Design the room to evoke memories of most-loved lyrics, instrumentation and artists.
Devoting a bedroom to honor a musical theme makes a statement. If the bedroom is decorated for someone in the home, include design elements that embody their dreams and inspirations. Incorporate space for instruments, music stands and holders for sheet music. If the room is to be used a spare or guest bedroom, you can decorate with a theme that pays honor and tribute to special music interests, artwork and accessories.
Red Carpet
Carpeting the room in red will create a good base for design. Red evokes the prestige and honor of "walking the red carpet" at a music concert or awards ceremony. Plus, the color can be used as a basis for furniture styles of every type. A red carpet bedroom will also set the perfect stage for artwork that features musical legends from every period and genre.
Personal Performances
Decorate a bedroom to be inspiring for the one who is a musical artist. Use photographs of their performances and favorite artists as the artwork to decorate the bedroom. Find quotes of favorite artists and frame them as artwork. Paint the room with their favorite colors so that the bedroom will become a sunup-to-sundown source of continuous inspiration.
Great Stages and Performers
Create a bedroom that honors the world's most renowned concert stages. Paint the room in a neutral color that will make photographs of Carnegie Hall, the Grand Old Opry or the Apollo Theater in Harlem stand out. Surround those photographs with those of legendary performers who appeared on the stages, like Elvis Presley, Luciano Pavarotti, Johnny Cash or Marvin Gaye.
American Idols
Decorate a tween, pre-teen or teen bedroom with framed posters and artwork of their favorite music artists. Draw colors from the artwork to select paint colors for walls. The tastes of teens will vary within months so don't spend too much on framing. You can also encourage the teen to frame the artwork from CD jackets and photographs available to reprint free from the Internet to decorate the room.
Movie and Broadway Musicals
Movie and Broadway musicals are a source for artwork to decorate a bedroom. Many posters and playbills are works of art. Posters, postcards and artwork can be sourced online and in the gift shops of theaters. Musical artwork can be framed to enhance a bedroom and even set the tone for the entire bedroom design. Select artwork from performances that you have attended to give the room even more meaning.
Musical Stencils
No matter what the music genre of interest is, lyrics are inspiring. Use stencils to paint lyrics of songs. They can be stenciled and applied to center a wall at chair-rail height, or to run as a stream along a floor baseboard. In a room with a tray ceiling, they can make an inspirational statement when the person in the room looks up and drifts off to sleep at night.
