Painting the studio room! What colors for the walls, panels etc?
« on: November 18, 2016, 01:42:41 pm »
Haven't seen this coming by yet in the past and I need some thoughts of others on this subject.

I have a completely new room (6x3m) more or less and I designed my own basstraps and acoustic panels, but still have to cover them with colored fabrics.

The room itself is currently completely white, but I want to give it some color.

What are your thoughts of good colors to go with in a studio room? Glossy? Satin? Matte?

I'm thinking with a darker red color for the walls (not too dark) and a bit dark orange fabric for the panels. The ceiling I have no idea yet

Quite a few studios are red with orange, black or yellow which I find pretty good looking.

Post some pictures if you have.. :-)

wall color might be something to consider...

But what i tend to see in most professional home studios, is the use of lightning more so than wall coloring.

You can maybe run a cost analysis for it, but the ability to have dynamic lighting might change how you produce more so than the color of the walls.

different colors or just the effect of a simple light dimmer might be enough to change your approach.

I'd probably tend to the side of dark and earthy colors. But i'd more than likely keep the walls white. Not so much concerned with the environment as i am with how well i understand the room.


You could even have carpet or wooden wall panels.

Understanding the room is ofcourse on the first place, but i'd like a room that's not dull. White walls are for me something to have in another room.

I like the ideas in the images below.

Normally i'd say blue, but in a working envoriment such as a studio I seem to like red.

I want the room to give a comfortable feeling, yet inspirational. From what I read and hear red seems to give both.

Yea, i am a little plain and basic lol.



Those are some slick fucking rooms though dude.


I see your point in how the environment will shape your vibe, and that is very important aspect to consider.


Idk man, if you try to get some where along the lines of those rooms i'd say go for it. They seem to be a really good source to consider when designing your room.


PS; i never really got the whole concept of home furniture stuff or w/e

I like off white and then use colored lights for vibe. Let's me change it up whenever.
