It would absorb some sound for sure. Basically anything heavy, flexible and thick will help.

Half the soviet union lived with carpets on the walls, to provide some sound (and little bit of heat) insulation in the crappy commie blocks.

It's not exactly a good solution, but better than nothing.

All interior designers stem from a job where people decorated the castle walls with carpets.

I was thinking decorative carpet and I don't know how many people do this but carpet has the ability to absorb some of the sound. And a decorative carpet may look fine. Remember some folks hang carpets on the wall.

Weird you were down voted.... go figure.
