Furniture Options Ideal for Podcast Recording

If you enjoy recording podcasts, then you may want to find a quiet place in your home to record clear audio without the need to rent out a professional recording studio. Along with professional equipment like microphones, headphones, and sound mixers, you can choose comfortable furniture to enhance the experience.

The furniture you choose for podcast recording can make a big difference in how you record. Learn about some practical furniture options, along with some furniture pieces, that are ideal for any podcast guest you bring on the show.

End Tables

No matter where you decide to record in the house, the main piece of furniture you choose to sit on should be flanked by an end table. An end table can provide quick access and a stable surface for all kinds of extra items. For example, you could place a sound mixer on the end table.

If you use a portable recorder for sound, then you could place the recorder on the end table as well. An end table will also provide quick access to any extra items you may need while you podcast. If you have guests on the show, then you could supply an extra end table as well.

Instead of reaching down in front of a coffee table, an end table makes it easy to grab items without any extra strain. Look for end tables with multiple shelves as well. For example, you could keep recording equipment on a lower shelf while you keep drinks or snacks on the top of the end table. The separation of items can help prevent any issues from occurring.

Stationary Chairs

When you shop for comfortable chairs, you want to look for stationary options. Anything that rocks or swivels can present issues for a podcast. Microphones can pick up the noise of the furniture which can be hard to edit out. If left on the podcast, then the noises can become a distraction for listeners.

Shop for chairs that do not offer any movement. The chairs still provide comfort and relaxation, but they will not create issues each time you go to record.

Another way to reduce the extra sounds while you record is by having soft fabric materials on your chairs. Soft fabrics like cotton, linen, and microfiber offer minimal sounds, so you can still enjoy the comfort these fabrics provide. On the contrary, an option like leather could make noise as you move around and create distractions when you record.

When you visit a furniture shop in person, you can feel the differences between fabrics and choose the most comfortable option to fit your podcast needs.

Loveseats

If you often feature guests on your podcast, then you should consider purchasing a loveseat for your recording area. A loveseat provides extra space for a guest to get comfortable. If you have multiple guests on your podcast, then they could share the loveseat as well, which can make a big difference in how you record.



A loveseat is smaller than most standard couches, so the piece of furniture will not take up as much space in your recording area. If you want to create a more aesthetically pleasing room design, then you could purchase a loveseat that matches a stationary chair. The matching fabric designs and styles in your podcast area allow you to enjoy the décor of the room.
