Best custom photo acoustic panels


My wife wants some family photos in the living room. I think the room needs some acoustic panels. Luckily I know that some companies offer custom panels with a photo you upload to them. Anybody have experience with this type of application and recommend a particular company over the others? Any bad experiences out there where the photo came out not looking like you’d hoped for? I have very little experience with acoustic treatments and honestly don’t know where to start. 
 

family room is open to kitchen. ~13x18 not including the kitchen (13x24ish). Living room portion has vaulted ceiling sloped only on one side with the peak at ~18ft…kitchen portion ceiling is 9ft. Two large doors/windows on one side of the long wall. Currently wife doesn’t want curtains on that wall. TV and speakers on the short wall far end from kitchen with built-in cabinets. Current speakers are B&W 685 s2’s, which are front-ported but also likely target for a future upgrade. Naim Uniti Star for amplification that unfortunately doesn’t offer room correction. So how much total area should I start with? I can put one between the two windows/doors and several on the wall across from that one. Thoughts, questions, and recommendations appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I found a place a couple of years ago that did this. Reasonable pricing as well.

I can't find the link to it now...

I used acousticsoundpanels.com with good results. What size are you looking for? Are you using your own photo? Just make sure it’s pixel size is large enough for the size you need.

 

ATS Acoustics, Piper City IL, will place any photo onto a canvas for any size sound panel. They can make custom panels or just send you the canvas.

It is best to make the ratio of HxW pixel number to be close to the ratio of the HxW distance. 

I did this myself recently.

I used AudiMute for the panels; uploaded the photos to them and they created the panels. My wife is very happy with them and that's what counts, in the living room!

My space is similar - Kitchen, dining area, living room, all along a line with a peaked ceiling at 20 feet. I need more than the 8 sq ft that I've done so far, so we're looking for photos I can blow up to three by six without losing too much resolution. That's the hard part.
