Want to know the must-haves for music studio furniture? Recording in style is simple once you have the right setup. Depending on the size of your home studio, there are many ways to fit in the essentials while also giving you a chance to show your creativity.

Here are some ideas to inspire design and furniture choices for your music studio:

Essential furniture pieces for your studio

If you're a professional musician, producer or even just a hobbyist, it's important to think about your studio furniture the same way you would do a home office. After all, if you spend a long time in a chair or at a desk, it's crucial to have the right size and features for comfort and functionality.

To help you get started with decorating a studio space, here are some of the basic furniture pieces you'll want to have:


  • A desk with plenty of room for your computer & other components.
  • A comfortable, ergonomic chair.
  • Storage, shelving & additional surfaces for equipment.

For the minimalist

If you prefer a minimalist approach to home studios, you can go a long way with a studio desk and a powerful laptop. Laptops are ideal for recording and mixing in a small space, and also help you avoid desk and cable management clutter.

Reuse old equipment

To add some style to your studio, consider turning old equipment into decor or furnishings. For example, an old amp could make an excellent base for an accent table. Give retired or broken instruments new life by displaying them as art pieces to add a vintage, musical vibe to your space.

Create a listening room

It can be helpful to surround yourself with sources of inspiration. To that end, consider your music studio to be a listening room combined with a creative space. What better place to proudly display your record or CD collection, or hang up posters of your favorite musicians? 

Creating the ultimate home music studio doesn't have to be complicated. When choosing furnishings, start with the basics and remember to combine functionality with your own personal style choices.

I'm a full time Realtor with over 30 years of experience yet young enough to embrace today's ever-changing scope of marketing and technology. Having grown up in Connecticut and moved many times (too many to count!) I can empathize with today's buyers and sellers. Strictly maintaining ethical standards and being a fierce advocate on behalf of my clients are things I take very seriously. As a buyer, you can expect me to listen to and evaluate your real estate wants and needs. I can assist in explaining relevant forms, agreements, and closing procedures. I will guide you through the process of finding the right home, negotiating your offer, adhering to all contract dates and terms as well as final walk through and closing procedures. As a seller, I will listen to and evaluate your goals, needs, and timing in order to properly price your home to get the maximum exposure needed to attract the right buyers. In addition to negotiating on your behalf, I will make sure we communicate throughout the entire process as we navigate the contract terms, finance and inspection contingencies, as well as all closing procedures. I was born in Japan, grew up in Hamden and lived in New York, Ohio and Southern California before settling down in New Haven county to raise two kids, two dogs and a cat. I'm passionate about good food and love to bake. Some of my free time has been spent volunteering at Temple Beth Sholom, a synagogue where my family has been members for over 40 years. I also spend time at Tower One/Tower East, an assisted living center in New Haven where my mother-in-law now resides. 30 years of helping buyers and sellers achieve their goals has given me the peace of mind to know that what I do everyday matters. If you are thinking of buying or selling please keep me in mind.
