Every home makes music. Sometimes it’s the quiet monastic chant heard in the tranquility of monochromatic interiors or it’s the ebullient tempo of a colourful Bohemian home.

And yet still, we can synchronize that natural rhythm and visual harmony with an orchestrated euphony in the spaces that surround us. Shuffling a playlist, spinning wax, playing or composing music with instruments are just a few of the ways that we do so.
