When I think of interior design I’ll imagine lamps, chairs, sofas, curtains, carpet. More often than not, what makes a room unique is not the furniture but what you surround it with. A home is the ornaments on the mantel piece, the vase on the table and the guitar in the corner.<\/p>\n

I’m reading a wonderful book called The Piano Shop on the Left Bank<\/a> <\/i>by an American writer called Thad Carhart. The second part of the title is Discovering a <\/i>F<\/i>orgotten <\/i>P<\/i>assion in a Paris <\/i>A<\/i>telier<\/i>, and the author’s rediscovery of his love for the piano made me think of the importance of instruments in a home. So \u2013 here it is. My accessory of the week: musical instruments.<\/p>\n

A piano is often a statement piece in a room \u2013 however in this interior it becomes part of the furniture and adds an unexpected twist to a conventional room.<\/p>\n

Hanging your guitar on the wall can make a real statement. This image shows a guitar-filled statement wall which really helps give you an idea of the identity of this home-owner.<\/p>\n

Making your piano stand out with some bright paint can completely transform a room. This beautiful instrument is now the focal point of this room and complements the vintage print above and lights the room up entirely.<\/p>\n

This is actually an ornament, but I love it so much I had to include it. I love the rusty brass next to the modern, minimal white. This is a great way of adding a touch of vintage to your home.<\/p>\n

The best thing about having your instruments on show is that it allows guests an insight to your personality and interested. A bongo drum and ukulele are fantastic talking points and will make your room look interesting and quirky.<\/p>\n
