Music Room
A music room is defined by acoustic control, durable surfaces, and seating arranged around the instruments. Typical finishes include timber, upholstered panels, rugs, and sometimes glass or metal accents, with the instrument itself often becoming the focal point. The palette is usually warm and subdued, so the room supports listening, practice, and performance without visual distraction.

What defines it
Timber, acoustic panels, wool rugs, upholstered seating, glass, and metal details are common.
Usually warm neutrals, muted earth tones, deep blues, charcoal, or soft monochromes to reduce glare and keep focus.
Works well with built-in storage, display shelving, good lighting, and sound-isolating doors or wall treatments.
