Location: Chehalis, Washington | Padded stools, or low-backed armless soft chairs work great. Think IKEA...I'm sure they have something random and odd like that.
Something with some back support is great, but you definitely don't want to try to play sitting back INTO an armchair. On the other hand, I've always loved vintage bar stools and kind of an 'eclectic' look.
Having just moved, and with much of the house utilized for children's amusement/containment, my immediate plans for a guitar room are out the window. We at least have a multi-purpose media room with the big-screen tv that serves as my retreat or practice area. The cool part is that it's a longer, narrow room (about 24' x 10') and the upper half of the walls on the long sides slope in towards the center (following the roof peak). The acoustics are pretty cool, and the room is on the other side of the bathroom and over the garage, so it's pretty sound-proof already. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Brad, I got mine from Guitars, Etc in Longmont.
Since the price was the same (as all the online estores) I decided to support my local store. If you have never been there it is worth the drive. |

Location: Tennessee | Those Fender boxes look like it's got one of those cushions people with hemmoroids buy to sit on. :rolleyes: Funny they should call it a Hot Seat ... but I guess using the word stool was out.
I've been putting my guitar loft together for a while now. Lucky in that I have a space 16x26 to play with. I have picked up a variety of different stools and seating. Different heights (24" vs. 30") and styles when it comes to the stools and everyone can always find one they like ... and like Beal said, be careful with the chairs and don't let 'em take over the room, but if you've got the space, they can make for a nice little area for two or three people to kick back and jam in comfort. I stay on the lookout for seating and sometimes find the most interesting things in unusual places. Also, don't forget to use a cajon as one of your seats!
I do some recording, but haven't tried to make the room into a studio per se. One thing I did on a lark but it really helped dampen the sound (and induced a flashback!) was to pick up an Indian (east) cotton bedspread (Ikea or Pier 1 maybe?) and staple gun it with a bit of patterning to the ceiling above the spot where I normally record. I also picked up up a Reflexion Filter that mounts to the mic stand instead of trying to treat the whole room.
But mostly my space is set up for just playing. And I keep changing things around in the loft as moods change and new things come in and other things go out. It's a toy store, a lounge, a party place, and a refuge all in one. |
