If you’re someone who plays piano, you know how challenging it can be to get yourself to practice at times. So to make this easier, most pianists want to have a piano in their home so that practicing is more convenient. However, in many homes, it can be hard to know where to put your piano in relation to your other home decor and the overall design of your space. But luckily, a solution can usually be found.
To help you with this, here are three tips for incorporating a piano into your home design and decor.
Choose The Placement Carefully
Before you bring a piano into your home, you’ll need to think carefully about where you should place this instrument. Pianos, like most instruments, need special care in order for them to be well maintained. You can’t just put them anywhere in your home and expect them to stand the test of time.
Generally, pianos should be kept in a space where the climate is well controlled. You’ll also want to be careful about how much sun exposure your piano gets. If the space around your piano gets too humid or there’s a lot of direct sunlight, it could affect the sound and look of your piano. Along with this, you’ll also want to set your piano in a place where there’s low foot traffic so that the piano doesn’t get bumped into too much or used as a coaster for people’s drinks.
Make It The Focal Point
Once you’re sure that you’ve found a room or a space in a room that will be safe to situate your piano, you then have to decide how you want the piano to look and feel in the space.
For many people who love playing piano and have the space for their piano of choice, making this instrument the focal point of a room just makes sense. To do this, you’ll want to make sure that you leave space around your piano and that you decorate the rest of the room to match this piece. If it’s a higher-end piano, make sure you use higher-end furnishings to finish the decor of the space and reflect the quality of the piano that’s the center of the room.
Use It To Fill Empty Space
Sometimes, a piano may not be the sole purpose of the room that it’s in. In this case, you should try to look around your home for some negative space that your piano could fill for you. This might include a corner that you’re not using, the space under your stairs, and more.
If you want to better incorporate a piano into your home, consider implementing the tips mentioned above to help you in doing this successfully.
