Show Off Your Musicality

The idea of a “music room” may evoke visions of Bridgerton parlors and playing the piano pinafore, but today’s spaces are made for a variety of instruments, from guitars to trumpets, and for listening to everything from classical pieces to the latest bop on Spotify. For HGTV Urban Oasis 2024, the flex space is turned into the ultimate music haven, and we’re looking to these incredible room as inspiration.

Keep Comfort Top of Mind

Ukeleles, guitars and pianos, oh my. Off the main living room is a casual, eclectic space designed for picking out a favorite tune. Cushy sofas provide ample seating for playing or listening and are topped with fun pillows in a variety of colors and patterns.

Design for the Tiniest of Us

Even the smallest space can be transferred in a harmonious spot. A petite keyboard, guitar and microphone turn this wall – covered in whimsical picture frame wallpaper – into a musical nook made just for kids.

Try Out a Monochromatic Look

Once a drab home office, this room is now ready for a melody. A glossy white piano takes centerstage amidst the elegant design elements of wainscoting, patterned curtains and classically tiled floors. Large windows pour natural light into the space.

Maximize All Your Spaces

Making the most out of our little awkward nooks requires some creativity, and they might as well be used for our creative passions. This narrow space is ideal for an antique piano, a music stand for practicing singing and a cozy chair for taking in the sweet tunes.

Use Instruments as Artwork

Musical instruments not only make art, but they also can double as wall artwork. These shapely and colorful guitars make a striking statement in the once unused dining room. Now, the room is a favorite spot for the whole family to gather and make music together.

Illuminate With Purpose

Spotlight your instruments for functionality and beauty. Modern adjustable sconces provide direct light when it’s time for piano practice, and also highlight the instrument when not in use. The typography artwork above reminds the musician to be their awesome self.

Pay Homage to the Greats

Located in Nashville, HGTV Urban Oasis 2022 honored the Music City by highlighting its country music history. In the burnt sienna den, a custom LED neon sign nods to music legends, such as Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson.

Embrace the Darkness

Unlike what you may have heard, dark walls don’t equal a visually smaller space. When done well, dark walls actually push the walls back, making a space feel larger rather than smaller. Deep green paint pairs with rustic, natural finishes for this comfy hangout space. With plenty of seating and a full bar area, its primed for a jam session.

Put Your Records On

A massive collection of vinyls deserves a designated space of their own. No digging through closets or bins to find the just-right song for the moment. Custom-designed open bookshelves hold at least 30 records per cubby, and, of course, the entire display is centered with a record player and favorite memorabilia from concerts.

Find What Works for You

Not every home has the extra room to devote only to music, but that doesn’t mean you can’t bring the harmony into an already existing space. A trio of guitars hangs over the tufted aqua headboard for a spectacular display. Plus, the best part of displaying instruments is not having to find a place to stow them.

Try an Unexpected Spot

Pianos take up a ton of room so sometimes you have to think outside the box. We love how this floating staircase, which is a work of art unto itself, becomes the perfect spot to tuck a piano underneath. A gigantic window floods the space with natural light.

Create an Accent Wall

Set the scene with stunning wallpaper. Black-and-white floral wallpaper is a contrasting backdrop to the traditional piano, which is flanked by a pair of chic mid-century modern chairs.

Update the Historic

When we envision a contemporary Bridgerton space, this is what we see. Comfortable, sleek furniture where family and friends can gather to listen to the music savant of the group play their latest creation. Character-adding moldings and trim deliver interest to the bright and airy room, and potted houseplants infuse the room with color and life.

Display Your Obsession

Beatlemania didn’t stay in the 1960s. It’s alive and well in this inviting living space. In addition to a Union Jack-inspired guitar (as well as a few other six-strings), The Beatles memorabilia, from books and records to photographs and road signs, fills the shelves. Don’t shy away from using your favorite collection as part of your decor — it makes a space unmistakably yours.
