You need your own space to enjoy music, it’s really that simple! What with loud guitar strums and the occasional bang on the drum, without a purpose made garden music room outside, you’re only going to wind fellow family members up.
If you’re an aspiring musician or simply play instruments to kick back and relax, we have explained how to create the perfect garden music room that not only functions well, but also looks the part.
Choose a Suitable Décor
Music is about creativity, so let this flow within your decorative features around the room. Look for ways to express your taste and personality, both of which can help inform musical creations, which would benefit from leaning heavily on you and what makes you tick.
Obvious things would be posters of favourite artists, and even placing instruments on display when not in use. Let’s be honest, nothing strikes more panache than the sight of Fender Electric Guitars sitting imperiously on the wall.
Over the years, music has also evolved a lot, and many people associate both this and interior design to very specific eras. Maybe you’re fond of the 80’s? Or has music been a recent interest?
Make sure designs are made to reflect the period of home design and music you want to form the prime source of inspiration.
Be Clever with Lighting
The idea of creating music can also be seen as rather emotive, so that means lighting, and how this gets generated around the room is also rather important.
Visibility is key, but consider how dimmer settings may get your creative juices flowing better. Find your preference, and make sure this has been considered with all forms of lighting from top to bottom.
Spotlights will be required to give prominence to playing areas, but also consider lighting which seamlessly transitions from bright to dull, should this be a space primarily for lounging and simply listening to music.
Create Optimum Comfort
Any space which aims to encourage creativity needs to make you feel comfortable, otherwise you can’t reach your full potential. First and foremost, keep the room well regulated, so monitor the flow of air regularly, even if that simply means occasionally opening up windows.
Now with seating, there’s clearly two things to consider here. On one hand, somewhere to lounge is necessary, especially if you’re casually strumming a guitar. However, instruments like a piano will require seating which ensures your posture is correct when playing, so in this respect, put practicality ahead of style.
Even though garden rooms provide more space, you still need to be careful about how the room is laid out. Music rooms are likely to be crammed with instruments, so be clever with seating, and by that, we mean placing things neatly in corners, or grabbing hold of things like bean bags, which can be stored away when they’re not needed.
