Let's have another room/interior design thread.
Post your room or (if you are a poorfag like me) post pictures of good looking rooms.
This pleases my aesthetics.

Tips on how to make a 12.4 m2 room in a shared apartment even remotely tolerable?
>>11502516
Custom open wardrobe.
Biggest bed you can fit and six duvets.
No colors allowed.
>>11502516
Take full advantage of the height of the room for shelving
There's a bed frame on Amazon that doesn't require a box spring and allows for a lot of storage under the frame
Go to a thrift store and buy filing cabinets. They're empty shells for storage and make for a very compact table. Also they're generally able to be stacked on top of one another
Get a few potted plants to make the room feel alive. They're under ten dollars and available in any big box store or grocery store
I'll have a 20 m2 flat.
>no money
I have no choice but minimalism meme style.
I plan on
>one large shelve / cabinet with multiple boxes to fit my stuff.
>one minimalist hanger to hang my coat, shirts and the like
>one table to eat
>one foldable couch/bed
any tips?
somebody post that room with a mattress on the floor in the corner with a nice view of the city
>>11501909
This really makes me wish I had a few hundred million dollars.
And I think that's it for what I have on my phone.

I've seen several nice rooms posted by people that actually frequent /fa/. It's completely possible that is his room.
>>11504280
Yep, it's mine. Here's an old photo when I used to have carpet.

>>11504306
literally pinterest: the post
>>11504306
you sound like a mom
moving soon and am gonna get pic related for a bed frame, if you could hook me up with some inspo for the colors it'd be much appreciated.
Also, I'm probably going to build something like this for a place to put a turntable setup/records: http://a360.co/29Vr51N
feel free to tear into it, I don't want to put a lot of time into something that's going to end up looking shitty. Still figuring out how to do support and specific dimensions.

Thank you, friends. I will keep your suggestions in mind.
>>11504489
contemporary furniture is pure cancer
go behind a restaurant - one that you know won't have a lot of foot traffic - and steal their milk crates
just use those to hold your records
>>11503883
those cabinets and wood look cheap as fuck, ikea level
>>11504300
nice change, will never understand why americans prefeer ugly carpet to wood floor
Has anyone got the image of the room decorated with a shit tonne of foliage? I've been looking everywhere for it. Or just general interior foliage inspo.
Moving to Uni lets soon and I don't want my room to fuel my post student loan depression and regret.
>>11507064
same in uk, fucking disgusting
>>11506795
Yeah, that'd probably be a lot less pretentious, good looking out anon
>>11507151
This one?
>>11506795
>>11507217
Current milk crates don't actually fit LPs. I've only seen them stored in older ones, which aren't as easy to track down. I just use those stupid square ikea bookcases.
My bedroom. Reposting higher quality picture.
>>11501869
wouldnt this be terrible in real life
imagine bringing a man or woman back after a party or some shit and having to climb up and down that while drunk as fuck. also arent they kinda weird to have past the age of like 12?
genuine question, they look dope but are very impractical
>>11507330
shit television viewing angle / 10
>>11507349
Forget the stairs, look how much headroom you have over the mattress. You're going to have pretty boring sex up there.
>>11507349
Yes. A buddy of mine tried the whole "microhome" thing and discovered similar issues.
>>11507330
I love your aesthetic, but the clothes in the middle of the room and TV viewing angle bother me a bit. What do you do when you want to watch TV???
>>11506301

tfw will never be rich enough to afford one of these skyscraper apartments, these threads are fun but they always make me kinda sad
>>11507458
You'll get there. Assuming you aren't too concerned about getting a huge place, places like that can generally be had for about $3k/mo. or so, which isn't awful.
Case in point, joints like this are popping up in DC with some regularity:
http://www.zillow.com/b/parc-riverside-washington-dc-5hMpPw/
>>11503653
hey nice room !!
what's that thing your beds on ?? may i ask
>>11507458
idk, $300 000 might do it.
you put 30k down, and then get a reallly long mortgage, and instead of paying rent you pay 800/month to bank. then you literally never pay it off, but sell it later and get some of your money back
>>11507470
Unlikely. You'll need more in a good city for a nice view. 300k may buy you a very small condo in a decent city, but probably not in an amazing location. Floors with better views often have nicer apartments as people will pay a premium for the view. Then you have to pay for remodelling and nice furniture, and condo fees on top of your mortgage.
>>11507349
Just fuck them on the couch
I hate sex juices getting anywhere near my bed, a couch cushion is much easier to protect and wash than an entire mattress
>>11507519
sex is extrmely gross
i dont think it is effay now that ive been near girls
>>11507550
>>11507519
Do you twats not wash your sheets or some shit?
>>11507415
>I love your aesthetic, but the clothes in the middle of the room and TV viewing angle bother me a bit. What do you do when you want to watch TV???
Thanks. I turn the TV screen to the left which makes it face directly to me if I set on the left side of my window seat. I agree not the best view for other positions though.
The clothes rack is more parallel to my bed than it looks from the wide angle lens.

it's called a macbook pro
>>11507578
its some sort of laptop i think
>>11507465
what are you talking about, 3k a month is extortion
isn't rent supposed to be at max 33% of your income? renting a place like that, i would need to make over 100k NET. most people will never make that kind of cash, especially here. even in your example of a DC apt at 670sqft, it's still 2k, which is over 70k net. but most people pay well over 33% because they have to.
>>11507578
Are you fucking inept?
>>11507325
>>11504060
get a bunch of old mass market paperbacks. You can find them for super cheap, the yellowed pages have a nice warm color, and it makes you look well read. Even if it's just sci-fi and fantasy trash, you'd be amazed how many people are impressed if you just own books that haven't been turned into movies
>>11507846
I've been doing the same, albeit with hardcover books, and with the rule that I only buy shit I'd actually read (or have read). It's been fun.
>>11507751
I really hope you're posting that in agreement.

>>11508034
although technically my advice is a violation of global rule #1 =(
but I'm sorry it's good advice; those high and mighty milk companies can afford to lose a few plastic crates
fuck or you can just go to Sams Club and get wooden wine crates for free
there i cancelled out the theft by showing legitimate frugality
>>11503850
all those scratches on the floor..
>>11508047
>>11508041
I don't care if you steal. I care that in order to make them fit, you have to saw off one side. Fuck that, it looks ugly. Buy some shelves or track down old crates.

do those cheap plastic blinds bother you or do they actually block out sun?
>>11508357
how do i make one? can you tell me where to buy top / legs
>>11508407
They are blackout blinds so yeah they block out the sun, and they were not cheap haha.
>>11508430
The top is an old marble fireplace back. I got it off some guy on gumtree for £60.
The legs are called hairpin legs, £30ish from eBay.
The legs are screwed in to plywood, which then supports the marble top. I didn't feel the need to secure the top because its heavy as shit anyway and ain't moving. Hope that helps?
>>11507330
>>11504300
w2c sawhorse desk?
>>11508492
The trestle legs are from ikea I think £25. The top was cut to size from thick plywood from B&Q. Same wood used to make my coffee table.
While I'm at it, the floor lamp is a bamboo coat hanger and glass sphere table lamp. I put a colour changing LED in there to set the mood and impress the ladies.
ie. Your mum
>>11508543
how did you get this photo pink is it from the light?
>>11508543
>While I'm at it, the floor lamp is a bamboo coat hanger and glass sphere table lamp. I put a colour changing LED in there to set the mood and impress the ladies.
so dope. where can i get a Sphere lamp and color changing bulb?
>>11508357
really like the fact that you made yourself
can you take a pic of the bottom?
>>11508546
I got it from eBay but it's an ikea one. Last I checked it was 13£ I think.
The bulb is an auraglow 10w colour changing LED bulb from Amazon for £20. By far the most I've spent on a bulb, but totally worth it.
>>11507575

last question. what kind of curtains are those
do you have a link to a similar version?
>>11507489
mfw where I live a shitty home starts at 4 million if you are lucky.
fuckin Vancouver.
>>11508726
They're called roller blinds and they're black out which means no light passes through. No link- had to get them custom made because my windows are over 2m tall
>>11507415
>Those bedframes are annoying during sex.
fuck, are they really? even when they're pushed up against the wall?
What do the people that are able to afford these rooms do for a money?
>>11508854
Yep. The board at shin height only really serves to be annoying to accidentally kick against or to roll on. Happens more than you'd think.
>>11501909

kek being this jealous you have to make a thread about it
>>11507885
yeah, I buy too many books
can't walk into a bookstore anymore without walking out with something
it's gotta be a good book, usually a nice hardcover or a small pocket paperback that I can carry around easily
I don't think I'd ever buy a book just for the way it looks on a shelf
>>11501863
never out of the closet
>>11508543
this picture sounds like shoegaze
>>11508543
whats your job anon? curious how you can afford this shit. you have my goal room
aight so my room looks like shit right now because I just finished repainting it an icy blue color. I'm getting a smaller bed frame, possibly a floater, a new desk, dresser, and shelving for my books. I really like the comfy look with sick lighting like these:

>>11512118
ffs do panoramas not post normally on here?
>>11512130
theres definitely a lot of potential here
i sound dumb whenever i recommend it but i highly suggest ditching the bed frame for a very low one or nothing at all. i use pallets which look dope and just seem to give the room loads more sspace which yours might need
>>11507465
Patrick are you living in the burbs right now or in DC? I just moved up here for an internship in Tysons and live in Fairfax right now to save some money.
>>11512752
Low bed frames aren't that versatile imo. They work if the room is spacious or the other furniture fits. Imagine a big wardrobe next to this bed towering above for example.
They look good when it works but it's hard to make it work.
>>11513031
Arlington. You're doing the right thing, Tysons living is overrated.
>>11512752
Nah, you don't sound dumb at all. I was thinking about getting a floater or something but like >>11513063 it seems like they're a little hard to work with? I still might get a pallet though.
Does a daybed like pic related seem effay and also spacious? It'd be either this or a twin pallet probably.
>>11513110
Also
but without the trundle, shits kinda annoying
>>11513110
In my experience getting a bed with storage underneath for clothes is one of the most space saving things you can do. Just add a clothes rack for shirts, jackets etc. A clothes rack is also much less fussy about where it can be placed vs a wardrobe.
>>11507421
>effay

>>11507330
I've seen you in a few threads now, anon, and I just want to day that it gives me a warm and happy feeling to know that someone across the internet is communicating from such a beautiful place.
>>11513110
Be careful with pallets. Unless you want to go full unfinished wood and linen everywhere, it might end up looking really out of place. If you have a box spring (I can't tell from the photo), just get legs and maybe a headboard. Cover everything with a white cotton/linen bed skirt, and you'll still have storage space. Since you have white baseboards/framing, maybe get some art/posters/printed shit in plain white frames, or have accent furniture in white. Get some wall art regardless. Since it's a small room, try not to clutter it with stuff. I love your wall colour btw. My dining room is a really light blue.
Question that I don't know where to post so I'll post it here:
Recently bought a comforter and the tag says dry clean only. Would machine washing it really ruin the fuck out of it?

>>11503888
yeees, I've been looking for this picture
>>11507604
if you share it with someone else it's not too bad. and 70k is pretty average for a middle class computer programmer or some shit. obviously you wouldn't be able to afford it right out of college, but by your mid 30s or so it's not to unrealistic.

Need some help/suggestions- I have an odd space between the foot of my bed and the wall thats about 14 inches. What can I do with this space keeping in mind that often times my feet will dangle in this space so I don't really want anything that can be knocked over.
>>11508994
>>11513847
where the fuck are the blinds
does this man never have anyone looking into his room
does he never want less light
I hate my room so much right now, feel like it's so plain but EVERYTIME I try to decorate it ends up looking worse. Also how do you deal with your stuff on tables lookin like such clutter? Do you put everything in containers?
>>11514285
I also feel like it's completely detached from my closet/bathroom area
>>11513477
>it gives me a warm and happy feeling to know that someone across the internet is communicating from such a beautiful place.
What a wonderful thing to say. Thank you.
>>11513682
>do you read?
There's an inset bookcase the corner from where that picture was taken. I read 7-10 hours a week, mostly on art and society, and have finished 3 books recently. On the last 100 pages of No Logo by Naomi Klein which has been very informative. Highly recommended if you want to know just how deeply ingrained, yet pernicious, marketing is to our culture and don't mind a dense book.
>>11514259
Why do people own typewriters anymore?
>>11510510

>>11515662
There's no reason to own one really and that room looks more like a shop than a bedroom to me.
over half of these rooms would look like shit were it not for the bloom of white light coming from a window, which isn't even indicative of what you'd see in real life. Keep that in mind when designing your apartment.
>>11515819
This is very, very true. "Minimalist" rooms like this tend to feel a bit dingy without the overabundance of natural light. Not saying it applies to any of the rooms above, just my experience.
>>11513533
Thank you anon, all really helpful stuff :) If there's another interior design thread I'll post the final result and see if it's effay enough.
>>11514285
You have such a pretty room. It look so modern. You could do white/brown shelving since your door frame is brown and get storage. But seriously, is that a house or an apartment?
>>11515766
It is.
>>11513573
Holy shit every single morning youre going to wake up with a million splinters, it looks nice but thats just not going to work.

i think placing the bike there is on offseasons or when you are using annother bike for a long period of time. So you'd normally clean the wheels I guess.

Nothing in my room is too expensive- a lot of it is DIY. You just have to be creative :^)
I just work at a takeaway and i'm a fine art student. I'm lucky that my mother owns property (including mine) so I don't have to pay rent. I realise other people don't have the same privilege. But yeah just be creative and try upcycle things.
Here's my old room.
>>11518116
It ended up getting very cluttered with things on the wall and things lying around. Taught me to put things away regularly and not to own to much stuff.
Dude white rooms and ikea furniture lmao: the thread

>>11514285
>>11518495
consider some sort of bookcase/storage by that empty wall? You can put nice things on top like plants or record player or mirror etc.
>>11518505
Yeah I was thinking of something like that too. I was also considering putting some art in my room seeing as it's really barren.. Not sure how that would turn out though. I love blue but I don't think it goes with my room
>>11518505
also if it's small things on your desk that's bothering you, just get a small cabinet to put by your desk.
tried to clean up a little (don't mind the clothes on the bed) I think it feels better. Might look into art and small stuff holders tomorrow thanks /fa/
