Jokes aside, are you recording in there?
no, this time it's only for an office room to improve the noiselevel. We built project and planed prostudios (acoustics primary with a partnercompany) but we never tried just to tame down the reverb tails..

Traps on the ceiling, perhaps some on the walls. I know GIK does traps with prints on them. In case the aesthetic value is high you could go for something like the soundwave products (google Soundwave panel)

Perhaps the Auralex audiotile tickles your fancy.

If the aesthetic value isn't really there, just go with ceiling traps and heavy curtains thumbsup
thank you!

cheers
