Sound Damping Need some advice!

[Xplod2064]

I wasn't sure where to post this..

 

Hello all I am wanting to somehow improve my sound damping in my room but due to having wallpaper it is becoming a task. Previously I tried a particular command strip on the wallpaper when I was running my Ethernet cord and sometimes it would rip the wallpaper, I can't really find and decent ideas for my situation.

Also I am renting so I want to avoid as much damage as possible.

 

Any help is much appreciated!!!

Can you use nails at all? What about in the ceiling?

 

I would hang some thicker blankets

I would probably not use any nails because the roof and walls are in pretty good condition I don't mind spending some $ if I can get less damaging approach idk.

What type of material is the ceiling? Is it coated with that popcorn stucco?

Sounds like a good time to consider if you actually like the wallpaper and need to maintain it or if you'd be better off just ripping it down, painting, and then using normal methods.  I guess you'd have to ask the owners or whatever but they might be in favour, you never know.

Does your LL not let you hang things on the wall?

I can hang things on the wall but not to go overboard and have holes or rips everywhere.

You have crown moldings, and I'm going to guess they're face nailed. If they're nailed so that the wall is the securing surface, you might have enough space and play in the upper part to insert thin shims. Some sheet metal and a little fabrication work and you could create hanging points for fabric or decorative blankets. If you do cover most of your walls with such hangings, invest in some spray flame retardant, because otherwise those are considered a pretty significant fire hazard.
