For Christmas, my kids got me new flooring and paint to redo the downstairs bedroom into a music room/ studio. (my youngest daughter is a professional interior designer). I was shocked, but now as I'm clearing all the old junk out of that room I'm getting really really excited.
Features I'm sure of (based on the existing structure).
Any other ideas or gotchas I should be looking out for?
Another idea is to design the desk so it's out in the room and the closet area just allows a false wall to get behind and wire.
Features I'm sure of (based on the existing structure).
- It's a 15x10 rectangular room and I've gutted the two closets that take up one end of the room. They used to be connected closets with two sliding doors but I removed all the doors, shelving, hardware etc, and now it's just two rectangular doorways into a 2.5' x 10' closet.
- The right side will get a pair of clothes hanging bars (one above the other) and some storage cubes for clothes and such (the size so those little fabric cubes can slide in and out.)
- The left side will get a full desk surface and then a short shelf and a tall shelf. The short shelf will allow the computer monitor (or 27" imac I plan on getting) to be well above the desk where I'll put my mixer console. The back side will have holes in it for patch in, but I plan on making a patch bay that will run from the closet to points along the wall so I can spread out mic ins all along the wall, where ever they're needed.
- The 13' long wall (minus the two feet of closet) will have 7 or 8 hangers (depending on stud locations) for guitars to hang. The 10' wall opposite the desk and closet has a window and will have a movable art easel and a bin where I can keep cables, extra pedals, etc.
- The other long wall has the door, some lighting, and I'll probably put some kind of sofa for chilling.
- Then a cool rug in the middle of the room
