Attractive room treatment is it possible?


I have in the past while searching on the web wondering why there is not a more attractive room treatment out there? I have in the past like many experimented with different treatments such as RPG,Sonex,Roomtunes and yes the diy treatments. I have also read audiophiles placing huge roles of toiletpaper in the corners for tube traps.I for one have always been somewhat embarresed with inviting people to listen because of the "NUT" factor with room treatments. I was once made fun of by a ex when she told her friends I was living in a padded cell "Sonex on the walls" Even using corner traps way up high made some eyes role around. I am now at the point that I have not treated a room in years and the major reason is the riducule factor. This is a major reason for avoiding this important part of sound production. I am wondering how many of you feel the same and have you tried to mask the treament by trying in someway to make it more attactive looking, if this is possible? Thank you all for reading this and I hope I hear and receive some good feedback. I just wish a Van Gogh or a Picasso would take up the hobbie of room treatment.

There are some "stealth" (relatively invisible) tweaks from Machina Dynamica which I have found excellent, but instead of the rolled eyes of your listening room visitors, you may have to disregard the derision of some naysayers here on Audiogon.
Even though it makes no conventional sense, check out the Brilliant Pebbles for room corners, the Clever Little Clocks for in-home placement (even though neither of mine actually tells the correct time), Tru-Tone duplex covers, and in my experience, the single greatest tweak for the money: Teleportation.
As any potential improvements relate to what you already hear, good and bad, this may require a bit of private email communication to learn how your room compares to those of satisfied users of any room treatments, whether they be conventional, esoteric, or even otherworldly.
I have also been in many conventionally treated listening rooms, and conventional treatments certainly work well, but "attractive" is not usually the best descriptive word for what has been placed in the room to optimize the sound.
The more esoteric room treatments can provide further benefit, even after the conventional, physically obvious, treatments have started to make things better.
The perception of sound is such an individual experience, and rooms so different, only rarely have different Audiogon members ended up owning exactly the same components, or equipment tweaks, let alone implemented the same room treatments.
I suggest the less visible ideas, if you are determined to avoid any disparaging comments from the non-audiophile community. Then you only have to deal with audiophile references to The Emperor's New Clothes. But, your ears will thank you, which is the best outcome.

Some have had success with Acoustic System resonators. I have no personal experience, but you might want to look into it.

Listener, which size of Brilliant Pebbles would you
recommend for a mid-size room. I am concern about 1st reflactions as well. How do I go about that???
I saw a post about a company that makes poster pictures with panels. I think you can choose an image. It was MrStark that posted this link.

I have a installed a huge log fireplace that acts behind the listener as an RPG skyline diffuser and bass trap - is it as good as the real McCoy...probably not but for sure it is better than nothing!

If you are creative you can do a lot.
