superliving: your room / closet / house / apartment

[StrangeweatherYawn]

I'll take a full pic of my room when i've cleaned it but for now , here's my reading corner. It's a comfy chair under a skylight for that natural light and a glass table because lets face it , if your table isn't glass then it isn't fashionable lol.

[Spaghettini]

do you step over the glass table to get to the chair?

[Denton]

is that another table next to it too?  so it's like the reading penalty box?

Was looking at the Token Tea Chair but for 1k a pop I think not.  Any similar chairs with a easier pricepoint.

I've had good luck emailing my favorite photographers.

 

Does anyone have good examples for living in a small rooms or spots I could find inspiration? I'm in school and pretty much just have my room to control and my room is super small.  I've pretty much just got furniture that I got for free in there and my mattress on my floor because I don't want to spend a bunch of money until I have an idea of what I want to do.  I've looked around a bit on apartment therapy so any other good sites or photos would be sweet.  I'm trying to find good stuff on living in small spaces as well because I have a lot of things and not a lot of space.

poor photos, especially with it being so dark and the iphone's panorama making a few areas look oddly stitched together.

[finnmusic]

Selling this place, as my wife wants to move to south London. Not too deep into the furniture game - cheap reproductions all the way...

Where can I find that artwork?

[EG562]

james jarvis?

[skeetinmynose]

I'm sick of buying frames for posters/prints I make. Does anyone have suggestions as far as frameless solutions? Sleeves?

[zayyarwinthein]

^ Though do you know where I could find some good quality, simple frames ? I've been in the hunt for some for awhile and just can't find any I like.

[Quiver]

^^could go with a clipboard 

 

 

^doesn't ikea ribbas fit that bill?

[skeetinmynose]

Clipboard is sort of cool for small prints, but reminds me of visiting manufacturing plants for work. Ideally I want something that doesn't add a border and lets the art sit alone, hence no frame.

 

I was at Giant Robot 2 the other day and they hang everything with regular stationary-use binder clips hanging on thumb tacks. I kind of like the ghetto-minimal approach, but over time the prints will rip, which is why I considered sleeves.

[dimmak]

I've had success getting some of my stuff shrink-wrapped, where they put it against foam core and heat-shrink around the print. It's usually meant for storing posters, but imo it looks good enough to put on the wall, and typically costs $10-12 at a framing store. Here's one of my pieces I've put up this way

 

 

 

Throw one of these guys on the back and you're set:

What about pinning them up ?

[ProfMonnitoff]

clipboards look like some apartment therapy shit. if you don't want to spend the money to frame something, it probably shouldn't be on your wall in first place.

[skeetinmynose]

If I wanted to avoid ripping/creasing my stuff, I probably wouldn't want to put holes in it, either.

Sorry! Meant to +rep.

 

That's exactly the type of solution I was thinking. Can you choose how glossy/matte the wrap is? Are there any folds on the edges from the plastic wrapping around?

 

I found large toploaders for posters and such but most of the ones I saw had very visible edges and didn't offer some of the dimensions I need.

[dimmak]

I doubt you'll find anywhere with options for gloss/matte; I don't even know if that's possible. Like I mentioned, it's typically for storage. They cut the foam core to the size of the print, line them up, and shrink-wrap the whole thing. Since the foam core is cut to size, the print stays completely flat and isn't creased/folded, even at the corners. I like to do it bc it looks good and is cheap, you really just end up paying for the cost of the foam core. Any framing store will do it for you.
