Music makes people happy and helps the brain release endorphins. Whether listening to your favorite song with a group of friends or playing a classic song on the guitar, music stimulates people and helps reduce stress. But did you know you don’t have to play an instrument to benefit from having musical instruments in your home? Here are five musical instruments that you should have in your home, how they can be installed in your home decor, and how they can affect you.

1- Piano
Pianos are iconic and significant, and like any musical instrument, pianos can inspire creativity in a home. You can use a piano as a focal point of any room or dedicate an entire room to the instrument.
A piano can be a great learning tool if you have small children. Even kids too young to play the piano will learn valuable lessons when they’re allowed to explore the instrument freely. Examples of benefits a piano provides kids include sensory development, music appreciation, fine motor skills, and hand-eye coordination.
For older kids, pianos can provide an opportunity to fine-tune concentration and memorization skills while they learn to read sheet music and progress to memorizing songs and playing by ear.
Adult piano players can spend their free time enjoying their favorite holiday, playing holiday songs for guests, and using the top of the piano to display some of their favorite mementos or photos.
2- Guitars
Whether you enjoy playing guitars or have in the past, guitars are beautiful, providing many opportunities to show them off in your home. Using special hooks, you can store electric or acoustic guitars on your home’s walls. You can create a gallery wall by hanging them at various angles and heights if installing more than one guitar.
If you’re running out of room on the walls, you can buy stands to hold a guitar and place them in a variety of locations around the house. You can also come up with unique ways of storing guitar pics, straps, and cases.
3- Tambourine
One of the easiest ways to bring music into your home is to get a tambourine. Tambourines are easy to play, even for non-musicians. All an inspiring musician has to do is listen to the beat and start shaking the tambourine. Anyone from toddlers to great-grandparents can enjoy this musical instrument, and there’s no sheet music to memorize, or a difficult learning curve to overcome.
Like guitars, tambourines can be mounted on the wall with special hooks, adding a music theme to your home decor. If you don’t want to hang the instrument on the wall, you can easily rest a tambourine on a shelf until it’s time to shake it.
4- Harmonica
Harmonicas are a popular wind musical instrument that creates tones when breath is inhaled and exhaled through metal reeds. For this reason, anyone who can breathe can play the instrument. The harmonica is associated with various music, including country, rock, blues, jazz, American folk, and classical.
Harmonicas can be simple or extremely intricate, which makes them a popular collector’s item. The most intricate harmonicas are made of glass, which allows the inside of the harmonica to be seen from the outside.
Respiratory therapists also recommend harmonicas for people with medical conditions such as COPD. One of the most common symptoms of COPD is shortness of breath. To play the harmonica, musicians use pursed-lip breathing, which can actually make breathing easier for COPD patients. Many respiratory therapists recommend patients with COPD begin playing the harmonica to decrease shortness of breath and sputum mobilization.
5- Bongo
Bongos are open-bottom drums and are available in a variety of sizes colors, and materials. Many musicians use bongos to carry the narrative of a song by providing rhythm. This beautiful instrument, usually around 6″ to 8″, has been used for generations in folk tales and traditional dances.
Even non-musicians collect bongos due to their intricate or straightforward designs that lend well to various home decor inspirations. Bongos of different heights and colors can be collected in a corner of a room or stacked on top of each other to create an eye-catching display. Smaller bongos can be stored on shelves when not in use. Whether bongos lend themselves to your home decor or are one of your favorite hobbies, you can easily find a way to fit them into any space.
Music is a language that everyone knows. If music inspires you to be creative or is just an outlet to socialize with others, adding musical instruments to your home is a great way to inspire conversation, instill creativity, and even decorate your home.
