Garden rooms provide the most versatile of spaces. With a little bit of planning, you can turn a simple, cuboid structure into anything you want it to be. Craft room, office, home gym, spare bedroom. Or even a music studio. So, if music is your first love, what do you need to know to transform a garden room into the ultimate home music studio?
Five Essential Elements for Making a Garden Room Music Studio
Customisability
If you’re investing your hard-earned cash in a garden room, it needs to be perfect. That doesn’t just mean functional or aesthetically pleasing. It needs to be configured to your exact requirements – no compromises. So, working with a design that can be customised entirely to your needs – shape, size, window placement, door style, kitchen facilities, lavatory, plug socket placement, lighting style – is a must. Use a 3D planner to perfect your design.
Soundproofing
Whether you’re wanting to record in it, or you have a drum kit and want to keep the neighbours happy, soundproofing is another essential. Not all garden rooms are soundproofed. Many aren’t even insulated. At Garden Room Sanctuary, we offer the option to fully soundproof every garden room. Without soundproofing in a music room, you are very likely to disturb your neighbours. And there is every chance that external noise and vibrations will interfere with your music-making endeavours. Creating a space between the plasterboard and the wall studs of your garden room, and adding a cushioned layer between the drywall and stud wall can help to create a fully soundproofed environment.
Thermal insulation
Of course, soundproofing isn’t the only insulation you need to think about. If you’re intending to use the space throughout the year, it also needs to be thermally comfortable. All Garden Room Sanctuary garden rooms come complete with thermal insulation as standard. This can help to maintain the optimum working temperature. And reduce your heating and cooling bills.
Window and door placement
Depending on the equipment you are using, lighting can be incredibly important. You don’t want to be dazzled, and you don’t want glare on your screens. But natural light can be lovely to work in. So, having control over window and door placement can be hugely beneficial.
Additional features
You may not need any additional features to create your perfect garden room music studio. But if your studio is not located right by the house, you might want to consider adding a lavatory, or a small kitchen area. Maybe even both! These can be particularly useful if you are using your garden room studio to host music lessons. But even if it’s just for you, having everything you need within easy distance can be a real blessing in inclement weather.
