Where to put a piano in your home? Practical guide with PIANEX

Where to place your acoustic piano in your home?

The location of your piano is a key factor in sound quality, playing comfort and harmony in your home. Here's PIANEX's advice on choosing the right location.

Preliminary considerations

Available space

Make sure the room allows good circulation around the piano. Uprights take up less space than grand pianos, but good clearance is still necessary for comfortable playing.

Noise level

Avoid busy rooms or rooms close to bedrooms. If you live in an apartment, choose an isolated room so as not to disturb those around you.

Natural light

Indirect light creates an inspiring atmosphere. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage your piano's finish.

Ideal locations in the home

Salon

A central, friendly place, perfect for playing in front of the family. Be sure to organize the space well and avoid frequent traffic during play sessions.

Office or music room

An atmosphere conducive to concentration. Add sheet music, musical decor and other instruments for an inspiring universe.

Room

Suitable for intimate, regular use. Pay attention to room size to avoid overcrowding.

Games or leisure room

Ideal for introducing children to music in a playful setting. Create a warm corner with rugs, cushions and soft lighting.

Preserving sound quality

Avoid exterior walls and windows. Choose an interior wall for better resonance and a more balanced sound.

Temperature and humidity

The piano should be placed in a room with a stable temperature and controlled humidity (40-60%). Avoid cellars, attics or damp rooms.

Accessories and fittings

• Comfortable adjustable bench seat
• Sheet music holder
• Soft or natural indirect lighting
• Decorative objects to create an inspiring atmosphere

Conclusion

Choosing the right location enhances the value of your piano, improves your playing experience and enhances your interior. Take into account space, acoustics, light and climatic conditions.
