Care about furniture.

I respect walnut. I respect oak. It doesn't matter.

Hey guys, time to buy a new couch. Wife wants an overstuffed sectional, I'm trying to keep it a bit more minimal. I'd rather stay away from Ikea and I'd like something a bit unique. Capping it off around 2k give or take. Recommendations?

[BrokenGlass]

nice sofas can be had here

I just got a studio apartment im looking for space saving/aesthetic interior decoration ideas. (ho homo haha)

I dont know anything about home decor or furniture. I just know i want the place to look sleek.

I dont like the idea of someone coming in my apartment and just seing my bed. Where can I find a room divider/bed combo like this?

Yo, can you explain the joining just a little more in detail? Specifically

5. Joining the two pieces is a complete pain. Use strips of paper and glue on the back. I originally used duct tape and it would tear apart at the seams and looked very unclean.

So you basically just forced 2 pieces of posterboard together after folding 30º60º90º along the back?

thanks mate. this looks pretty ridiculous.

[Mewtu]

pillowcase looks whack, but dis my room

[Osmosis Jones]

My current garage. It's 2.5 cars deep so I get the entire back to myself.

the dryer duct is actually being used as an exhaust vent so i can tune/sync carbs without opening the garage door.

Just got my first place. A studio appt downtown. Its small but i like it.

Here are some pics...nothing much to show besides the view haha. Ill post some better ones when the stuff is delivered/installed

Looks awesome. The chair looks like it might get tiring after a while though?

Its close to there, maybe a couple blocks away.

Anyways finally got my TV mounted and couch deliver. The rest of the furniture is here but will be installed tommorow. Ill post pics then.

[sensible shoes]

anyone who has good visionary skills (?) or photoshop skills. I want to repaint my room and cannot work out what colours would suit.

will post pics soon. currently lime green walls+bright red skirting (colour-choice-of-my-12yr-old-self concept)

ceilings are 3m-ish so i need something that can cosy up the space

[koven]

OK so i'm half moved in. I haven't spent the night there yet. Still buying furniture and stuff. The reason I chose this design is because I didn't just want my bed out there in the open, I think with this design Its somewhat concealed. I read every page of this thread and a bunch of other threads like this, I also looked at a million google images of studio apartments for inspiration haha.

The place is dirty because people have been walking around in shoes and the stuff was being installed. The floor needs a good polish.

Still need an ottoman/coffee table, a computer chair, and some other small things like curtains and stuff.

[koven]

edit Got the curtains, computer, and internet/cable hooked up. Im not going for a total black/patrick bateman/bachelor look but there were no other curtain colors I was feeling. These ones are black on one side and white on the other so If I end up not liking black ill just swich them around.

Theres a few more things I need to figure out. Like where to mount a mirror and where to store my bike (dont want to store it on the balcony). What do do with the wires from the TV/Cable box. Im supposed to meet someone from craigslist tommorow to get an ottoman.

i couldn't work on a chair like that for more than 20 mins. place looks very surgical yo!

[sensible shoes]

those cables are going to cause so much strife. get your foot caught and i can see a domino effect ruining all that impressive gear

[sensible shoes]

ok so this may be just a total hit n miss request, but I havent been able to find anything on the interwebs that i could apply to my own room

pretty much looking for suggestions on a colour palette for the room. currently lime green with lipstick red edges (yep)

as you can see in the pics, there is some edging along the roof and a picture frame type edging about a 3rd of the way down the wall.

ive also got a big-fuck fireplace in the room aswell a fairly large white built in wardrobe. the ceiling is about 3m high so im looking to paint above the picture frame line, in a darker colour

again. this may be totally redundant but I thought maybe someone works in the field of interior design or design/art in general and can give me some ideas for colours.

FYI polished floor boards and two (2m H x 1m W) windows...so lots of light

[skiniks]

http://kuler.adobe.com/ could help with that.

thats exactly what i was looking for. thanks broseph. i might post up some of the potential colours in here for feedback
