How to Design a Room for Someone Who Loves Music

Sheet music can be incorporated into a music-themed room design.

Whether you are a performer or just a fan, having a room in your home designed around your passion for music can provide a relaxing retreat. You can design a room centered around musical tastes in a big way, with themed furniture, or by simply placing a few key accent pieces around the living space.

Things You'll Need

• Musical instruments
• Sheet music
• Album covers
• Retro furniture
• Music posters

Instructions

1. Determine a predominant musical theme. For example, if the individual plays a particular instrument, the room's decor should center around that type of instrument. If it's a certain genre of music or one artist in particular that the individual is partial to, that should be the focus.

2. Select paint colors that will help either soothe the individual so he can perform his music or influence his creative process as he prepares to write lyrics. Something as simple as a black and white color scheme can compliment a piano-themed room, while bright neon colors can help accentuate a room that harkens the musical trends of the 1980s.

3. Place appropriate accents around the room and on the walls. Music memorabilia, music themed posters or artwork, actual instruments or wooden music notes can all be used to complete the room's theme.

4. Search flea markets and antique shops for old instruments or furniture pieces that are either shaped like instruments or symbolize the time period of your favorite music. Families.com also recommends looking for old music stands that can be used as accents.
