Music has a way of shaping memories, and vinyl records are like physical time capsules of those moments.

By placing them on the wall, you’re not just storing them, you’re honoring them.

With ambient lighting casting a soft halo around each disc, the records glow like treasures of sound.

The wall becomes a stage where nostalgia and design meet. It’s more than décor; it’s a playlist you can see.

Every time you sit beneath this glowing wall, it feels like being wrapped in the rhythm of your own story.

Materials Needed

• 20-25 vinyl records (choose your favorites or mix genres)
• Vinyl wall mounts or adhesive disc holders
• LED strip lights or puck lights (warm white works beautifully)
• Power adapter and extension cord
• Measuring tape, pencil, and level
• Optional: dimmer switch

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Decide on the arrangement of your records. Grid layouts feel modern, while staggered rows give a casual look.

Step 2: Mark the placement on the wall using a pencil and level to keep lines straight.

Step 3: Attach vinyl mounts or holders to the wall at each mark, ensuring they’re evenly spaced.

Step 4: Place each record securely into its mount, adjusting until the rows feel balanced.

Step 5: Install LED lighting behind or around the records.

For a halo glow, position strip lights behind a thin wooden strip above the row, or mount puck lights with adhesive behind each disc.

Step 6: Connect the lights to a dimmer or smart plug, so you can control brightness depending on the mood.

Tips:

Use records with bold label colors to add visual interest.

If you’re worried about damaging rare albums, purchase inexpensive duplicates at thrift shops for display purposes.
