Want to create a space just for music in your home? 

Whether you have a spare room or a little extra space, you can create a stylish space that’s perfect for practicing, jam sessions, or even performing for guests. 

However, before you can start creating the music room of your dreams, it’s important to figure out where you’re going to put your designated music space.

Ask yourself which rooms in your home could potentially be repurposed into a music room, like a spare bedroom or home office.

If you don’t have a full room to transform into a music room, don’t fret! Dedicate a corner or single wall to music and use it to carve out some space for creativity in your home.

Tip #1: Use your instruments as decor

Musical instruments are as visually appealing as their sounds are audibly appealing. 

Display your instruments on a stand or hang them on a wall when they’re not in use. Not only will this make you more likely to pick them up and play them, but it’ll also add an authentic, music-centered feel to the room that makes you feel your most creative while creating a great atmosphere for all who you invite in.

If you’re a pianist and you’ve been struggling to incorporate your piano into your home’s decor, this tip is a great place to start! Instead of trying to make your piano blend in with the rest of your decor, use your piano as the focal point of your room.  

For those creating a music nook, display your instruments in your selected corner to create a music-themed space for yourself. 

 

Tip #2: Create a color scheme

Carefully choose paint colors that’ll help you show off your instruments while creating the atmosphere you’re looking for.

Use blues and greens to create a relaxing, tranquil space or use reds and oranges to add a boost of excitement to your space. 

Using the right colors can help you boost your creativity, feel more comfortable in your music room, and visually connect your music room to the rest of your home.

 

Tip #3: Add music-themed decor

Art is about so much more than beauty and aesthetics—it’s the perfect way to show off your interests and passions.

 And now that you’ve put your instruments on display and picked out paint colors for your music room, it’s time to top it all off with music-themed decor! 

Music-themed decor can help inspire you while you’re composing and motivate you to persevere while practicing a difficult piece. Plus, it helps to reinforce that this room is solely dedicated to music.

Add a few of instrument prints (like this and this) in your music room to boost the ambience and add an extra dose of color to the room. 

If you’re creating a music nook, adding music-themed decor to your corner will help you to create a mental separation between your nook and the rest of the room. You can even make a gallery wall with multiple prints to further reinforce this corner’s purpose. 

When it comes to music-themed decor, the possibilities are endless! You can put up instrument-themed art, photos, paintings of other musicians, and even artistic representations of other items like cassettes, turntables, microphones, and more.

Wrapping Up

If you’ve ever envied those with home music studios, use these ideas to create your very own music room or music nook! By simply displaying your instruments, choosing great paint colors, and adding music-themed decor, you can transform any room into a beautiful music room that sparks your creativity.
