From serious musicians to those who casually tickle the ivories, all can enjoy the captivating elegance of a Piano room. A piano not only makes beautiful music but creates a stunning showpiece in a home, which sparks a special look of luxury and an air of culture. This collection of 51 piano room ideas is filled with glorious inspiration to cover just about every taste and interior design aesthetic. We’ve collected together a plethora of modern piano rooms and some with a traditional touch, mid-century modern and eclectic music rooms, rustic and boho style rooms, and serene minimalist music rooms that leave all focus on the melody.

Upright and upper class. This neoclassical design presents an exquisite backdrop for an upright piano. A wide section of boiserie panelling elegantly frames the instrument. Two modern Wall lights add a balance of theatrical illumination.

A piano and a pop of colour. A brightly coloured accent chair makes a fun counteraction against the formality of a grand piano. It also gives an appreciative audience member a place to hang out in comfort. See more of this Taiwanese apartment with simple layout and punchy palette here.

Let the piano set the tone. This attention-grabbing firetruck-red grand piano sets the accent colour for a luxurious living space, inspiring a scattering of equally bright scatter cushions along an adjacent sofa.

Under arches. Is there any setting more perfect for a piano room than arched architecture? These arched windows and a matching arch-shaped wall mirror complement the curvaceous silhouette of the piano with style and grace.

Honey, I’m home. Place the love of your life right in the entryway to your main living space. It will be the first thing you see when you arrive home, and the first impression you make on your guests.

Designer: STUDIOTAMAT  

Balance out black pianos with another large, dark piece of furniture. A dark sofa colour is the obvious choice in a living space. Black light finishes and darkly framed bookcases also make good counterbalancing contributions.

Designer: Kia Designs  

Wonderful music and a window seat. Pile up an assortment of cushions and blankets to create a cosy hangout spot for music appreciation.

Visualizer: Muhammed Fesal  

Work hard, play hard. After a day in the office, it’s time to light up your life with good music and an inspirational neon sign.

Designer: Studio Avana  

Industrial inspiration. Concrete walls and cavernous spaces create quite the acoustics.

Visualizer: Dmitry Matveev  

All about the arts. Musical art meets wall art in this understated interior design. Upright pianos are best situated against an interior wall and out of direct sunlight, so this landscape painting also serves as an outside view where one lacks.

Visualizer: Omar Jamanov  

Make the most of small wall spaces by double banking your musical instruments. A fresh accent colour will lift the look.

Designer: Haus  

Rip out the coat closet and make better use of that awkward under stair space.

Bohemian rhapsody. Indoor plants, jute rugs and rattan baskets conjure a relaxed boho vibe.

Designer: Valeria Lambrecht  

For the minimalist musician. This wall mounted keyboard takes on the appearance of a floating console unit with a fashionably wood slatted finish.

Never upstaged. This small upright and coordinating piano stool have been flipped with a cheerful yellow paint job that makes them the unrivalled focal point of the room.

Designer: HAO Design  

Family time and tunes. This unique living space combines family dining, a creative kids’ play area and an inviting music area into one airy open space. An indoor swing provides a place to perch and sway to the melody.

Parallel poetry. This symmetrical space creates a dramatic runway to the keys. Protruding partition walls effectively protect the upright piano from direct sunlight from two flanking windows, whilst the rest of the lounge remains bright and welcoming.

Visualizer: Between The Walls  

Another take on the boho theme, this decorative moment features wall mounted baskets above a modern keyboard.

Designer: dSPACE Studio  

Imagine… A John Lennon inspired entryway. This isn’t the piano on which John Lennon composed “Imagine” but it has some similar characteristics. The real one was sold for $2.1 million via online auction at the Hard Rock Cafe in London to the late British pop star George Michael. It is still owned by his estate.

Designer: Post And Beam Design  

Piano loving plants. Some people believe that indoor plants grow better when you play classical music to them. This is supposedly due to the agreeable vibrations created by the sound waves, which then causes movement in plant cells and stimulates more nutrient production. This one certainly seems to be thriving!

Creative and cosy. A faux fur throw, cheerful rug and some plant friends go a long way in making a simple music area appear loved and lively.

Designer: Black Lacquer Design  

Gold accents and a gallery. If you’re looking to add some serious luxe to your musical hobby room, consider a gallery wall of moody black and white photographic prints and a rich accompaniment of gold accent furniture.

Visualizer: Trọng Mỹ  

Compose a lullaby. Bedrooms aren’t just for sleeping; bedroom workspaces are common now, so why not a songwriting station?

Visualizer: Ygest Design Studio  

Sleek and streamlined. This linear black backdrop stylishly blends the piano and a TV nook into one smart, shadowy wall feature, which allows the lighter furniture pieces in the foreground to shine bright.

Visualizer: Idol Design  

Peaceful colour palettes and panel moulding. This narrow living space is spaciously united with a hallway piano area under one peaceful colour palette. Chic panel moulding gives the music wall a crisp, classic aesthetic.

Designer: Rockefeller Kempel Architects  

The traditional touch. Dark wood panelling complements this grand piano and gives the room a comfortingly traditional feel.

Designer: Sam Crawford Architects  

Built-in benches and bookcases. Concrete steps bleed into a custom concrete bench in this high-ceilinged hobby space. Grab a book from the stacks and drift away to the echoing song.

Architect: Gianni Botsford  

This writer’s home takes the home library theme a little further… Ok, a lot further. Oh, the hours we could spend in that room.

Designer: Smoothcore Architects  

In this home, the music room and home library combo morphs into a sweeping staircase design with book storage in the risers.

Designer: Rachel Belden Interior Design  

Candle-lit concerts. Create an atmospheric glow with a collection of candles. Hey, it worked for Liberace.

Designer: Adelene Keeler Smith Interior Design  

Pianos and pillars, plus a pristine white colour scheme. Sophisticated, simple, and stunning.

Visualizer: Thai Quang  

Highs and lows. Whilst being in the spotlight is nice, you don’t want to be dazzled by low hanging pendant lights. This row of pendants make an undulating formation from the couch to the piano, suspended from a set of decorative ceiling roses. The yellow piano shines bright all on its own.

Designer: Anton Bazaliyskiy   Photographer: Maxim Maximov  

Nestled in a nook. Built-in bookcases can be used to frame out a deep alcove and make a decorative surround for an upright piano.

Designer: The Wood Works

Designer: Scott | Edwards Architecture  

Soulful and centred. This amazing space has far-flung views that evoke emotion and allow the mind to drift and dream.

Designer: The Ranch Mine  

Creative courtyard. This skylit courtyard keeps the piano out of direct sunlight, which will knock a piano out of tune and won’t do the finish any good either.

Designer: Migdal Arquitectos  

If you insist on a lot of windows though, this seamless wraparound option is spectacular. A thick growth of trees should provide ample shade but be sure to protect your piano with a heavy cover when sunlight is at its strongest.

Designer: Miró Rivera Architects  

Your personal concert hall. Keep floors clear, set up seating and let the audience roll in.

Visualizer: Bjarke Ingels Group and Uribe & Schwarzkopf  

Layered light show. A sensational light installation sets the stage for stardom.

Designer: Eduarda Correa  

Open plan overture. Set a creative core inside your home that can be enjoyed from every angle.

Designer: OgataYoshiki + SALT + IkawaAtsushi + WataseIkuma  

Scenic sound waves. This wonderful wood panelling depicts sounds waves around the room perimeter, and actively manipulates acoustics.

Designer: Dan Brunn Architecture  

A grand piano and a vertical garden fashion a naturally inspiring space for creativity.

Designer: Atelier Barda architecture  

Cutting curves. A black grand piano and rounded furniture pieces cut contrasting curves against a pure white backdrop.
