Whether you have a Steinway or a Stratocaster, an upright bass or a piccolo, you have an instrument that enlivens your home with the sound of music- oh, how wonderful! Unfortunately, these instruments can take up space or be awkwardly positioned- which is not so wonderful. However, with just a bit of creativity and maybe some heavy lifting, you can effectively integrate your instruments into the interior of your home. Let your home sing a new song! Let your house live in harmony! Let your space be filled with sound! Need I say more? Didn’t think so. Here are some suggestions to creating harmony between your instruments and your space. Enjoy!
A baby grand in your grown-up loft! The sheer size of this elegant instrument can be an issue when space is limited, but when placed strategically it can actually accentuate the space you have. As seen above, the piano is placed facing outward into the center of the room to keep the space feeling open. Also, the large rug beneath the piano helps divide the space while protecting the hardwood floors.
You
may have noticed the guitar in the previous picture just lounging in an
arm chair: that’s neither safe nor stylish. How about storing your
guitar in a way that you can display it, then play it? Hang your guitar
on the wall and create a dual-media piece of art. Some assembly is
required to ensure that the guitar is secured on the wall, but this
clever storage strategy will save you space and the worry that someone
may sit on or trip over your guitar.
How
about an upright piano in your uptown loft?! Coordinate the bench with
the rest of your room simply by upholstering the top cushion with some
durable, yet design-friendly fabric. You can always store smaller
instruments or sheet music inside the bench to wisely use the given
space. Also, the pair of blue lamps perched like songbirds on either
side of the piano brings light and color into your music-filled room.
