Music Room Ideas to Enhance Your Experience

Designing a music room can be an exciting endeavor. Whether you’re a musician or simply someone who enjoys listening to music, a well-designed music room can enhance your acoustic experience.

Comfortable Seating

Start with comfortable seating options like sofas, armchairs, or even bean bags. Choose furniture that allows you to relax and enjoy the music for extended periods.

Furniture Covers

Consider the overall theme and style of your music room when choosing sofa covers. Whether you prefer a classic, vintage, modern, or eclectic look, your covers should enhance the musical atmosphere you want. Music rooms can get quite messy, especially if you have multiple people coming in and out with instruments and equipment. Sofa covers are removable and washable, making it easier to clean and maintain your furniture. You can visit Bemz for your favorite furniture cover that you will live to admire.

Soundproofing

If you live in a noisy neighborhood or have close neighbors, consider soundproofing options like acoustic panels, bass traps, and soundproof curtains to minimize noise disturbance.

Inspirational Quotes

Use wall decals or framed quotes from your favorite musicians or music-related quotes that inspire you.

Personal Touch

Inject your personality into the room with memorabilia, awards, or souvenirs related to musicians or concerts you’ve attended. If you love classics, then vintage or retro-style furniture and decor can work perfectly.

Wall Art and Decor

Incorporate music-themed artwork, posters, or wall decals that resonate with your musical interests. This can help set the tone and create an inspiring atmosphere.

Lighting

Pay attention to lighting design. Adjustable LED lights or dimmer switches can create the right ambience for different music-related activities, including practicing and listening.

Royal Academy of Music to Review Artefacts in a Bid to Free Up Space

Staff at the Royal Music Academy have confirmed that the institution will be reviewing the conservatoire’s 200-year-old collection. This move is aimed at freeing up space that will be used for learning at the London premises. Founded in 1922, the Royal Academy of Music holds over 22,000 artifacts

Besides freeing up space, the institution wants to scrutinize artifacts linked to Baroque composer George Frideric Handel who repeatedly invested in the transatlantic slave trade. These include displayed portraits and sculptures of the composer. While most artifacts linked to Handel will likely be disposed of, the institution stated that Handel will not be erased from the syllabus.

Other artifacts that will be put under the lens in the UK’s oldest conservatoire include rare 18th C violins and pianos that have fingerboards and keys made from colonial ebony and ivory. Furniture and portraits of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the son of Leopold who is also linked to the slave trade, will be scrutinized, and probably dumped alongside other problematic artifacts.

So far, the institution has not started the process but plans are underway to start the decolonization process in the next 12 to 18 months.
