Recording Studio Furniture: While not everybody has the option of converting a spare room into a studio, lot of budding engineers are now building their own home studios. So it does make sense to utilize space effectively.
Introduction
Home recording studio furniture includes all the furniture that you need in your recording studio. It doesn’t include your couch/bed, although it helps to have these things around, especially when you sit for 12-16 hours in your chair trying to straighten out your mix.
But recording studio furniture commonly includes things like recording desks, instrument and speaker stands, studio equipment racks.
- Strong and sturdy desk
- Monitor stands, chairs, and racks for your hardware
- Isolation pads and panels
Choosing the right furniture for your recording studio can help you focus on the most important things,and be more productive. It involves a little planning but it can improve the look and feel of your studio.
There are some good studio furniture options that let you effectively use your recording space. Here are some good options that you should explore.
Studio Recording Desk
You need these to place your recording studio equipment and are ideally suited for the home studio, where space can be a constraint.
What do you place on these?
Well, all your gear goes here: computer, video monitors, studio monitors, music keyboard, and other gear.
Usually, these are available in separate parts that needs to be assembled. The design itself is quite flexible since you only have to install the components that you intend to use. So later on, if your needs change, you can easily change the configuration and attach the additional components.
The height also can be adjusted so that you can work being seated or even in a standing position; I prefer to get up and work if I’m tired of sitting for a long time.

Studio Racks
These are a common sight in most studios, where you see the various hardware stacked together. You mount studio gear such as effects processors, amps, recorders, etc, on these.
You can choose from a number of options available.
Studio Chair
You may not need these for your corner home studio, but if you have a separate room for your studio or if you get a proper office space and convert it into a studio, then these can add a bit of class to your studio.
Of course, these are quite comfortable to sit as well, and are height adjustable. Some models also have an adjustable backrest, one that can be adjusted vertically and in the front and backward position as well.
Monitor Stands
If you already have a good studio workstation (studio desk), then you may probably not need these as the recording desk has provision for placing the studio monitors, and in most cases it is adjustable as well.
But if your desk doesn’t have height adjustment feature for the monitors or if you are using some budget stand for placing your recording gear, a monitor stand can come in handy.
These can be really useful if you are going to be glued to your desk for a long time.
To Conclude
These are things that are commonly found in most recording studios, but if you feel you cannot afford all of these right now, may be you can just consider the desk and the racks to begin with. It is also more of a personal choice but these Recording Studio Furniture will definitely help you to have a comfortable and clutter-free working space.
Music Lover’s Corner Workspace
So how does a music lovers corner work-space looks like? Here we take a look at a few examples. In fact, you will be surprised that there are many who use a monitor dedicated completely to music, whereas a bigger monitor is where most of the work gets done (including your office work).
Take a look at the picture, and it seems to look pretty organized.
The smaller monitor makes for easy reading, is also a great way to keep track of of what’s playing in your music playlists (Spotify or any other of your favorite music player/service) or for installing your favorite music apps, and you can easily carry it around at other times (when you are not at your desk or have to step out of the house).
You will need a good pair of external audio speakers for a better listening experience. Make sure you keep the power strip mounted to the underside of the desk, and keep all those cables neatly zip-tied together so that your desk looks pretty.
This may not be a fancy work-space but its a practical one. You may choose to keep a notepad, a pen and some post-it-notes as well on the desk (just in case, you want to organize things better).
