Decorator Fabric

Does anyone have advice on draping fabric from the ceiling, to lower the echoing in a restaurant?

I have heard that the thicker the fabric, the better; is this correct? Something like a velveteen? Should the nap face downward, or does it even matter? I was thinking to attach it at the wall, on towel bars (using velcro) or similar. I have been trying to locate the “how to” on this project, but have been unsuccessful. I am interested to know how this is usually accomplished, professionally; there is no “example” within driving distance for me to “check out”. I am required to be a jack-of-all-trades or problem fixer at my place of employment. It is not possible to hire an interior decorator or acoustics specialist for this project. Help! Your advice will be greatly appreciated!

Sounds reflect off of a hard surface (your current ceiling). If you use a thin material you are defeating the purpose and just going cosmetic.

Thicker fabric is certainly much better and will help to block some of the reflection. It is also beneficial to not try and hang the fabric as a flat surface. Having it drape a little also disperses sound a bit too. The direction the fabric is facing will really not matter too much.

The How to Hang part depends on the look you are going for. You can use various types of wire from home stores. Pool cover wire sometimes has interesting color covers. Rope, cable through bamboo, or buttons that have cord going back up to the ceiling.

Be creative & have fun.
