A potential problem with such DIY approaches is that you don't know what acoustic reflective properties fabrics you might buy for this application possess. Recipes for DIY acoustic panels written by knowledgable writers have warned that some degree of higher frequency reflection can result from using anything but cloth specifically designed for this acoustic applications. That may or may not be an issue, depending on your situation. Have you looked at all the fabrics Guilford of Maine produces? They've got quite a few very decor friendly fabrics that look better than most photo murals to my eyes (extreme subjectivity of aesthetics admitted.)
I just went to JoAnn Fabrics and picked up some quilting fabrics like this:You can pick your themes and styles of course, but it worked very nicely for me.
Thanks.......and it is working very well for you? I am specificaly looking for the fabric that would be covering panels at the first reflection point.
spoonflower fabric has been tested. See here:http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=20147694#post20147694
You have to be careful with artwork on fabric. We use a process called dye sublimation. Basically the fibers are dyed to the art work. There is no toner or screen printing that would clog up the fabric (not recommended). You have to be very careful, when buying or diying. FYI the machine that does this process runs, I believe over $500,000. But hey some people spend that on there cables alone!! Glenn KurasGIK Acoustics
