Help me design a room!

[planet10]

I've got a Modi and Loki on back order hopefully they'll get here sometime in the first week of February...

I have heard that Schitt is having some trouble keeping up with things like not receiveing the cardboard boxes they need to put things in.

Yep rayma, one needs a balance of kill, deflect, reflect.

Nice when you can do it just with stuff.

Is the thing on wall C in your drawing a patio door? How high is the ceiling and what is it made of? What are the plans for the floor covering?

It's a 6x7' window.
Ceiling is standard 8' good ol' mid-70's popcorn treatment.
Floor is carpeted, not the best but not the worst, probably going to get a pretty good sized area rug to cover most of the floor.

all cases it is well worth doing the math first

That was the original plan, just stuff, fill the room with lots of stuff and things.

Then the internet happened and I started reading about corner treatments, 6" thick fiberboard panels, diffusers, and all the other things I should spend money on.

Now it's, plan A, do I treat the room first and put the stuff and things in afterwards? Or, plan B, fill it full of stuff and things and do treatments, if needed, to make it work? I think I'm going with plan B.

The main thing to worry about is, if you clap your hands sharply in the room and hear a lot of slap echo,
that will need some significant room deadening (drapes, etc.).

The room currently has an old junk couch a wingback chair, nothing on the walls except 2 giant mirrors, to be removed, and some really thin drapes over the windows.

When doing the clap test it has what I perceive to be a fairly sharp echo.

Plan B. Plan A is cart before the horse.

Plan B. The plan A makes no sense.

Revisit the slap echo after the mirrors are removed.
