Decorating with vinyl records

Using vinyl to decorate a wall is an original way to bring musical character to an interior and add a nostalgic vibe. The large format and interesting design make the covers work well as paintings. While damaged records, instead of ending up in the trash, can create an interesting composition on the wall. When creating a gallery from records, you can play with the layout, hanging them in regular rows or asymmetrically, which will give the interior an artistic expression. Such decoration not only catches the eye, but also expresses the individual taste and interests of the owner, making the interior more personal and unique.

Furniture and accessories for vinyl storage

Vinyl furniture is designed with vertical stacking of records in mind. This ensures their safe storage and protects them from distortion. Modular shelving units, which can be expanded at will, are ideal for a growing collection.

Swedish music band Swedish House Mafia has even created a special collection dedicated to music lovers. Collaborations with IKEA included a cubic vinyl bag and the OBEGRÄNSAD bookcase, a remixed version of the famous KALLAX. The furniture is taller and has extra space for amplifiers and records, for example.

However, you don't have to invest in professional furniture. An interesting vinyl rack can be created from a vintage-style bookcase or.... an old television set!

Listening corner

The key element is, of course, the turntable, which is best placed on a sturdy table or bookcase, accompanied by an amplifier and speakers, adjusted to the acoustics of the room. The place should be quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of daily activities, allowing full immersion in the sounds. Next to the turntable it is worth arranging a comfortable seat. The cozy atmosphere will be emphasized by discreet, warm lighting. In addition, shelves or racks for vinyl records can be organized nearby, so that the collection is easily accessible and part of the decor. The right details, such asmusic posters, will give the space an artistic touch.
