Another potential pitfall is the new acoustics that come with very open spaces. With fewer walls and sometimes higher ceilings, homeowners may experience issues like echoing or cross-room conversations that sound garbled and less crisp. “The easiest way to address this is with the right window treatments and floor coverings,” says Kati Curtis, ASID, LEED® AP, principal of Nirmada Interior Design in New York, N.Y. “Softer materials can absorb sound yet not detract from the open, airy feel of the space.”
