I'm starting to get my living room ready to be a home cinema and I've noticed the room has a hell of a lot of reverb. I've attached a floor plan of the room. I think the reverb is mainly cause by the two opposing walls which have nothing on them to break up the echo. When I clap in the room the reverb lasts for more than a second, I reckon!
I did a test of just putting some cushions from the sofa randomly against the walls and it made a huge, night and day difference. When clapping it's much more like a normal room.
I've looked up some things about acoustic treatment and first reflections etc. but it seems like this room needs some even more basic than that. Should I get some kind of acoustic panels and hang them on the two opposing walls? Or would "proper" acoustic treatment (ie. with the first reflection placement etc.) also take care of this reverb?
