If you have extra space at home, there's no better way to use it than to create a performing arts space. No matter your art — singing, dancing, playing music — there are ways to convert part of your home into the studio of your dreams. Take these tips from His Hop Nation and get started on your perfect studio space.
Improve Temperature Control
Heating and cooling are crucial in any area of your home, and in a studio, even more so. Ensure good airflow and adequate heating and cooling for all seasons.
Select a smart thermostat to see temperature patterns and adjust the HVAC accordingly.
By hiring someone with experience to install a ceiling fan, you'll have better air circulation and fewer worries.
Insulate windows, doors, and more to reduce temperature fluctuations (and drafts).
Make Noise-Canceling Modifications
Whatever performing art is your preference, it will likely be loud for your neighbors. Select noise-canceling solutions that work for your space and craft.
Review noise reduction basics and check your space for reverberation, echo, and acoustics.
Determine if you need acoustic treatment (specific to singing and recording).
Apply sound-absorbing design elements like soft rugs, curtains, and foam flooring.
Add sound-absorbing plants to deflect, refract, and absorb sound if space allows.
Choose Materials Carefully
High-traffic areas tend to wear down sooner, so choosing flooring and other materials carefully prolongs your multi-purpose room's looks and functionality.
Determine size needs for any stage flooring, considering capacity and activity type.
Prevent slip hazards by backing any rugs or soft mats.
Consider room divider options to separate working spaces.
No matter your creative venture, an at-home performing arts space could be your opportunity to level up. By overhauling your home space to accommodate your passion, you'll save travel time and create a place that friends and fellow creatives can enjoy, too.
