There are two approaches to design. Some people bring things home based on need, with zero thought into how it all merges together. Others care about design from the start, ensuring every piece in their home is well thought out and perfectly placed. 

When you start a new hobby like playing the piano, it’s not a simple thing to bring into a well-designed home. Pianos can be large – think grand piano. Pianos should be the centerpoint of a room to ensure you play it often. 

Luckily, we have a few ways to help you choose the perfect piano and harmonize your home design at the same time. 

Start by choosing a piano that complements your home’s existing style and size. Opt for a sleek digital piano or a minimalist upright for a modern space. A classic grand piano can be a stunning centerpiece in a traditional setting. You’ll know it when you find it. It will feel like it fits in.  

Consider your color palette. No, not every piano is black or wood-grained. You’d be surprised at the choices you have. Select a piano finish that harmonizes with your home’s color palette. Coordinate with existing furniture or use the piano as a focal point to introduce complementary or accent colors.

If music is your thing, why not show it off? Enhance the piano’s presence in your home by accessorizing creatively. Add decorative accents like a stylish piano bench, coordinating throw pillows, or artwork that reflects your musical passion. Get creative, and have fun with it! It’ll make you more likely to spend time doing what you love. 

We find many people forget about lighting. Incorporate lighting to highlight the piano and create ambiance. Consider installing wall sconces or pendant lights above the piano to draw attention and enhance its visual impact. And don’t forget it’s essential to see what you’re doing. Highlight the piano keys and the sheet music – it gives you even more reason to sit down and play on a dreary or blustery day. 

Anchor the piano in the room by placing a rug underneath or in front of it to define the space. Coordinate with window treatments like drapes or curtains to tie the room together and create a cohesive look.

Surround the piano with wall decor that complements its presence. To add personality and charm, create a gallery wall featuring musical-themed artwork, framed sheet music, or vintage photographs of pianists.

Incorporate functional storage solutions near the piano to organize sheet music, books, and other accessories. Choose stylish shelving units, cabinets, or baskets that blend seamlessly with your decor.

Add potted plants or fresh flowers near the piano to bring life and freshness to the space. Choose planters that complement your decor and add a touch of natural beauty to the room. Note: Never place them directly on the piano, as they can stain the wood and harm its inner workings. 

Designate a cozy corner or alcove in your home as a dedicated music nook centered around the piano. Add comfortable seating, a reading lamp, and shelves for music books to create an inviting space for practicing and enjoyment.

Above all, have fun and enjoy the process. This is about creating a hobby you’ll love for life. It’s about creating enjoyment you can share with your friends and family. One you’ll enjoy for life.

Why the piano? 

If you’re looking to make piano a hobby, there’s a reason. 

And whatever that means to you, it’s something you feel deep inside. You want to play. It’s a strong desire. 

Whatever the reason, it comes from the heart. Not just any piano will do. 

A piano is your tool. It’s your resource. It’s what helps you “speak” your language. 

But before you can “speak,” you’ll need to start at the beginning. Choosing the perfect piano is where you start. 

If you have a deep love for music, you have a desire to express that passion through melodies and harmonies. And what better way to bring out your inner love of music than by playing the piano?

The piano has been around for centuries. From classical compositions to modern pop hits, the piano can captivate audiences and inspire musicians of all levels. But with so many options available, how do you choose the perfect piano to suit your musical aspirations? Here are some things to consider.

Budget

What’s your budget? Pianos come in a wide range of prices. Determining your budget will help you narrow your options and find a piano that fits your financial situation.

Space

Consider the space you have available for your piano. A vertical or digital piano might be a better choice if you live in a small apartment or have limited room. A grand piano could be a stunning centerpiece if you have a spacious living area or a dedicated music room.

Purpose

Think about your goals and intentions as a pianist. Are you a beginner looking to learn the basics? Do you aspire to perform on stage or compose your own music? Different pianos cater to different needs. This is where a piano expert can be ideal to help you navigate your wants and desires and provide suggestions as to which piano is best for you.

Sound and Touch

You can’t buy a piano without trying it out. Listen carefully to the sound it produces. Does it have a warm and resonant tone? Does it respond well to your touch? Every piano has its own unique character, so it’s important to find one that resonates with you personally.

Acoustic or Digital

While pianos haven’t changed significantly over the past decades, there are some modern twists. What’s better for you, acoustic or digital? Acoustic pianos offer an authentic and traditional playing experience. Digital pianos offer versatility, portability, and the convenience of using headphones for private practice.

Research and Test

Take the time to research different piano brands, models, and reviews. Visit local piano stores and play various pianos to get a sense of their sound and feel. Don’t rush into a decision; try out different options and take your time to find the perfect instrument that resonates with your musical sensibilities.

Longevity

A high-quality piano can last for decades or even generations. Investing in a well-crafted instrument ensures a better playing experience and provides a lasting legacy for future musicians in your family.

What’s your choice?

Choosing the perfect piano is a deeply personal and rewarding journey. It’s a decision that will shape your musical journey for years to come.
