Blending music with art

There’s something special that jumps to mind when a song comes on the radio that reminds you of your life 20 years ago. Perhaps you’re walking through the long hall of office doors at your highly stressful job when a song comes on over the radio that eases your mind. Music is powerful.

Music is certainly the universal language, as it has the power to evoke emotions and memories in just a few notes at a time. Yet, music is not just sound. It’s visuals, too. From canvas prints to decorative elements of music notes, music can communicate with us in a very visual way as well, bringing up those deep and desirable feelings as it does.

Selecting Music-Inspired Art for Your Space

Bringing music-inspired art into your home décor doesn’t have to be a challenge, even if it may seem overwhelming. When you consider the fusion of visual art and music and how this can create such a unique experience that resonates with your beliefs, thoughts, and interests, it’s simply a must to incorporate. Consider a few strategies for exploring the synergy between visual art and music and how to enhance your personal (and communal) spaces with the infusion of both.

Consider these tips on selecting music-inspired art that complements your décor style. There’s no wrong decision here. Let the art speak to you.

• If classical music inspires you, choose art that resonates with the deep emotions and often dark, brooding feelings of classical music. Complexity, depth of color, and intriguing designs are all components of classical-themed images.

• Jazz may be the type of music that inspires you. If that’s the case, aim for color, inspirational pieces that are uplifting, or those that are soulful and reminiscent of the deep, moody feel of jazz music.

• Rock is all about power, and your art can reflect that as well. Bright and bold colors, a change-the-world vibe, and passion are always going to be a part of rock music.

Select pieces that fit your personal style. It is not unexpected that you could choose to design your entire living space around a specific piece of art influenced by the color and character present within it.

Remember that music and art are both very powerful, emotion-provoking fuels. With that comes an interesting depth of consideration. When you place a moody, brightly colored image in your living room, you are inviting in energy. By contrast, the soft classical-music-inspired piece in your bedroom or above a soaking tub can be inspiring in itself.

Creative Ways to Display Music-Themed Art in Your Home

Once you have a few pieces that you simply love, it's time to add them to your home. There are plenty of ways to do so but think outside the box to add more interest and visual appeal to your space. Consider these tips to help you take your space to the next level:

• Jazz-theme wall. You love a good, soulful jazz evening. Consider designing a hallway in your home with a jazz-themed design, with music-inspired images, dark colors, and powerful contrasting colors. Allow you to experience jazz as you walk down the hallway.

• Rock memorabilia is ideal. For those who love rock, it’s all about sharing memories of times long gone. Incorporate rock-inspired art into a space by integrating memorabilia with your visual arts. A few album covers, for example, of the records you remember and loved back then, can make a nice visual display in the room.

• Create a musical experience. Consider creating a space along the living room wall or perhaps tucked into your study that allows you to see, feel, and listen to music. Set up a beautiful stereo system, add your favorite elements and albums, and then incorporate several pieces of art that you simply love inspired by the music you’ll likely listen to in that space. It’s the ideal place to relax after a long day.

Explore the Emotional Benefits of Surrounding Yourself with Art and Music

Why incorporate music and art in such an infused way? There are some outstanding reasons to do so. Those experiences depend on factors such as the type of mood you wish to create as well as your love of music styles. Consider a few benefits you’re likely to see when you make this transformation happen. Music-themed art is a daily inspiration. Perhaps a few notes on the wall or the perfect image of music to you near the door as you walk out to your long day can inspire sweet thoughts and a better mood.

Music is often a source of comfort, even in tough times. Incorporating visually impactful music displays like this can help you to find a place to nestle down and relax, taking in the music that inspires and fuels your emotions so powerfully. Use music and visual arts to invigorate yourself. Bright colors, powerful music, and passionate statement pieces of art allow you to energize your day and get it off on the right start.

There are many ways to incorporate music-themed art into your home. It’s a way to celebrate music and art at the same time, bringing intention to any space. Your only limitation is choosing which type of art to incorporate into your space and what type of music provides you with the best overall experience.
