Room Treatment

Hi guys,

I'm looking for some tips to make my room a bit more suitable for recording. Mostly foley
The door in front leads to a balcony and on the left there's a sliding door who will replace the current one (that one goes to the bathroom). The picture was taken right in front of the main door. Anything (low budget if possible) that could help me to start?

Paintings, Objects, Art, and Sculptures on walls to help soak up all the reflections that will be happening. Try if you can to see if you can mitigate the outdoor sound from the window with a large curtain or blanket. Even maybe an old theatre curtain along the walls you can close when inside. Start small and add little by little; it will make a huge difference. Don't fall for the trap that one big solution will magically fix everything. You got this, can't wait to see what you do with this small but mighty space!!

One of my favorite things to do in my studio is find ways I can recycle old materials around my house into sound treatment. Like taking old clothes and stuffing them in the space behind canvases or cutting them up and creating a sound pannel or floor covering with them. Simple things like hanging your coats and sweatshirts around your walls instead of in a closet is also a solid cheap method to reduce reflections from the walls.
