Love music? Sure you do! Want your passion for music displayed in your home interiors? We have got you covered.
When it comes to designing the home for music lovers and music practitioners, a lot of considerations have to be taken care of. How do you fit a bed, a jamming area, a music system without making the space look overcrowded? How do you make the most of the space available and still keep things compact?
The most beautiful thing about music is how all the different instruments, with a different melody, different players are combined into one masterpiece. That’s somewhat how interiors work as well, it’s the art of combining various furniture pieces, adding a pinch of style in them, mixing it with client requirements, and the chaotic mess of contractors and labours, and there, you have a beautiful looking space.
Music-Themed Home Interior Ideas
Music lovers appreciate from their ears, there are a few masterpieces that please their eyes as well.
Let’s talk about how to design a space that fits the personality and fulfills the needs of a music lover.
Here are a few ideas and tips to help you get started-
1. How to minimise one of the bulkiest pieces in the room?
When you’re living in a city like Mumbai, every time you’re asked to design a space, the first thing that comes to your mind is how do I make this room look spacious. The bed is somehow the bulkiest and an inevitable piece of furniture in your room, an alternative to this is, using sofa-cum-bed, which is basically a sofa that opens up into a bed, with the booming interior industry, there are really good looking options available in the market for a sofa-cum-bed.
You can also use a Murphy bed, which is a bed that folds and becomes a wall, this clears up your entire space, making room for jamming, have music sessions with your fellow music lovers, also creates room for a dance floor!
2. A study desk which is also your piano desk
A study table is a piece of furniture your brain can’t do without, and a piano desk is a piece of furniture your heart can’t do without. However, fitting both into the room might be quite challenging and will occupy a lot of space. The best way to fit the two is by combining them into one, a study table that opens up as a piano desk. It saves space and can also very aesthetic if designed in a minimal way.
3. Thinking about the people next door
As much as you love singing and playing your heart out, it can get really disturbing for the ones staying right next door or next room. The solution to this is introducing acoustic panels and surfaces to your room which can absorb sound. The market has various options to fit your acoustic needs, there are interesting wall panels which can make your acoustic wall look like an accent 3D wall. There are solutions for the ceiling as well.
However, these can get quite expensive, and if you are looking for a pocket-friendly solution, I’d suggest you make rafters on the wall and ceiling, this will create niches which can absorb a little sound, the impact won’t be as much as an acoustic panel, but it is doable. There is also a new paint available in the market, which is silent soundproof paint and absorbs the sound in the room.
4. Giving a statement look to your walls
Walls can look really boring, if not treated right. The industry has various wallpaper options for all the music lovers, it ranges from guitar and vinyl prints to Elvis Presley. There are companies that also customise wallpapers for you. You can highlight one of the dead walls in your room with frames of vintage music posters that are easily available online or posters of your favourite band/singer.
5. Going retro
Buy a vintage musical instrument. It’s an investment that is worth it. It adds to the ambience and is really pleasing to the eye. It can be an old vinyl player, or a TV set, or a Murphy radio. Place it in a way that it catches the eye. You can add planters around it to enhance it even more.
6. Creating a comfortable nook
For some music is a profession and for some it is a hobby. Some people just like to relax after a hectic day, and for some, playing music all day becomes tiring. Whatever be the case, creating a nook in the room specifically for playing/ listening to music is very important to be able to enjoy it at the fullest. It can be a window seat with cushions or lounger with footrest. The way a room feels is just as important as it looks.
