Music adds ambiance, entertainment and inspiration to any room. Hearing classical Jazz when you step into a dimly lit restaurant can enhance the mood and create a smooth, soothing feeling. However, integrating music into your home’s design isn’t limited to only one of your five senses. You can also incorporate music visually by adding musical instruments to your interior design.
If you don’t know where to start, here are five reasons to use musical instruments as design and style pieces.
When it comes to music, you sometimes have to choose between the hard rock sound of the electric guitar or the delicate, softer melodies of the acoustic guitar. Despite the fact that they are both guitars, these two instruments spark different moods and are usually not played together. When it comes to using musical instruments in your home, you can mix the two styles to create a contemporary, visual feeling.
Sometimes, when people think of the beauty of music, they think of the beauty of the musician. Part of what makes music so beautiful is the equipment it’s coming from. Good music comes from good gear, so why not embrace that gear? Don’t just use the instruments, use the speakers and cords, too. You can place an intricately designed guitar in your home to catch a visitor’s attention or you can use vintage speakers and radios to create a classic vibe.
Studios are notorious for being “cool,” as they are often behind the scenes in musical production. Studios are where the musicians create their music. Do you want to have that? Well, having musical instruments in your home will make your living room feel like the trendiest studio in the biz.
A grand piano in the center of your living room will make a luxurious, glamorous and elegant statement. This, coupled with a grand mirror and a dramatic color scheme will make a bold impression in your living room.
The last and obvious benefit of having musical instruments in your room is having musical instruments to play at any point. Inspiration will always be flowing and jam sessions will be a-plenty.
If music is an important part of your life, consider incorporating music in non-traditional ways throughout your apartment or house design. Not only will your place look trendy, it will truly feel like home sweet home to the music lover.
