See my answer to your other sound question. Additionally, you can use wall/ceiling panels that are decorative, paintable and sound dampening
Use furniture and rugs to absorb the sound.
Upholstered furniture and deeper pile rugs with tight knit will absorb more sound.
Draperies of heavier fabrics and 2.5 to 3x the width of windows will absorb more sound.
Cork is an excellent sound absorber but should never get wet.
