Below you’ll find some interesting tips you can use to make your house as quiet as you possibly can. 

  1. Dividing Space

One of the noisiest houses is the one that is open space. You need to find ways to divide these spaces if you will ever reduce noise in your house. Divide the area into smaller alcoves by hanging curtains across the room. 

When you’re hanging curtains, you need to do it strategically to not interfere with the décor. You can also look to place large plants to help you create separate areas in the house. This, too, has to be done creatively and strategically. 

When you choose plants to help you divide space, you will also have clean air around – plants help with that.  It’s all a win in this scenario with plants. 

  1. Cover Surfaces

When you want to get rid of noises, you need to find ways to cover hard surfaces. You can also look for ways you can fill empty spaces. One common item that can quickly help you reduce the noise levels in your house is a carpet on the floor. They may not look much at first, but they can help you drastically reduce noise. The noise that a carpet can help you get rid of is footstep noises. When you’re irritable, even footstep noise may be cause for concern. 

You can also go for the soundproof carpet, which will further reduce noise. These carpets should be stylish too as you don’t want to choose just any. Another option that you can go for is the fluffy rug. 

If you’re building, then the carpet tiles are some of the best alternatives you can use to cover surfaces. This ensures that noises from downstairs won’t penetrate the room upstairs. 

If you live in an apartment, noises from your downstairs neighbors will also be kept out. You have more chances of quiet time at home when you cover up surfaces in your home. 

  1. Soundproofing

There are various ways you can use to soundproof certain rooms in your house. These may be rooms that you want to turn to study or home office. It can also be your bedroom – you want to keep all the noises out while you sleep. 

The first thing you want to do when soundproofing and don’t have money is moving furniture around. It may look like a silly idea, but it works. have your heavy furniture facing the wall that’s next to the hallway. The heavy furniture will absorb all the noise and leave the room silent. 

Next is to go full out and purchase soundproofing room dividers. These need to be the ones with the most fiber, are heavy, and made of suede.

You can also use curtains with the same characteristics as the soundproof dividers to keep noise away. 

Lastly, cover up the space below your doors with a rug or rubber. Still, on doors, you can also upgrade your doors to ones with hardwood. 

  1. Use Furniture

As stated above, you can move around furniture to reduce noise in a particular room. You can do the same when it comes to other furniture. Here, you’ll be combining comfort with soundproofing. The first move is to place the couches strategically. 

When you have the chairs and couches leaning on the walls where the noise comes from, it can absorb the noise. You can also do the same with your bookshelves. You can place the tall bookshelves on the shared wall so that noises don’t come in. 

The next time you shop for furniture, go for the fully-stuffed sofas as they will quickly absorb noise. You can also do the same for other furniture too. 

Noise can ruin your sleep when you get home after a tough day at the office. And when you work from home, noise can be a massive cause for distraction. When looking for ways to make your home as quiet as possible, these are some of the most creative ways you can utilize.
