A music room is all about your love of music, and your family’s enjoyment of the refined musical arts can be a great inspiration for designing the music room. It is important to choose appropriate furnishings for the music room, to enhance the quality of the music and make listening much more pleasurable. Here are five decorating solutions for your music room, in no particular order:

Seating

Seating is important in your music room, as it offers a relaxing place for your family and guests to enjoy the music presented. Choose seating that is appropriate for the d cor, and include tables for setting drinks and snacks for enjoyment during the music presentation. Coffee tables can be made out of old piano benches or similar music-themed items, and these can also be a great conversation starter or ice breaker after the music ends.

Lighting

It is easy to be very creative when you design lighting for the music room. Unusable musical instruments, such as flutes, clarinets, violins, guitars, trumpets, cornets, and even saxophones can be converted into unique lighting for the room. You can find these instruments at very good prices if you shop at thrift stores, yard sales, auction websites, and in relatives’ attics.

Accessorizing

Decorating the room can be as fun and interesting as enjoying the music, so feel free to get very creative with this aspect. You can easily utilize old instruments for decorative accents, and add interesting touches with playable instruments that can be called upon for use if someone else plays. Great examples include a piano, guitar, maracas, bongos, and similar musical instruments.

Do not overlook the room’s acoustics, as these add a lot to your music, and can amplify and improve or make it harder to hear clearly. Solve this problem with fabrics and rugs, or with beautiful music-themed tapestries throughout the room. You could invest in an amplifier or similar sound equipment if your chosen instrument calls for it, to improve the music’s quality and make the event more enjoyable for guests, visitors, family members, and friends who are over to hear you play.

Wall Art

The music room needs to be as classy and sophisticated as the style of music being presented for the most part. For example, if your favorite music is classical, you could use elegantly framed sheet music as appropriate wall art. Not only is it attractive and stylish, but it also an excellent introduction to the music itself. Posters and pictures can also be interesting additions to the music room, depending on the picture and style of music.

Instruments

Finally, it goes without saying that you will want to have the very best instruments on display for your chosen musical instrument. Take special care to have appropriate sheet music or accompanying soundtracks on hand, so that you can entertain guests. Take time for practice, and keep your instrument clean and ready for use whenever you wish to entertain friends or develop your skills. After all, the playing of the instrument is what led you to create the music room so that you can celebrate the music to begin with.
