DIY music studio room at Home47

April 27, 2021

We took some time off to transform Isaac's current room into a DIY music studio room over the last 2 weeks.

These were the processes which we went through and most of the planning were done by Isaac; to bring to fruition his dream music studio room!

1) Removed the old long table in his current room. This table is now in my dad's room.

2) Removed his single bed - frame has been given away to recycle item collector. We kept the mattress.

3) Painted the whole room - a feature wall using Nippon's Oxford River turned out to be really beautiful light modern grey colour. The other walls were painted a new coat of white. The room is now bright & refreshed! haha..

4) Got the electrician to remove the ceiling fan and to install a wall fan.

5) Purchased an IKEA bunk bed which came with a proper desk & storage cabinets at the bottom half. The installer came on Saturday to fix the bed & now Ivan sleeps in this bunk bed.

6) DIY music studio equipments being assembled by Isaac - he created a 2nd layer to the desk, even did the carpentry work himself. He also designed how to place all his equipments and sourced high & low for the cheapest deals on Music Bliss, Shopee & Carousell. We bought a huge 27-inch monitor, acoustic foam (which also mean sound-proofing foam), many different types of cables & extension & a set of very good grade of speakers.

7) Finally, the 'STAR' of the music studio room - Pearl acoustic drum set for Ivan!!!

This whole room transformation was done with this in mind. We were scratching our heads as to where to place the acoustic drum set - so that Ivan gets to practise his drumming skills.
