Man I really want that vanity

>>10362562
I'm one of those anons who always recommends konmari, glad it worked out for you OP! I sometimes keep one or two blouses in my general closet though but mostly because I find them really pretty and seeing them there also sparks joy haha

>>10362568
I always love how this looks but I imagine it would be annoying as fuck to clean.

>>10362575
I hang all my lolita just because it sparks joy. The shoebox trick majorly come in handy to organize accessories though

I wish I had bought paint and such before all the delivery dates on Amazon got extended. Oh well. I'll have to settle for reorganizing and decluttering.

I'm slowly working on transforming my "hasn't changed in 15 years" bedroom with boring brown furniture into something light and airy and nice. Even just changing up my bedspread and curtains for something lighter made a huge difference.

>>10363142
I don't believe in "chi" and "energies" and all that bullshit, but I found that following feng shui furniture positioning massively made my room feel bigger and airy. The rules of it are just great at making rooms feel and appear more spacious.

I don't open my bedroom blinds, so I clip my hairclips to the cords. I also hang my hook-style earrings on the blinds, but those aren't jfashion so I won't include them. You can imagine.

>>10362569
Where do people buy nice looking mannequins to display dresses on? rather, ones guaranteed to fit the proportions?

>>10363179
weird and pathetic.

>>10363179
Your accessories are cute and all but... why the blinds out of all places. Just use some cute ribbons and glue them on a frame or something geez

>>10363190
>>10363241
To be fair I think Misako did that in her room tour some time ago? Some gull can probably dig up the video

>>10363189
You can buy an adjustable mannequin

How are you ladies going to have your kawaii lolita room when you get married and share a room with husband

>>10363179
Cute! Makes your blinds prettier

>>10363247
still fucking weird as hell. blinds collect the most dust out of any place in your room too!

>>10363327
My entire house is full of romapri furniture and my fiance loves it.

>>10363327
>romapri
my boyfriend literally couldnt give less of a shit about room decor

>>10363336
how did you coordinate the delivery of that? shopping service?

>>10363327
>>10363327
In my experience, men don't decorate their spaces at all. They have basic furniture needed to survive and that's it. So they generally don't give a fuck if you want to decorate, it's not like you're taking something from them

>>10363327
I have my own room, closet and bathroom seperate from the main bedroom we sleep in. Lifesaver and it's great to have my own space.

>>10363327

Needing to share a bedroom with my husband as the smallfolk do? I couldn't.

>>10363327
He'd have to suck it up, my furniture and room decor is part of my aesthetic. It's either all or nothing, I wouldn't change my clothing style for a man either.

>>10363327
I have a guest room/library that is basically entirely my own which I decorate much more elaborately than the rest of the house. The bedroom itself is for sleeping, so it's calm and uncluttered.

>>10363336
>look at me guys look at meeeeee im better than youuuu

>>10363327
He gets his man cave, I get my lady den

>>10363327
We're all lesbians

>>10363327

my fiance and i got into an argument that i decorated the second bedroom better than our bedroom so there you go i guess he likes kawaii decor.

I'm trying to buy a desk for my home office. Does anyone have recommendation for stores that sell girly furniture? I also need it to be pretty large for multiple screens, so I don't know if children's furniture will cut it.

>>10363327
Jokes on you I'm gay and my GF loves how I decorate uwu

>>10363327
My bf doesn’t care, plus he likes my cute stuff. I love watching him casually drink from kawaii mugs. Shit is cute

>>10363327
Men have no concept of aesthetic so why do they care.

>>10363327
My hubby likes kawaii/anime stuff too so he doesn't really mind. Our bedroom is pretty kawaii-ified, but he's not in there a whole lot except for sleeping. We try to keep the living room a little more neutral and his personal office space is plain, so he isn't surrounded by my pastels and fluff all the time.

>>10363462

>>10363554
Buy a nice, big table. You can store shit elsewere

>>10363338
shopping service. it cost a fuckload of money. shipped with UPS freight and nothing broken. i also bought some chairs from westhouse gallery on rakuten.

>>10364019
>chairs are 400 dollars min
God damn how loaded are you anon?

>>10364070
more than likely, it's her husband that's loaded. good for her t b h

>>10363405
boo hoo

>>10364343

Nayrt but why are people so into assuming this? A lot of us are in high paying jobs, we can afford our own pricy kawaii shit.

Anyone have any taobao shopreccomendations?
I used to have a ton favorited from 2010, but none of them exist anymore.

>>10364450
it's just a statistical fact that most women don't have high-paying jobs like engineer or ceo or whatever

>>10364450
Going by lolita profiles on FB, it honestly seems like 95% of lolitas have shitty entry level jobs. There's a lot of posts about how their boyfriends/husbands "spoil" them by buying them brand and all that.

>>10364450
alternative fashions in general (goth, punk, whatever) attract people who are able to dress abnormally without it affecting their careers. Also attracts a lot of artists, most of which are not exactly rolling in money. You wouldn't see a doctor or CEO going out and about in lolita

>>10364477
While true it's more that lolita doesn't attract real winners.
Most people I know in lolita are just kinda lazy and they focus all their attention on various dumb hobbies. Which there's nothing wrong with, but I don't know why it's a surprise why they don't make as much money as programmers.

>>10364514
I know lolita programmers. Lots of female weebs are computer nerds who learned about this shit online so it's not really unsurprising.

>>10364514
Half of the portion of my comm with jobs are in tech

>>10364627

A lot of my lolita friends with good money are in tech, marketing, and more employable creative disciplines. That or online influencers working part time.

Ok make your own thread if you want to talk about how much lolitas make.

>>10364762
I have a ton of general princess-y and mori rooms. I also have lots of pictures to address certain storage woes I encountered as a crafter and lolita. If you post your storage problem I might have something

Would anyone be interested in either/both?

>>10364541
>>10364627
>>10364712
considering only 20% of tech jobs are held be women, with most of them being middle aged indian women on visas, i doubt you all know sooo many women who are in tech and lolitas to boot

>>10364765
Yes I'm interested in both! I also want to see more shoe and bag storage. I'm also wondering about any way to store pillows, blankets, dakis too (doesn't have to be cute, just my fiance and I combined have too much)

>>10364773
For bags, these are all the methods I've seen

- Stack them on a shelf like >>10364760, you can double up like this pic if you have a lot of vertical space
- Hang them on hooks on walls, back of doors, or on a mounted shelf like >>10364762 (best method for tote bags)
- Hang them from back of doors on specialty hangers (pic incoming)
- Display them in cubes

Some non-lolita fashion bloggers I follow store their smaller bags within larger ones to save space. It's not my preference because I like to see everything at once or I
forget what I own.

Also, be careful of what you use as the hanging point. I used to hang by the handle but the seams got stressed and starting separating from the bag. If they have a longer strap, opt for that instead.

>>10364779
Sorry for the shit photo. I took this screenshot from a lolita wardrobe tour video. She had these specialty door hangers for handbags. I saw them on Amazon before.

>>10364780
I forgot to mention another method. If you have enough space on a clothing rack, you can get shower curtain rings to hang them. There are cuter designs for shower curtain rings you can use

>>10364773
Next up, shoes! Shoes are a tough one for me. I organize mine in a color gradient to make it more visually pleasing.

- I'm partial to shoe racks like this >>10364760. You can get them in varying heights/customizable heights to fit in different sized closets. The downside is they're not great for boots or taller shoes.
- I stack taller shoes and boots neatly beside each other. I put pool noodles in them to give them a shape if they can't up by themselves
- Shoes can be placed in cubes or the lower parts of bookcases/shelving, but it takes discipline to remember to clean them
- I tried under the bed shoe containers when I had carpet but it was a pain to drag them out. I now have hardwood floors, so I plan to use this idea of drawers with casters and adjustable drawer dividers.
- A classic is a back of the door organizer. The ones with shoe pockets are good for just flat shoes. But there are some that are suitable for heeled shoes

>>10364773
I don't have anything specific for linen storage because I'm lucky enough to have a dedicated closet for it all.

I came up with a few ideas.
- If you get some under the bed containers that close (to keep dust out), under the bed is an option
- A trunk or suitcases. You can get some lovely vintage ones that you can repaint/line with fabrics to make more aesthetic. Certain trunks can be converted into benches/seats so it can double as a piece of furniture.
- Cubes can be used anything lol, pic somewhat related
- If you have space or an underused chest of drawers, you can store in there
- You can get an ottoman that opens up, you can burrito roll blankets and keep them in there
- A lot of the home decor magazines use woven baskets for blanket storage. They don't take up a lot of space

>>10364759
Oh I like your neopets :)

Ok anons, some help is needed here. I have very limited wardrobe space and I find that I need to squeeze my normie shit and lolita stuff together. I want to find a way for all my stuff to be easily accessible and tidy once and for all.

>>10364811
Anon you're an angel!! All your suggestions have been amazing and I'm excited to try things out. I live in a small apartment so I'll probably try a combination of all your suggestions. I appreciate you taking your time out to help me out.

>>10364796
Also, I think target already has storage containers with wheels that can roll out of your hardwood floors so hopefully that helps!

>>10364627
>Half of the portion of my comm with jobs
And what portion have jobs? That you have to say it like this is highly suspect.

>>10364983
The rest are teens/students/disabled, also I did not count people whom I've seen twice over 5 years that I know nothing about

>>10364765
Gosh, who sells furniture like this? I love it.

>>10364772
Could be they just live in an area with a lot of tech jobs. I know a lot of women in tech but it is because of the area I live in/the circles I run it. If you tend to hang out with people in tech the women you know also tend to be in that job.

>>10364772
they're prolly all brave transwomen who do speedrunning on the side.

>>10364477
almost all of the women in my comm are well salaried with benefits. Lolita isn't a hobby for poor people.

>>10364772
Lolita is a small hobby. Every lolita in the world could start programming tomorrow and it wouldnt make a dent on those numbers. Go be an idiot somewhere else

>>10365131
nta, but lolita being such a small hobby means the chances of so many of them being in tech that are also all in anon's comm is really low. anon said half the people in her comm are, but she also was super vague about how many people that is.

>>10365195
Not really. A lot of lolitas are weebs and nerds go into tech. Like half the jfashion people I know are in tech or engineering jobs too

>>10364772
Do you really think that women into lolita constitute a representative sample of the general population?

Does anybody have recommendations for a nice full-length mirror with gothic vibes? Lots of what I find are boring rectangles or things that are labeled as full length but aren't

>>10365205

If your budget is on the cheaper side, an antique store may be your best be. I found lots of ornate baroque mirrors there, and because it's cheap you may not have as many qualms painting it black.

Also, I found this when I typed 'gothic mirror' into google search. Seems the right size at least, even if it's a bit pricy?

https://www.wayfair.com/decor-pillows/pdp/willa-arlo-interiors-crown-rectangle-standing-wall-mirror-wlao2130.html?piid=22859013

>>10365195
>>10364772
This is funny as a woman who happens to wear lolita and studies computer science. Most lolita's are weebs and on the nerdier side, they aren't typical woman.

>>10365232
it has nothing to do with being typical or not. it's just statistics. miss me with that quirky girl shit.

>>10365210
That one you linked looks really nice, and it seems pretty reasonably priced compared to some of the other stuff I've been seeing. For some reason my google search turned up a bunch of stuff that was 500+ bucks.

>>10365244
>>10365232
found same one at walmart in multiple colors

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Milton-Green-Stars-Gisela-Full-Length-Mirror-17-75W-x-67H-in/133763168

>>10365237
I think they mean they align with the subset of women who go into computer science more than the general populace, which is completely true

>>10365094
I'm literally in the bay area and can confirm that most of the tech women here are Indian or Chinese H1Bs.

>>10365128
>>10365131
>>10365198
>>10365203
>>10365232
Again, most of the lolitas I see on FB have low paying jobs like retail or teaching and depend on their bf/husband for expensive stuff like lolita. I'm not in a local comm but that's what I see online. While there definitely are some with high-paying jobs, it does not seem like the majority whatsoever.

>>10365255

It's entirely possible that people with lower paying jobs or no jobs have more time to post on social media.

>>10365255
>>10365257
This. Also we're unlikely to have bs social media because we actually hear about it's security issues.

>>10365203
>>10365198
"Nerd" doesn't equate to "STEM" though.
Yeah most lolita are geeks or nerds but it's for shit like marvel movies and anime.
I'm not denying there are some lolitas who have high paying jobs but MOST don't.
Probably the best argument that most lolitas aren't stem geniuses is the amount of them who read "most don't have good jobs" as "there are absolutely no lolitas with high paying jobs as all"
Then again that's pretty autistic so maybe you guys are all programmers.

Fuck all you retards, post rooms or shut the hell up.

I'm a big fan of gallery walls, especially for a goth aesthetic.

Coming up with ways to store/display stuffed animals can be tricky. Just leaving them in a pile on the couch doesn't make for a nice looking room, you know?

>>10365308
i use pic related for mine.

>>10365270
lol what? this is pure autism.

>>10365523

>>10365308
Just moved and its for sure getting difficult to fit all of them in a single room.

>>10365787
You, like my wonderful girlfriend have a problem. She tends to hoard stuffed animals because it makes her feel better about not having a pet.
I've been saving ideas for storage and put a no more plushies rule into effect (no more until we get a dog that is)

I liked this sort of storage, so I'll probably recreate it with cube shelves in the future for larger plushes and shelves like the last picture for smaller plushes. Your room looks tiny so look into under bed storage.

*ahem*
...
...
...
*COOF*

I think phoneposters are immune

Tf?

>>10365798
Im not worried about my room being small, its just that we got a king sized bed. They all fit but just barely. Most of the friends are me and my husbands childhood dolls that we cant part with. But I think with two more nets, we should be good.

>>10363337
THIS. Everyone is always asking how my husband can stand our cute bedroom.... like he doesn’t care? He has one poster and really doesn’t spend much time in our room unless he’s sleeping. He’s usually at his desk in the living room playing games and even with that space that’s all his he doesn’t go out of his way to decorate it or anything.

>>10366010
>>10365787
Are you renting a place or is it your own?
Can you paint the walls or no?

>>10366010
This is my nightmare. How are these toys making you happy when they are just shoved into nets and spilling out over the space you are meant to relax in? Accept that you do not need to cling to every vestige of your childhood, and donate them. Three or four well cared for toys is a better use of your space and energy than three hundred you barely look at and are treated like crazy hoarder people’s things

>>10364477
>>10364772
>>10365237
You genuinely sound autistic. I don't mean that in the overused edgy 4chan insult way, I mean it literally.

>>10364477
>>10364772
>>10365237
>your personal experience doesn't line up with muh statistics so I don't believe you!
>disregarding obvious variables like the fact tech jobs are very condescend in big cities, which is also where most comms are, as well as the fact lolita is an expensive hobby that attracts girls that tend to skew nerdy and are more likely to be attracted to tech
You genuinely sound autistic. I don't mean that in the overused edgy 4chan insult way, I mean it literally.

>>10366578
anecdotes are called that for a reason. also those are atleast 2 different people lol...

>>10366587

The people discussing people with high paying jobs in their comms are different too.


Like I mentioned people with decent income in my comm have MULTIPLE different kinds of jobs (tech, marketing, creative work that's higher paying like graphic design, influencers) and people instead focused only on comments discussing tech specifically as if that's the only non in which you can make a decent amount of money to be able to afford lolita.

Lolita isn't difficult to afford if you make more than minimum wage or have an average salaried job. Even something like administrative (secretary) work could make it easy to afford lolita. It's not a poor person's hobby (as much as people want it to be) but also not unfathomable for a woman to afford without being bankrolled by a wealthy man.

>>10363327
>Assuming everyone here will marry

>>10366664
The convo wasn't about lolita, it was about how anon was talking about buying chairs that cost $500 each. People jumped in to say that anon paid for that with a hypothetical high paying job.

>>10366684
Thanks for explaining that part!

Even so, $500 each for chairs isn't even crazy expensive for furniture?

I probably wouldn't spend that much myself but if you buy new from a furniture store, etc I can see how it would rack up and lots of people buy that type of stuff on credit. Idk I'm definitely not rich but maybe my perception of what's expensive is different than others'

>>10366740
>lots of people buy that type of stuff on credit.

This always concerns me. Maybe I'm just conservative with money.

>>10366684

people asked if she was loaded then someone assumed that she had a loaded husband, so actually the other way around. just look up the thread.

My take on stuffed animals: pick out 1-5 and put them on your bed or shelf etc. Put the rest in storage and every few weeks, rotate the selection you have displayed. When it's time to change the selection you can re-discover a stuffed animal and get a new appreciation of them because you haven't seen them in a while.

Those stuffed animal nets are so ugly!! You can do better gulls

>>10366800
Homemade nets made from cute fabric are nice though. I agree that the cheap amazon nets are ugly.

>>10362593
I think it depends what your environment is like. I live close to the ocean in a temperate climate and it doesn't seem to be as dusty compared to other anons who see open displays and are like nope. I would probably dust my shelves and surfaces every 2-3 weeks and get barely anything on a damp cloth, but other people talk about it getting on their clothes with open racks and wardrobes

>>10364828
Do you have space for a tallboy outside of your wardrobe? You need less shit in your wardrobe if you want it to be easily accessible, there's no magical hack for that unless you want to really pare everything back to the barest minimum capsule

>>10366010
Yikes. Is there not another room or a way you can get some decent storage shelves? This looks like my room when I was 13.

>>10366010
this is some childs bedroom level shit dude.

>>10366797
They did initially but people were defending her saying she probably had a nice job and started talking about others they knew with a good job.

>>10366811
>poorfag attic room

>>10365303
Anyone know where to get these blocky pink cubby holes?

>>10365308
>>10365332
Use a bookshelf, guys. Please don't display them in cheap laundry baskets.

>>10366010
Jeez, dude. You might be a hoarder. These stuffed animals don't even look cute and happy, they look like the life is being crushed out of them.

>>10365787
>>10366010
I can't imagine being so shameless and posting all those hoarded stuffed animals. Some look like repeats of the same thing, just different colors or sizes. You don't need all of that anon! I understand it's from your childhood but this extreme amount looks like you weren't loved as a kid and only had stuffed animals for friends. Getting more nets won't fix that.

>>10366010
>Most of the friends are me and my husbands childhood dolls
Yikes. Referring to toys as friends. You're supposed to be an adult to be on here. You might need therapy.

>>10366981
>What;s wrong with attic rooms?

>>10367001
i store mine, i don't display them lol. i only have a few that i leave out at a time, i rotate them pretty often!

>>10362562
what would be the best way put away ur bonnets? I have lots but I dont have enough wig heads for them to go around

>>10367168
>>10367169
nta but wow fuck off with this. nothing wrong with collecting toys as an adult. /toy/ is full of us who do so.

>>10367387
They have a hoarding problem, someone who loves their stuffies wouldnt overcrowd them like that.
There are ways to properly put them on display.
Do you think people on /toy/ would cram all their toys into a hanging basket and show off their rooms like that? No, that lacks love.

>>10367387
there's 100% nothing wrong with collecting stuffed animals as an adult, but there is 100% something wrong with calling them friends and being platinum cringe.

>>10367399
this is also fucking cringe. you sound like a retard ageplayer. stop trying to humanize toys.

I really want to display my dresses in my room but I'm not sure whats the best / safest option? any advice?

>>10364828
Get some bins and file fold shit and put those on the top shelf.

The soft hanging shelves are doing you no favors. It would be better to get something hard that you can put more file-folded bins in.

Get multi-hangers that you can hang several items of clothing from. They’re a lifesaver. There are different ones for shirts and pants/skirts. Real space saver.

I cannot recommend enough watching the Marie Kondo series on Netflix. I didn’t get rid of shit but properly folding and organizing my clothes and identifying my needs helped everything get so much better (ex: I bought a freestanding rack to hang some of my clothes on).

>>10367407
I'm not an ageplayer, I have children and thats what they call their stuffed animals. pretend I used "stuffed animals" rather than stuffies for a second.
it changes what I said to
"They have a hoarding problem, someone who loves their stuffed animals wouldnt overcrowd them like that.
for the sake of /cgl/ lets change it to "lolita dresses"
They have a hoarding problem, someone who loves their dresses wouldnt overcrowd them (throw them into a pile) like that.

If you love something, you don't treat the things you love by just hoarding them into some disgusting mass pile, regardless of whether they are stuffed animals, figurines, or dresses. That's poor care.

Personally, humanizing toys is not something I consider cringe. I think cringe would be accusing anyone that doesn't have your "no fun allowed" mindset is into a fetish.

>>10367481
oh that explains it, fuck off you freak.

>>10367481
Exactly this.

Maybe it's just because I grew up in an Asian household but treating objects with respect and care (especially books) was taught to be an important value. The best looking rooms in these threads always display their hobby beautifully and with care, not carelessly thrown in.

>>10367559
we're talking about storing things, not displaying them.

>>10367561
If you follow the thread, this person >>10366010 >>10365787 is openly displaying them. Not storing them.

>>10367564
not everyone is talking about that though, i was quoted despite saying NUMEROUS TIMES i am storing them in bins and rotating them out. also mom-chan needs to leave her cringy babyspeak at the door if she doesn't want to get labeled a weirdo.

>>10367572
ok?? but i'm not one of the people who quoted you, im talking about the other anon we're all calling a hoarder. and i'm also not defending her babyspeak so.... did you have a point or did you just wanna get that off your chest

>>10367575
NTA but calm down. The convo has been hard to follow because so many people are ignoring others and lumping them in with hoarder-chan.

>>10367577
it's really not that complicated. hoarder chan is kind of the center of attention in here.

>>10367579
Complicated no, but if everyone is acting like all the posters are hoarder-chan it's annoying.

>>10367572
You literally have a HOARD of stuffed animals that you call your "friends" and rotate then out so they "all get attention"
In the ugliest fucking room imaginable.
You have no room to call anyone cringe when that's your fucking life.

>also call stuffed animal "stuffies" because that's just how everyone in my area referrs to them in the south
>don't own a single one myself

Are southerners age players by default?

>>10367614
I grew up in the deep south and never heard of them referred to as that... so no.

>>10366010
I did not mean to cause alarm guys. I just called them friends because its shorter than stuffed animals. I can call em whatever you want.
I like the stuffed animals displayed. I didnt particularly want any posters or anything, so stuffed animals it was.
I have a room upstairs Im still working on. It has an ugly tile that I will patch over. Im thinking earthy tones. Maybe a olive green.

>>10367616
Where in? I have a friend from another southern state who says it too. Same with saying "put it up" instead of "put it away" its certainly the normal in my neck of the woods.

>>10363554
>>10363554
Does it have to be girly? All the girly places I know of are way too small. I just have a plain white large one from Ikea. Could always have one custom made if you have the budget

>>10367594
who? just this person? stop sperging out when no one is talking to you >>10367001

>>10367618
you obviously don't like them enough to display them properly. instead, a bunch of them are being crushed under other stuffed animals and aren't even visible. seems more like you just have a hoarding problem

does anyone here has any experience with actual vintage furniture? what cons will I face? also any tips on incorporating vintage pieces into modren interior so it doesn't look tacky.

>>10367669
I mean, that was the ideal, but it is looking like I will have to just get a table. Maybe I can find a nice girly table.
So far I am looking at getting that wood table top from Ikea and trying to find cute legs for it. I want it to be at least 29 inches deep minimum as I have a small TV as one of the monitors and need space to write/ for the keyboard.

If anyone has suggestions for cute office storage that is not in a desk I would appreciate that as I am probably getting a table now.

>>10367782
Have you considered a secretary? I think most of them look gorgeous and you'd definitely have some extra storage depending on the type.

>>10367785
Oh that is a great idea! I didn't even think of that.

>romapri furniture
Late but can you or any anons give a review on their stuff? I remember in an older room thread someone mentioned owning stuff from them but it wasn't great quality and the shelves got stuck frequently. I'm still obsessed anyway and would like to know before I dump serious money in the future.

>>10368143
I'm the romapri anon, and it's mostly aesthetics rather than substance. Everything is particle board as well. I have the Noble series stuff. Tables and curios are nice, but I am not a huge fan of the TV stand or chest of drawers. I have a 4 drawer chest and I had to swap out the slides because they are plain wood and they don't allow for full extension of drawers without tipping. The kotatsu I have is a bit better quality, heftier (though still particle board) with a nice finish. I got some of the plastic clothng chests and they are fine but a bit light. I also have that floor chair that is shaped like a bow and I love that. You can adjust it and the cover comes off for cleaning. There honestly aren't a lot of options for that kind of look though, especially at that price so if you're committed, just go for it. I've had my stuff for 6 or 7 years now and it has held up. The table doesn't stain either which is really good!

requesting mori or at least more natural rooms, I have a lot of natural/bamboo shit and my place needs a makeover but I'd like to keep as much as possible

>>10367785
>>10367787
I had never heard those called secretary desks despite having had one in my room for nearly my entire childhood, so this exchange confused the FUCK out of me lmao

>>10368301
dressing up chabby chic/natural wood elements with colored or knit fabrics and lots of plants gives a really mori vibe for me. depending on your existing furniture, distressing it or covering it with fabric could help you pull the look you're going for without having to replace it. are you more into light or dark mori?

>>10368308
holy shit *SHABBY chic, sorry I'm so tired. antique furniture can also be really cheap depending on where you live and can help you with getting the texture/layered elements you might be going for. places marketing their stuff as ~boho~ or whatever like Urban Outfitters might have some stuff you'd like. a tapestry or wallhanging can change up the look of your walls and make a space more cozy without having to paint.

>>10368308
>>10368315
good ideas! I already have a few plants and fabric should be really easy to do, I could maybe use some hoarded up crochet thread that way lol, post some light mori when you can! I think maybe some kind of wallpaper could help too? currently the walls are just different shades of cream with whatever's hung up, and there aren't really any restrictions to what I can do thankfully.

>>10364752
The girl in the drawing looks like venus

>>10365302
THIS IS MY SHITTTTTT

I would love to make my house more Lolita, I love all the sweet and classic styles you guys are posting... But just thinking about cleaning and some of the stuff looking like trash (those instagram accounts that have a billion stickers on the walls, for example) just makes me dizzy and uncomfortable af... Also cleaning gets a lot more time-consuming...

tldr: have you stumbled with any minimalistic options for lolita inspired rooms?

>>10368322
patterned wallpaper or painted/faux finished walls could definitely help give more depth and intent to your space. what to do with them will depend a lot on how busy the rest of the space is and how much light you have imo.

i hate these things on their own, but layered over other things they could look really nice

>>10367384
Someone in the last thread suggested boxes for hats/bonnets/crowns, maybe you can line them up like stores do with baseball caps and then store them in a box?

>>10367440
Wardrobe with a glass door or a mannequin that you rotate the dresses on, that way you won't get them as sun damaged

>>10368342
it doesn't need to be as busy and OOT as a lot of the example posts you see, it's more about figuring out what overall color scheme you like and building up the details from there.

not a great overall look imo, but a good example of slipcovers being used to alter existing furniture and fit a theme

How do you commit to a single aesthetic? I really love these mori-esue rooms but I love blues and purples too much for it to look good and now my room looks boring

How do you display anime figures and posters less.. tackily? Like making it part of the room and not just something thrown in separately, if that makes sense

>>10368356
you could blend jewel tones into the mori style, especially if you use ivory (or even dark natural wood) as a base instead of white. think of what elements you like- textures and styles can be palette swapped. maybe look at dark mori for inspiration?

>>10368359
In my opinion posters are always tacky unless they are framed. I'm okay with anime figures as long they're cute, and the colors kinda match... Sadly all my Evangelion stuff is not very kawaii desu.

Space everything out, get some spotlights/rope lights for the figures, frames for the posters, try to make it look like a gallery

maybe don't post low quality dumps next time.

>>10368598
i didn't post the dump, i just genuinely want to see some better ones. no need to suddenly be a cunt

>>10368598
what the fuck are you even talking about anon

>>10368602
they think i'm sarcastically saying "WHY DONT YOU POST THEN" as if I'm the one who posted the dump. they're just a cynical cunt

>>10368604
maybe if every other anon didn't sarcastically do that, then i wouldn't think that.

>>10368356
Maybe get some fake flowers in those colors and incorporate them together with some other decor?

>>10368607
maybe next time you can try owning them by posting better pics instead of uselessly getting triggered

>>10368632
>triggered
the only one who seems triggered here is you bb.

>>10368642
no need to get triggered again over a good suggestion. posting pics would solve the situation and prove your point. it's what i do

>>10368650
>>10368632
>>10368604
>>10368601
It's extremely obvious from your posts that you did mean it in a sarcastic way. Post or shut the fuck up.

>>10368677
Literally didn't. I also found the plastic cups and cheap plastic racks in that dump to be tacky and ugly.

Stay defensive about everything, though, I'm sure it's good for your mental health.

>>10368038
I use something similar to pic related for storing all my makeup and brushes, mine is white with a pink tail, pink ribbons and embroidery though. I don't own an awful lot of makeup, so I can still find what I need pretty easily (even before decluttering). I store skincare stuff in one of those pouches that AP releases from time to time and anything that's too big for that goes into my vanity drawer.

>>10368681
They maybe post in a way that doesn't make you sound like an angry autist?

>>10368695
>i'd love to see better ones if you have some examples to share
kek yeah this sounds real angry, i'm literally shaking

>>10368698
Have you never been on this board before? Your wording is basically a copypasta.

there's an obvious difference in wording between their sentence and the copypasta. see >>10368604

>what is the word basically?

>>10368749
let me repeat for you:
>obvious

>>10368771
are you dense, there is no copypasta, i said basically because every image dump thread always has someone complain and some snarky dumbass who'd "love to see what you post". that's the snarky part.

it's terminal

>>10368796
Kek.

ew. pasted on lace is just tacky

I'm the anon who posted the mori/makeup/and general storage stuff up above. I didn't expect this level of salt, I just won't post anymore. yikes

>>10369099
Get better taste.

>>10369001
no shit deco is tacky.

>>10369101
pasted on lace has never looked good. lace looks good sewed on fabric, not obviously glued onto hard surfaces. it's prime etsy-kei

>>10369111
again, it's shitty deco it is supposed to be tacky. i personally love gluing lace and rhinestones on everything. it's classic 2009 decor.

>>10369120
this looks more like a bad attempt at shabby chic by a scrapbooking boomer.

Unsurprisingly, googling "Cynthialoowho" and "lindy's stamp gang" shows us that shabby chic is exactly what this lady is going for

>>10369100
Says the person who hasn't contributed anything to the thread or posted their own superior tastes. Not surprised

I am thinking of setting up my desk area and aiming for mori / story book vibes. I know that the monitors and keyboard will have to distract from that to an extent, but any suggestions?

I plan on mounting the monitors and hiding the cords to the best of my ability.

I mostly just plan on having a large wooden desk but I am at a loss of how else to sell that look with computers around.

>>10370303
Decorative contact paper on the electronics, keyboard overlay cover. Or cover with a frame or mirror made to conceal mounted monitors.

>>10370308
That is a cool idea. I wonder how much something like that would cost.

>>10370332
Cheaper than you'd think. There are frame risers for this purpose, pic related. Or you can maybe add enough hinges on the wall. Searching "hide thermosat" will give you some ideas, just keep in mind the larger scale

>>10370342
Hinge idea

>>10369001

NAYRT but I will post this just for you

>>10369099
Keep posting, cgl is just bipolar. One second they whine about shit not being tacky or alternative enough and the next they whine about shit being too normie

>>10370442
Yup. Plus remember that there are people who appreciate it, me being one of them.

>>10370442
i have a theory that might account for this strange disparity in opinion- this is just a possibility, but it might be that there are more than just the two of us here. have more pink.

I have this old magazine from 2010 filled with Japanese room decor. No scanner though. If anyone would be down I can pull that out or at least give y'all a title

>>10370342
>>10370343
This is great. Thank you, anon.

What do you guys think of putting frames around the screens like they were pictures?

>>10370441

I went to the website out of curiosity and wow what a vibe

>>10370442

I used to do art in high school and have some large (2ft by 3ft ish) portfolios that have kind of just been leaning against the wall and was wondering if anyone had any storage ideas?

>>10370763

>>10371049
Actually I forgot I had a closet
Never mind

is this the place to ask for anime or manga inspired rooms? I live in a dorm but really want to up the weeby japanese student bedroom aesthetic for autistic internal larping, if anyone has any manga caps or something it'd be greatly appreciated

I really want to organise my accessories but for now they live in a drawer. It's messy looking and I've recently bought a bunch of headwear. Does anyone have any good examples? I tried googling it but keep getting tacky kids stuff instead.

>that feel I can't have my fantasy of having a minimalist goth bedroom because my mum uses my bedroom as a third wardrobe.

I can't wait to move out.

Decorating a room is harder than I thought because I apparently suck at looking for stuff online. Any reccomendations for a gothic bed cover/overlay? Everything I've seen so far has been either too nu-goth and edgelord-y or too normie. I just want my vampire den to be complete. Even search terms I could use would be helpful.

>>10371265
i've had good luck on aliexpress if you want me to share some.

>>10371265
Just get something in black or deep red silk, probably with a lace trim, don’t look for “goth” specifically if you really do want a vampire den. simple silky bedsheets really aren’t that hard to find

>>10371283
Thanks for recommendations
>>10371270
If you could it would be great!

>>10371130
@xhiupao on insta has a pastel weeb room

>>10365299
this would give me such a headache

>>10366470
yeah, how insecure would you really have to be as a man to have an issue with sleeping in a cute room --and also having a cute girlfriend/wife to boot?

>>10371418
i don't think it's always that. my bf had actual interest and input on making our house nice and just doesn't have a turbokawaii aesthetic- he picked nearly all the tile and cabinetry we have. our bedroom has elements of both of our styles while my office is den of pink.

>>10367168
>this extreme amount looks like you weren't loved as a kid and only had stuffed animals for friends
tfw this is too accurate and you need to leave the internet for the day

>>10367387
nayrt but they said they weren't collectors but that they can't bear to part with their childhood toys. You sound triggered. No1curr about stuffie collectors just don't have them looking like a hoard ffs

>>10368359
One thing I did is found a plain pine CD case holder shelf thingy (with three little cabinet holes), turned it on its side, painted it pink with chalk paint, waxed it, and put it on a wall-mounted shelf. Then covered it in my nendoroids and shit.

>>10371241
Look at Tyler/Scarfing Scarves YouTube channel, she keeps her lolita stuff in drawers but its neatly organized

>>10367168
>>10367559

He's pretty good with the UFO catcher games and likes to display his trophies, is all. His gf doesn't seem to mind.

>>10371749
>>10371438
is calling them "stuffies" an ageplayer thing or just a new thing in general? i don't remember anyone saying that word when i was a child in the 90s.

>>10371754
Its both an ageplayer AND regional thing.
I moved to the south and was suprised to hear adults (the pastor's wife for example) refer to stuffed animals as stuffies. Sometimes I catch myself saying things like that myself without even remembering ageplayers use it.

>>10371754
i always called them stuffies and i'm positive i picked the term up from my grandparents who grew up in georgia. ageplayers just pick up and corrupt anything cute they can find, like how they swarm around nonsexual nostalgia posts or sanrio blogs on platforms like tumblr/ig and leave disgusting comments on them.

>>10371754
It's a southern thing.

>>10371790
nayrt I mean, I think it depends on where in the south you are? I'm from texas and I've only ever heard adults refer to them as "stuffed animals" or "dolls" if they're human-ish. I didn't even know about "stuffies" or even "plushies" until I started using the internet.

>>10371790
I'm from Louisiana and only heard them referred to as stuffed animals.

>>10371731
Does anyone know the search term for shallow drawers like this?
To make it an effective use of space I need them too be thin like this, but I tend to find ones that are two rows of shallow drawers then normal ones.

>>10371056
lmao the only reasonable response, thanks anon

>>10370766
based dubs, I'd kick him out If we weren't under lockdown

>>10371056
lmao the only reasonable response, thanks anon

>>10371831
>>10371835
honestly the southern states have some pretty different dialects despite all being considered "southern". they're identified as a group because their states wanted slaves, not because they all spoke the same.

>>10371835
Yeah, MD here and it's either Stuff animals or plushies

>>10364754
If they'd switch a couple drawers around, the mismatched stickers would follow a pattern and look better...

>>10368355
This is a great idea, i might look into slip covers for my computer chair and sewing room chair!

I was hoping for an alternative desu. The drawer I had them in was too small so that's why they looked messy to me. Not a fan of her channel but I'll check it out.

>>10375252
I used a triple frame from ikea and glued ribbons on the back, it's where I put my hair clips, brooches and enamel pins! The frame itself is cute too, I'd take a picture if it didn't out me.

>>10372632
Make your man take that stink with a straight face, test his strength before breeding

>>10375259
This is frustrating, I had plans to go out and look for an antique desk but I had to buy a way more expensive new one because I needed it for working from home.
It is not the worst part of this pandemic, but it sure it annoying.
It was my own fault for putting it off until February.

>>10375259
Same. My apartment is small so I'm trying to rework on how to make the furniture I already have prettier, but vanities are perfect for the lolita aesthetic.

>>10375278
I moved but then I realized that decoration a new furniture is pretty expensive. Hope that I can paint my stuff pink and make a couple diys so it doesn't look as bland.

>>10375399

This sounds really cute and useful!

>>10363327
My husband has supported me throughout our 11 year relationship. I'm pretty sure a man secure in his masculinity could not possibly care less about how his wife decorates the home too. I can understand if it's too cluttered but usually guys don't care.

I know a lot of girls have posted vanity's and usually they're victorian or baroque themed. I recently was checking vintage furniture themes and I'm surprised nobody seems to post art deco themed as they seem quite extravagant and beautiful if you have the space for them.

>>10375621
Honestly I dislike the design of art deco furniture. They remind of me of the older, more destroyed furniture in my grandmas house. I don't think they match my aesthetic either (sweet) but I think they suit classic and gothic.

>>10375642
Yeah I have seen a lot of damaged art deco furniture out there especially the mirrors unfortunately. It's also easier to find newer furniture modeled after the Victorian themes. Just thought to recommend for the classical girls out there if you can find one in good shape it's a work of art.

I got some of my furniture from the kid's section at Value City Furniture.
Console table house my tv and junk and it's the two drawer Brimnes from Ikea.
tfw single and only need a twin size bed...one of those white metal swirly frame ones from a garage sale.
Shabby Chic is a brand available at Target and they have super cute bedding.
Target also has really cute decor stuff. Ex. the bunny with fake plant, because my green thumb is broken and it's too cold in my house for most plants. It's sold out now I think and I got it on sale at my store.

>>10375814
Omg this is gorgeous! I wish I could find stuff like this in my country. So elegant.

>>10375607
while im sure theres plenty of dudes that object because they "secure in their masculinity" theres also some I think that object because they themselves have some idea on how theyd like to decorate, and what they think looks good. I know lots of men that have aesthetic opinions, and know how theyd like where they live to look.

>>10367618
this isn't display anon, this is rent-a-shed level storage. You can't even see the ones crushed down the bottom or at the back. Your "display" looks like shit and doesn't display much at all, defeating the purpose of displaying them.

You obviously don't won't to address the problem though, so I guess keep buying more nets until you have no room left and continue living in that hideous mess telling yourself it's because you love them all, and not because it's fulfilling some unaddressed need.

>>10375621

I actually had one growing up. It belonged to my great great grandmother. It's in very good shape too. It stayed with my grandpa (it was his grandmother's) when I moved out, although I'll be the one to inherit it. I miss it. It was very spacious- my current one is pretty but the mirror's much narrower and there's less vanitytop space.

>>10375814
That is cute!

I would warn that the Shabby Chic bedding does not last too long. I had a comforter and it got real sad, real fast. I might have washed it too often.

>>10378007
I love this so much nghhh
