fwiw

on the rug side - you can get good quality sisal rugs that don't have 
any gassing side effects - with one caveat:
I have pets - they puke, poop and pee from time to time and it is 
HIGHLY recommended that you get sisal that is dyed dark.... let your 
imagination fly.....

I should also mention that horn players spit.....

sisal does not clean that readily - so choose a color that won't show 
stains

As for ceilings and walls: I have had very good results with common 
quilting cotton.

takes the ping out of your drywall and is quite easy to tack up with a 
staple gun.

Not exactly the approach you would take to design a room with bass 
traps and odd angles etc - but both of these are fine for taking 
excessive bounce out of the room.
