce off. Textiles, including drapery and upholstered furniture and furnishings not only deliver a design aesthetic they also play a significant role in the absorption of sound.
However not all textiles have equal sound absorption qualities however. The level of sound absorption is dependent upon a textile’s weight, composition, and/or construction. Generally (due to the large vertical mass) drapery provides the main textile source of sound absorption however, there are several other ways to achieve this.

Is this Christmas going to be a first for you since someone you loved passed away?
Perhaps, this year, marks two or more years since your loved one left this earthly life?
One thing you might like to do is create a tradition with them in mind.
Possible ideas are:
* set a place for them at the table
* say a prayer of thanksgiving that they lived
* make a dish and give it their name "Noeline's Desert"
* collect some berries because that is what they used to do
- "Keith's Berries".
* listen to their favourite music
* go for a walk or have a game with them in mind because that is what they liked to do
The memory of a person no longer with us can be a powerful aid in coping with our grief.
Strength and Peace be yours this Christmas.
With Kind Wishes to you all
Rhonda
