Default How to improve family room acoustics?

Hi!
I have an open architecture house. Family room flows into the kitchen
and into large living room and foyer (two story). In addition the
entire first level has hard floors - hardwood and tile.

My family room has a 42" TV and a home theater system. I would like to
improve the acoustics since the sound echoes even when people talk.
Using microphone for singing echoes even more. I like the modern look
of the open space, but what can I do to improve the acoustics without
compromising the look of the room? I understand that I will not be
able to get a perfect sounding room, but if any noticeable improvements
can be done, I will appreciate your advice.

What are my choices? What would it cost? How much improvement will I
notice?
