I hadn't thought of doing it that way, but yes, that would work. I think with that solution in mind, you can go with whatever looks best to you unless you're going to invest in those drop-ceiling acoustic panels that were linked (or some similar product). I'm not sure how well those work though. My early bad experiences with foam make me a bit skeptical about stuff like that.

I eventually wound up using GIK panels for my room. I've got 4 bass traps and I have 3 acoustic panels mounted to the ceiling above the spot where I record and listen to playback.
