There have been some tremendous strides taken in the development of digital technology in recent years – not least in technology that is available in the home. It is now possible with the right insulation to not only have a dedicated theatre or music room or even a recording studio (assuming of course that you have the space to accommodate one!)

So if you do happen to like the idea of turning your home into a centre of entertainment and musical excellence then you will need to consider a few elements to make the dream a reality. The first one is your location in the house.

There isn’t much point setting up in a place that is hard to get to or that doesn’t have enough room to fit all of your equipment. You may also be spending a lot of time in the room perfecting your art so you also want that room to be reasonably comfortable and warm.

Sound insulation is also just as important. Windows should be double glazed to keep out noise and keep in heat. The door too should be well-insulated to prevent sound leakage. Adding carpet can also help prevent echoes as can acoustic panels.
