Below is a slightly condensed version to give you the idea. Enjoy!
You don’t need fancy artwork or crazy color schemes to create a vibe for your place. Want your apartment to rock? Use music as a mood-setter. Try these musical “decorating” ideas, and set your apartment swinging.
Change the channel
Because music has such a powerful impact on emotion, think about how you want to feel in your apartment on a given day, and choose your tunes carefully.Need to feel energized in the morning? Wind down after work? Whatever mood you’re in, you can find the right tunes to suit it.
Online jukebox
There are excellent online options which allow you to fill a customized radio station or playlist with music that fits your feelings based on an emotion that you choose!Work the room
You may find that the different rooms of your apartment each call for musical moods of their own. Try playing soothing spa sounds in your bath, or dance mixes to get you up and moving in your living room. Spice up your kitchen time with Italian or Latin tunes that put you in the mood to cook.Make your own music
Singing or playing an instrument can be relaxing or really invigorating.Remember, your neighbors might be in a different mood than you, so always contain your tunes (or singing) to a volume that doesn’t disturb the folks next door. You might even invite them over to share the sweet sounds with you over dessert!
