How to Decorate Your Music Studio

Music studios are creative spaces where musicians, producers, and even fans of music groups can gather to write, record, and hang out. While professional studio spaces require certain décor in the form of acoustic paneling to ensure production remains tight, many studio owners choose to also include personalized art to set the mood of the studio space.

Whether you hang a custom guitar painting, include neon lights, or utilize a mix of fun music-themed posters, there are plenty of ways to decorate your music studio to make it your very own. Below are some tips to help you start adding your own style:

Hang Up Signed Memorabilia

Signed memorabilia, including photos, posters, album covers, and more can be a fun way to add some excitement to your studio. Many producers have bands sign items when they come through for recording, and these items can serve as a reminder of all of the fun projects you’ve worked on in your studio.

Have Instruments Painted

You might also consider searching out the services of an artist who specializes in custom guitar painting. While you probably don’t want to have an expensive or rare guitar painted by an artist since the instrument might lose some value, you may choose to have a mid-range guitar or bass painted instead.

When you hang up a custom-painted guitar, make sure you use the proper brackets with enough strength to secure the guitar in place. The last thing you need is for a custom-painted guitar to fall off the wall and hurt someone nearby.

Reduce Distractions

While including things like flashing lights and lasers in your studio might sound like a neat idea to recreate the concert atmosphere, keep in mind that you also need to get work done in your studio. Anything that serves as a distraction can take your focus away from writing, recording, and producing.

As such, consider mood lighting instead that can be adjusted depending on what’s taking place at the moment. If you’re done recording for the day and are just hanging out with the band and some fans, more exciting lighting can be fine. When you’re focused on meeting a deadline to finish a mix, tone down the distractions, and let your lighting be an afterthought.
