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.
