How can music and interior design help each other? Many people would be surprised with the strong friendship music and interior design create. Through strong comparisons in tone, pattern, rhythm and harmony. Music can lend to the creation of making a perfect space of your own!

Have you ever walked into a room and just let out a relaxing sigh? This year it may seem hard to do. These days, many individuals have been reflecting on their atmosphere. As it has become apparent the past several months, your homes have become a quarantine manifestation.
For some, it is an introvert’s paradise. For others, it is a prison of thoughts, barriers and internal darkness waiting to consume their every move.
Music has been a comfort for many through this distinct period of uncertainty. Music has been a form of medicine in efforts to wake us up from this melancholy state. When we listen to music, something warm produces inside of us that transcends to the environment in which we call home.

No Blues with Rhythm
You may have heard the term rhythm in discussion with many musical outlets. Rhythm is strong regular pattern of movement or sound. In interior design, the movement or sound is in form of colors, lines and visual patterns. With rhythm always having a repetitive characteristic, many lines and patterns are repeated through the space to bring the overall piece together.
Patterns in musical chords and notes lends to people developing an earworm from catchy artists such as Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift. It is patterns that these artists rely heavily on when creating a successful radio hit. Patterns in environment design surrounds the quality of the surface. Illustration is the most important aspect in terms of pattern. This could be different visual squares on an IKEA headboard, or thin lines places delicate around the walls in the living room.
Another similarity with music and interior design is its yearning to strike a balance. In the music recording industry, much of the producer’s duties is to create a balance of various sounds through mixing or audio levels.
Collaborations from different artists from various backgrounds, require the musicians to come to an agreement and balance of different musical stylings and choices. The honest truth, is that we cannot escape balance. Balance is a skill that every individual encounter throughout the heavy tossing and turning of life itself. Balance is crucial in interior design.
