That's a question with alot, and I mean alot, of answers.
Here's a good forum to learn about room/studio design. Left cold - https://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/index.php |

That forum has a TON of info that will take me a long time to sift through. Thanks for the link and a new rabbit hole.
 I was hoping for something more like hard wood walls better than soft wood. Or acoustic panels cancel outside noise(or reflect noise). I'm making these up because I don't know. Just scanning the hive for very general info. No studio, no control room, no fancy speakers. |

Oh yeah, different materials make a difference. But it's like cooking with random ingredients...you don't know what it'll be like until it's all put together. And yes, alot of studios use sound absorbers in strategic locations, mostly to help "tune" a room, knock down reflections, tame certain frequency ranges, ect.
Here's a vid from Ola Englund that touches on why absorbers are used.  OFFICE UPDATE - ABSORBERS And these from Pete Thorn show more of the general "guts" of the studio room he put together.  PETE THORN NEW STUDIO TOUR part 1  PETE THORN STUDIO TOUR PART 2 |

Just use your noodle and observe what is different from room to room.
Generally speaking, it is pleasant to the ear when the reflections from an instrument are evenly dispersed, and take a few seconds to decay. What are the physical differences between the inside of St. Paul's Cathedral and an empty garage? |

From what I can tell, OP, you're not asking a "studio" question.
Recording studios and live music venues are two different animals. Different design approaches, different purposes. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: From what I can tell, OP, you're not asking a "studio" question. Recording studios and live music venues are two different animals. Different design approaches, different purposes. Correct. Right now I am thinking of what I can add to my little room to enhance the sound of the violins. Years from now, when I build a house, I will look at more of a ground-up construction approach. (Though still not a studio, just a room for playing and enjoying music in). |

Look for some used carpet type office partition panels (the narrow ones are more desirable). Then just experiment with their placement.
