I have been slowly working on my basement for the past few years and I am finally getting close to finished. It's now fully dry walled and tiled with a custom bar. Stereo in place. New-ish to me Cornwalls refurbed and rocking. Now I am down to treatments and decor. All of the furniture is hand me down from the main level living areas. The records in crates will be getting two new bins soon made from plans here.
I just inherited six "acoustic panels" from my dad. He had them in one of his businesses and is selling the building. He couldn't remember where he bought them but said he paid about $1,500 total for them. I want to utilize some of these in the basement. They are 48" x 48". I could cut them in half if needed to fit in some spots (use a curricular saw?). They are covered in a light sage green cloth. I'm not very excited about the color. What is a cost effective way to change these up? I could use some spray fabric dye but that can get expensive. I could cover them with different fabric or tapestries.
Where would you place panels? I don't really have "back corners" with the steps on one side and fireplace on the other. The room is kind of cut in half back/front by some duct work that we framed and dry walled around. Should I place some half panels at a diagonal to bridge the duct work with the ceiling? (If that description makes any sense)
Here are some photos of my room and one of the panels.
