Home Music Studio

The owner wanted to record vocals and mix music in a small bedroom. The desk sits below a TV that doubles as the screen, with the mic just to the right of the desk. In a small room with bare walls, sound from the speakers and the voice bounces around, so recordings pick up the room and mixes are hard to judge.

The owner sent photos, videos and wall measurements, so we could plan the room before visiting. We sent a proposal with 3D visuals and colour options.

He asked about custom printed panels. We suggested fabric instead, because it works better for sound in a studio. He has black and gold cupboards, so we helped him pick a neutral grey that suits the cupboards and blinds.

We fitted 9 grey fabric acoustic panels at seated ear height, including the corner beside the desk and speakers, near the mic spot, and in a recessed niche above the sofa.

The owner told us the room sounds fine for his work. We also showed him how to keep the fabric panels clean and dust-free.
