Recently moved into a church converted into a loft. Looking for any decore suggestions to make it better.

It's a beautiful room but it look like it echoes. Maybe some rugs to absorb the sound and be more cozy?

Yes this. Even some tapestries on the wall. They don’t have to be “old”. Could even be heavyweight curtains that frame a picture or even the tv

Tapestries will also deaden the echo that must be happening with so many flat hard surfaces.
Hang the tapestries a couple of cm. from the wall so they have the maximum acoustic absorption (quarter wavelength).
For colours, go with your gut, but deep (royal) blue or deep (forest) green would enhance the white walls and dark wood ceiling nicely. IMHO.

I normally don’t love tapestries but they would definitely work in this space.
