I love walking into a room that feels instantly calmer, quieter, and more inviting – the kind of space Joanna Gaines would effortlessly create. Living in the city with neighbors on both sides, true peace and quiet always felt out of reach until now. These Bulletin Board Acoustic Sound Tiles from the Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia collection at Target have completely transformed my space.

Their soft, textured surfaces framed in clean, understated lines absorb excess noise, soften echoes, and even help muffle sounds from my noisy neighbors, so conversations are clearer, music sounds richer, and every corner of my room feels serene and welcoming.

But their appeal doesn’t stop at soundproofing a room. Each panel doubles as a pinboard, inviting you to layer your personality right on the surface. Pin up travel photos, sketches, mood boards, to-do lists, or little notes of inspiration, turning a functional sound solution into a living gallery wall of your life.

Punteha van Terheyden, Head of Solved at Homes & Gardens, shares my love for using pinboards in the home.

'For me, a pinboard is more than just practical – it’s a way to bring personality into my space,' says Punteha. 'I can switch out photos, inspiration, and reminders whenever I like, so my home always feels fresh, personal, and full of meaning.'

The beauty is in the flexibility. Hang them vertically for a modern, gallery-style arrangement or horizontally for a grounded, balanced look. Use both together to create a larger sound-softening statement, or split them up to bring quiet and creativity to different corners of your home.

Whether you want to keep sound contained or block out the noise from next door, soundproofing a bedroom, home office, or media room can completely change the way you experience your home.

After seeing how much quieter my own space became with the Bulletin Board Acoustic Sound Tiles, I’ve gathered a few more of my favorite picks to help you create the same sense of calm.


As our homes take on more of our lives, these soundproof tiles meet the challenge, offering beauty you can see and calm you can feel. They’re not just hanging on your walls, they’re shaping the way you live, in the thoughtful, functional style Joanna Gaines champions.
