Dedicated Music Room

signs · 10 Nov 2020 at 16:45

I've recently moved house ( 10 weeks ago) and along with a planned new kitchen and cinema room thought I would make a dedicated music room , the progress so far .........

( the fire is electric so no heat )

and the record storage is Ikea Kallax built into a stud wall

regarding room treatment it unfortunately has a suspended floor so i'd be stuffed anyway , but if i'm honest it sounds good as it is
