These Homes Are Alive with the Sound of Music

Because everyone these days is plugged into an iPod, music is a constant companion for most of us. But how to separate the real musicians from the pop-rock fans? Take a look at their homes; true music enthusiasts will incorporate their passion in their decor.

Sometimes a fabulous instrument (or several) on display is all it takes to show your love for music:

Musical decor on a large or small scale is sure to strike a chord (okay, we’ll stop with the puns now):

Accessorize with musical pieces, like this guitar-shaped towel warmer:

Or these awesome custom toilet seat covers by Jammin’ Johns (hilariously appropriate tagline: “Music to Your Rear!”):

You can go subtler with music-inspired shapes. Drum-shaped furniture and light fixtures are especially popular:

Dainolite 3-Light Pendant with Drum Shade

Though other (perhaps less common) instruments are represented too. Did you know that fluted edging is called “fluted” because the grooves resemble the inside of a flute?

Cole & Co. Designer Series Kinkaid Vanity
Rohl Shaws Original Fluted Two-Bowl Fireclay Kitchen Sink

For the true enthusiast, choose music-playing bathroom fixtures that allow you to listen wherever you are and whatever you may be doing:

Graff Aqua-Sense Complete Thermostatic Shower System with Speaker
Ariel Clear Wall Whirlpool Tub with Digital Stereo Sound
Jaclo Aqua Quartetto Shower Head with Music & Lights
Robern MP Series Flat Door Mirrored Cabinet with TVID
Kohler Numi Toilet

Now that’s music to my ears.

What’s your favorite genre?
