I mean, this looks comfy as hell in the low light, but I feel if you turned on the lights it would look straight out of /r/battlestations/.

How can I make it comfier ? (Curtains color, light, plant disposition, bedside table, armchair)

maybe red lanterns on the sides of the white for the uncovered hanging lights? I like the El Huervo poster but the Hotline Miami one might be a little redundant. Also, move the picture of your family from the radiator to your desk. Maybe some red or maroon throw pillows?Looks comfy though.

general things to make rooms comfy:
- textures: blanket on bed, wool, carpet
- ambiance: multiple lights with lower lumens and warmer colors. a strict rule is to never use your main hanging lamp (unless you need a lot of light to check something or idk)
- wall decoration; posters, paintings
- aestethics: plants (also big ones in pots on the ground, hanging from bookshelves etc), books, artwork, props

your room is bretty gud, but lights look a little too bright. replace the bulbs for lower lumens and warmer light ($20-25) and it will greatly improve. get some indoor plants for $20 with pots and it will already be a ton better.

>>13015019
awesome post man, do you have any other tips for making spaces look good on the cheap?

I'm moving into a new apartment in May. I want my room (at least) to have a calm, chill vibe, but how can I avoid making my room look like a manchild's room? What are the Dos and Don'ts?

>>13015378
plants/avoid game posters n things of that nature. Sometimes less is more ya dig

>>13015019

>>13015371

>>13015378
no RGB LED lights. Try to stick to 3/4 colors. Don't mix wood, get some plants. For extra comfy get indirect lightning with warm light bulbs

>should've known it was eggleston

don't kid yourself now, it could have been made by some tumblr film using kid just aswell. it straight up looks like a modern motel.

I'm moving out soon and want to use the smaller of the two bedrooms as an office/art studio space. How do I keep it comfy? I've been restricted most of my life to never displaying my art or having proper tools, as well as not being able to freely decorate and furnish, so I'm not quite sure where to start.
Also, I'd be sharing the room with my boyfriend's computer work station, so I'd like to keep my own space small.

>>13017776

no it could not have

>>13015019
thanks for the advice anon

I want to rent an unfurnished place to avoid the aesthetic horrors of furnished apartments.

The trouble is, I would be renting it for only about six months. For that length of time, it would be more normal to go for a furnished place rather than having to buy furniture and then ditch it or pay to transport it. But I'll need to do it all over again for another six months, and so on for a few years.

So how do I make a place palatable and liveable with the absolute minimum amount of furniture?

I'm thinking True Detective-core, but I want more color. This is a serious bind for a maximalist decadent dude to be in.

>>13016964
I'll be honest with you, I'm not a plants, flowers and nature guy, but this is gorgeous, the apartment itself is beautiful, and the decoration really adds to the place.

Is this yours?

>>13018096
A place like that would be really depressing to live in. If you decide to go really minimalist at least get some art and shit so it's not too dead. Think of things you will be able to take along easily.

Anyone know any effay chairs? Currently have the Ikea markus but trying to get something more minimal, anyone tried this meme kneeling chair?

>>13019004
A friend of mine had it in the 90s, it was cool and comfy

>>13014611
Aside from what >>13015019 said, I would change the curtain and the sheets for ones in a darker tone with perhaps some pattern on it ( something warm, like baroque patterns for exemple ), and really change the lightning as said before.

>>13012493

Great now you can start saving up to replace the carpet with tile and wood flooring.

Get some sort of statue or object to be the centerpiece of your living room
The summer after I graduated from high school I got a Buddha statue that my friend's mom was going to take to Goodwill
I've used it as the center decoration in every dorm and apartment I've lived in
At this point it's one of my only possessions I care about

Long term, maybe get new bed covers/duvets? If you like your bed and it's comfy then keep the stuff but maybe look into different beds as well?

I was basically thinking of minimalist maximalism, which sounds like a contradiction, but basically means no furniture and lots of patterns.

I would have damask wallpaper and lots of rugs to start with.

>>13019498
...And I'm considering using a bare mattress for a bed, and stacked cushions for furniture. I would need a wooden coffee table and some lamps, but that's about it.

Those Japanese had it right, low furnature is comfy.

How not to do it. Not enough rugs to hide the cheap floor, not enough curtains to hide the cheap walls, lights too bright and too highly placed (you would want lamps on the floor,) too breezy and warehouse-like (you want closed off spaces; Japanese screens could work to divide a big room.)

You are just proving my point, look how bright and colorful all these pictures are, they are typical egglestone stuff, the photo I posted is not rreally typical of him.

>>13019961
you don't know as much about photography as you think. let's just end this here and stop de-railing this thread.

>>13019952
not really desu
i hang my jeans, trousers, sweatshirts, shirts and jackets. i fold my tees, knits, loungewear and underwear.

during the summer some pieces hang for months and they never get really dusty. they're probably dustier than other pieces, but if you shake it a lil you're fine.

only downside is that its tempting to get it off the hook through the neckhole, but this will fuck ur neckline the more you do it, depending on the thickness of the neckline fabric and stitching.

i like that chair but I feel like i've seen it in too many pornos now

>>13020567
Damn

>>13020576
It is basic color theory, this looks like made in Sims by a 12 year old, sorry bud.
Besides, green walls have bad effects on your psyche, they use walls like these in jail cells.

If you want green stuff, that is fine, but you have to pair it with fitting colors for it to look pleasing, this doesn't look pleasing quite objectively just because of the huge amount of green.

>>13020519
You can film yourself sitting in your room and then make the walls look like futuristic steel walls or something in post-production. That would be cool.

>>13018061

If you mist have the green, do a darker green with a slight gloss finish and put in some wood paneling; get rid of the desk and get something better.

Dont listen to those persons talking u into removing the green.
First whats under the carpet, hardwood?
If theres hardwood remove that uggly ass carpet, and let that floor shine.
Also ur having two or tree diferent types of wood in that room, remove the sofa legrest or change the tone of the bed frame to sdomething more matched.

the wood thing at the side of the table, ill remove it since the shape is out of place with the rest of the room.

Paint the wardrobe doors, ina dark olive green or Teal, i actually biased with teal so il lget Teal.
that room will work if yu darken it, yeah i know here everyone like white room white everything, but u can go for a dark boho, earthy vibe with thast room.
https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/9-dark-rich-vibrant-rooms-that-will-make-you-rethink-everything-you-know-about-color-226646
Get some black framed paints to hang in the walls, and also u can paint some missmatched stuff black.
Ill maybe pauint the bed, and polish those drawer knobs, to make them pop i actually like them a lot, but they dont shine that much like they ar now.
Also ill change the tapestry in the sofa, ill get black cloth for it.
Now i dont truly dislike anything u have, i really like the bed except foor the side thing, and i dont disliek the sofa, is jsut those two pieces dont work that well together.

Depends on the kind of work you're making. I like keeping my digital workspace and traditional art workspaceas seperate as possible. I also like keeping my desk as clean as possible, keeping only the essentials- but some people like organized chaos while working so really its up to how you like working.
But basically, you want an organized space with a designated spot for all your tools. Make sure to also keep a few things around that inspire you- this is meant to be a place of productivity so you want to have a space and things that will foster that.

rent must be 3k a month at least.

So I am finally leaving my govt job and going into the private sector, and I am planning on leaving my life in shitbox apartments in renovated old houses and hand-me-down furniture behind too. Ive actually got pretty nice bedroom stuff that I won't be replacing, but I need a new living room. I'll probably have 1-2k to spend. I also have a kitten who I can't seem to keep from climbing on couches/chairs, despite the cat trees, scratching posts and other shit I buy her. Any recommendations on where I should look for stuff? I don't have a new place picked out yet, so I am not 100% sure about style, but I like cloth, wood and darker or neutral colors, natural looking but sort of minimalist too. I used to keep a few plants but the cat is at war with them so they probably won't feature prominently in my new space unless I devise some way to keep her away from them.

>>13022947
LOL

try 5k or 7k....

>>13022971
Craigslist or Ikea will be your only options at that price range. I greatly prefer looking through Craigslist since you can score some great quality pieces. It just takes time. Make sure to check in nearby wealtheir areas too. Ikea furniture is shit and not worth the full retail price.

>>13023005
I could probably get another 1-2k if I asked for furniture as birthday gifts since I will be moving right around my birthday. I was curious about Ikea, it seemed so cheap but I like how a lot of their stuff looks. I've never known anyone who had any though and I usually don't believe internet reviews. I won't be moving to a big place, I'd like to live in a newer building and lot of the apartments I can afford in them are just 600-700 sq ft., so I won't have a ton of room. I don't do much entertaining either.

>>13023156
I also forgot to add that I have a very nice dark wood cabinet for my tv so I mostly just need a couch, a chair or two (or cushions or something), and a coffee table

Ikea's quality is shit. Literally the Zara of furniture. It'll take you hours to put together shoddily made furniture. If you have to, you can probably pick up some cheap Ikea bookcases off of Craigslist for around $40. Check local flea market and antique malls for good quality shit (especially wood) and don't feel like you have to rush to get most things other than the necessities. If you feel like splurging, hit up ABC furniture or Design Within Reach for some tastey Eames memes.

>>13023589
That's my problem with Ikea. Beautiful products and top-tier designs that break down minutes after you build it.

Ah okay, that’s too bad. Their stuff looks so enticing on the website. I have a couple months so plenty of time to hunt for things. I mostly want a decent couch, and am a little cagey about getting a used one that didn’t come from a parent or relative.

>>13023988
You can usually tell if a sofa's good or not depending on where you pick it up. If it's from a regular apartment or better it's usually not a problem. Go for ones owned by working adults vs college students and you'll be fine.

magenta lights to cancel out the green

What do you do if you have a light wooden floor but you want to go for an aesthetik with dark browns. Should I not go for that?
Like leather and dark wood stuff.

can be done if ur not going too dark and ur floor is actual wood, not lamination.

re-evaluate your choice tho before going balls deep, because darkwood and leather can go meme extremely fast (reddit, boots, outdoor, manly, men with style, industrial)-memes

>>13027806
It's just my couch and chairs that I want to be leather for quality reasons. Want my furniture to be darkwood and/or dark grey stuff. Plus plants / green elements. I'm not going for a manly look, I want a chill minimalistic looking place. My mental picture of that is looking good but I still am unsure a bit because most apartments have a floor with light wood or laminate.

I've found that shit like this leaves you with a hollow feeling if it doesn't happen organically (i.e. you drank some wine with your cozy gf and now you want to light candles but don't have stands etc. and you wake up and see that in the morning). If you like it from a Pure Aesthetic point of view I say go for it, but from your post it sounds like you're trying to capture an ambiance or are drawn to an implied lifestyle.

>>13033894
well is fashion not being "drawn to an implied lifestyle"? otherwise we could just wear clothing which we find pretty or practical with a complete disregard for brands, fashion trends etc

>>13033871
Maybe? I don't really see candles as romantic so much as an extremely cost effective lamp.

(I am more interested in avoiding negative connotations than in implying a lifestyle. So it's aesthetics minus the socially awkward aspects.)

I say cost effective because a lamp as cosy as a candle would need a warm light bulb, a dimmer function, a randomised flicker function, etc., none of which is spontaneous and therefore all of which is tryhard.

The bottle is the difficult element.
In a bachelor pad, it's spontaneous and casual in a way that a Victorian style candle lamp would not be. Unless of course I'm mistaken, and people see it differently.

A small thrifted candlestick could work in a bachelor pad, but the multiple candlesticks required for good lighting starts to betray effort.

Then again, you could also say that about multiple candles. (Multiple tealights are obviously out. You may as well buy a bunch of cats and potpourri at that point.)

Candles are difficult because they are potentially cheesy, but I love firelight, so this is worth further thought.

What do people think about color changing lights? I've been considering them for a while. Do you think they look good/can make a good ambiance?

>>13034303
No, they're cheesy as fuck.

>>13034303
Kind of a novelty. I would stick with warm, yellowish lighting with other colours derived from the decor, or from a tint in the lampshade or lamp glass.

>>13034303
If you do not go overboard like in that pic it is fine. Can't be too bright if its colored light or it looks like in a brothel. Natural colored light as in yellow or orange-ish, even red-ish is okay and can be brighter.
If you actually want use out of them colored light can be acceptable, I have an orange backlight for my monitor, if I turn on my other lights, which are very warm, the LEDs turn into a red-ish purple. Which keeps my eyes from getting stressed and it still looks pleasing.

Complete Red light for rooms at night are also acceptable, since you keep most of your nightvision. Very useful and cheap.

If you do it right, LEDs can greatly improve atmosphere.

need some help on wall decorations...Moved into my first flat, 1 bedroom, and essentially every wall is undecorated. Any suggestions? Do's/Don'ts?

Disregard all these normal Normans; color changing lights are fantastic if you use them in a really exaggerated way, like to the point of a Refn film. Have you ever tried fucking a girl in extremely red light, it actually changes your perception of the experience, it can make you feel more carnal, like you're fucking a whore. If you are at all sensitive or artistic you'll find that lighting can really dramatically affect your experiences. This works especially well if you watch films with dramatic visuals because you'll develop strong associations to certain lighting schemes. Obviously these should be used only when you're feeling it, not just a regular part of your everyday lighting or they'll just become stale. Think of it like another card in the deck for leveraging feeling out of an experience, like drugs or music.

The picture you posted is probably the most banal way you could use them, but fine if you're doing something practical like preventing eye strain or whatever.

Here's my room, Pls r8

+++++++plants, low warm lighting
+bedlinen, lightweight desk

- - - - -too much furniture packed together, not enough floor space (picture angle isn't helping)
- - wall color (if it's actually tan) + generic lounge chair give hotel vibe (obviously my hugely subjective personal feeling)

>>13034276
Dude...
Friend...
Sir...
You're overthinking this. I think it'd look cool if you had a whole bunch of them clustered together. It'd also look unique enough to get away from some the restaurant thing and more into the artsy look without seeming too tryhard.

>>13035412
Great critique. I agree, especially on the lack of space. You should get rid of the chair in the corner and replace the armchair with something better looking and no ottoman. You can always put the pillow on the bench and use that as a footrest.

Thank you for input fellas, just put the recliner in there because it's just too damn comfortable to nap on after a long day

>>13034276
I want to light my room up with candles but it's small and I don't have any furniture except a bed. Any solutions that won't end in burning to death?

>>13035826
Cities are only tolerable in the rain.

Just use a candle on a stable stand and don't knock it over.

>>13036114
a. square 4 legged stool in the corner + fat candle directly on it
b. wall mounted candle holder

This design is a little cute for me (and dodgy - string near a flame?), but it could work if you put the candle jar on a shelf.
It would need to be a top shelf to avoid smoke stains on the underside of the shelf above.

>>13035460
Yes, but overthinking things is practically a sport for me. Anxiety doesn't play a part in it.

>>13027322
Is that a chelsea wolfe hoodie on the right?

>>13036862

That's not a real candle, it's one of those LED ones.

Is having plants exempt from criticism?

>>13027322
You need less plants. I would keep the big fern and maybe one other

>>13037083
Those exist? What a horrible concept.

My biggest concern for candlelight is making it look habitual and not romantic. I don't want to take a girl to my place and have her believe that I lit the candles for her benefit. That would be unspeakably lame, at least in the context of a date.

>>13037274
get a see-through trash can and make sure it's full of used up tealight candles

>>13037274
>>13037298
but honestly who cares
> girl: haha candles how romantic
> you: actually I use them all the time
> girl: yeah right
> you both laugh

how is it lame?

>>13037274
...Getting back to my pleasant overthinking on candles in wine bottles, the wax running down the sides would make it very clear that I use candles on a regular basis and that this isn't a breaking out the fine china type situation.

>>13037310
It's lame on the crude and cruel level of sizing each other up.

This image is inching in the right direction but the wheeled furniture leaves it in the realm of the uncomfy.

Too small and too cluttered with knickknacks but getting there.

Would be better if you had a proper bad-stang (and not a shitty stained matress on the floor) and you should spend a little bit of money to get a higher quality vinil holder and wardrobe.

You mean the 'rice ball'?
If yes I have the same and it's from IKEA.

>>13037357
>>13037274
the way to do it is to buy wide candles and put them onto a surface together. Let them burn for a while until the wax melts down around their bases and fuses them together. Shows that its used without having to go for the wine bottle, which i always feels looks a bit shit.
I tend to put my candles on samples of marble i get from work. looks nice and its easy to remove the wax once the candles burnt down.

>>13038773
That looks so fucking uncomfortable holy shit, nothing that gets used as seating should be that deep. I guarantee you'd spend more time using it as seating than a daybed.

>>13037390
You gotta get into that mid eighties Paisley Underground vibe. Delicious psychedelic music but tempered by a diy punk attitude.

>>13039240
The point of those kind of large low cushions is that you can sit cross legged on them or stretch out and lean against one of the walls, but yeah. I agree that there are comfier options.

What are some easy to care for plants I can add to my room?

>>13019070
this is absolutely incredible, basically what my dream is. where can i find a place to live like this? holy shit its so good

>>13039719
You'll need a brick warehouse and a trust fund to start.

It's a space in Chicago. It's been at times a rehearsal space, event space, living space, and general creative space. It's reportedly pretty run down and the heating bill is massive.

Are these things effay if done right?

looks very tryhard in this configuration. With mismatched boxes and a similar 'found' aesthetic in the rest of the space it can work.

i love these hairpin plant stands

looks very cold imo, i think you need something like a rug or a print with a bit of colour to make the room pop. also add plants

>>13041770

Pretty nice and even better, it seems legit unlike most in these threads with re-posts and random net pics.

Every single danish uni student living in Aarhus or Copenhagen's room. Variations are curtain colors, plant choice, wall art, and amount of old tuborg boxes for storage. Aside from that, they all look the fucking same.

>>13041947
the lights sound nice, but i still think it should have something bright that draws the eye. maybe not as vibrant as pic related but you get the idea. as it is theres a lot of silver and grey. not a bad thing necessarily but id have at least one other colour there. also tidy up the stuff near your boots so it doesnt look like clutter down there

Rate my cozy zone, lads. Forgive shit cellphone job, the lighting is 10x better out here now, especially with the blizzard.
