Is it okay to self-post looking for advice? My room is ugly as all get out.

>>7266463
Sure it is! Go right ahead.

Alright...here it is. Ignore the random rug in the doorway. Somehow I managed to not notice that it was there until after I had taken the pictures, and Im too lazy to retake. How do I make this cute?

>>7266807
The first step I'd say would be to organize your stuff, particularly any clutter and your figures.

>>7266807

As >>7266850 said, organize your figures (I am very jealous especially of the Sailor Moon figure! ;_;), maybe get a shelf so you can hang them on the wall. Organized + makes a great decoration.

Hang up more pictues / posters or maybe even dresses on the wall. Match them to a theme /aesthetic (the pirate flag does not realy match your other picture).

Get cute curtains.

Get more colour in your room (decoration, flowers, pictures, whatever), the wall and the floor look so plain, especially since they are so similar in colour.

/r/ing Mori rooms

I need some inspiration for my room (which has halted in the middle of cleaning)

>>7266929

I thrive on bright sunlight and plants. I love this room.

>>7266934
i love the room too, my room is basically the opposite of that, unfortunately

>>7266929
Not really a room, but it's very mori: www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/nick-olson-lilah-horwitz-glass-cabin

lookin for advice on making my room more kawaii (especially rilakkuma shit i could get OTHER than the actual plushies). also looking for good stores to buy rilakkuma plushies for cheap (idgaf if theyre fake)

>>7266948
thats beautiful, though i'd be really paranoid with all those windows, during the night.

>>7266953
get rid of or reupholster the couch
get some cute prints for your walls in some cute frames
organize clutter
Also, taobao is good for cheap rilakkuma

>>7266953
aliexpress you'll find a lot of rilakkuma stuff there

also a suggestion : get some shit away from your floor. You seem to have everything piled low to the ground. Put the laundry baskets away, hang your clothes, get the plushies off the couch, move that photo off of the blinds (why is that even there?) and move that giant poster away from your TV. It's right next to an already black item which makes the room look clunky and weird.


Invest in some shelving. You can put your plushies and various things on shelves. If you want to display some of your cuter clothes, see if you can find a discount dress form somewhere, and buy some slipcovers for your couch. It's REALLY outdated and makes the room look old.

>>7266807

Is your guitar a Yamaha FG series, by any chance?

>>7267106
that site is expensive as fuck anon

>>7267186
What site is it from?

searching aki home, they do have some nice duvet covers for not badly priced. This one's $15, though you have to get it from their stores and can't get it online yet. I know they opened a location in Tustin and Fullerton.

Any photos of classic lolita inspired rooms?

I've recently considered moving into the upstairs part of my house, or at least making a rec room/display room for my various collections and sewing stuff. It consists of a loft with a sunbed, table, dresser, queen bed and recliner (pictured) and an attic (you can see the door in the pic, it's full of shit). As you can see the place is a complete wreck, and this space isn't used for much other than storage, but I want to actually do something with it. My questions are, how should I decorate? I like a lot of the furniture but I want to turn the place into something eye-popping and not a granny-attic (once I move the shit out of here, of course). Do any of you live in a room where the bathroom is downstairs, and do you think living here full-time would be a bad idea due to that inconvenience? Do you have knicknacks and things that you adore, but simply make your room look cluttered/look out of place? How can I incorporate a nice color theme that will not clash with the woodwork? Sorry if this is a hefty load of questions!

>>7267373
You're a really lucky person to just have all of that space.
I think having a bathroom on another floor is common in every country, so unless you have insanely bad knees or bladder I can't see it being a problem.

I can imagine something very fairytale/mori inspired with all of that wood furniture, with roses wrapped around everything.

>>7267373

this right here is perfect for mori style.

>>7267373
Good God anon. other than the lack of wall space, and the mess, I'm entirely jealous of your room layout/lots of medium colored wood stuff.
Damn!

>>7267373
oh my those walls and floors are gorgeous.

I would clean up and go with something more simple. white is going to look the best with that type of wood. You could go really nature inspired and bring in lots of real (or fake) flowers, glass vases, maybe some other natural greenery.

I don't know if adding a whole lot of color would go very well with how much wood you have going on, but you can have a really nice refreshing place if you stick with a natural and bright color pallet

>>7267373
Holy shit, you have such a great space to work with anon! I love how the wood matches the windows too! I personally wouldn't mind having a bathroom downstairs, especially with that adorable vanity to keep all of my makeup and accessories on. That area under the skylight would be perfect for sewing, and you have some extra space to keep fabrics and everything organized. As for a color theme, it kind of depends on your personality. I think the room would be adorable decorated in pastels, but a dark velvety blue would also be really pretty. I like my stuff to look somewhat... retro though (the wood paneling helps with that aspect).

Good luck to you anon! Hope you post some progress pics!

>>7267404

Thank you all! I think I'm going to venture more into mori ideas, but perhaps incorporate some light pinks as well? Perhaps pinks and greens and browns...
There's also a small beige rockinghorse in there that I have no idea what to do with yet I have no will to get rid of it. Hmm.
Either way, thanks again for the advice, it means so much!

Guys, I just want to say that I just built a kotatsu from an ikea coffee table! Someone posted about it in the past here and it got incepted into my mind...

Cost: $74 (heater w/shipping) + $30 (table) + $3 (washers and L brackets) = $107

>>7266953
get some moe animu posters up on the walls or even get some cute wall decals.
Fix the couch, get some pink/lacey curtains, shelves to work on the vertical space, and a huge cute floral rug in the center to give your floor some pop.
White/pink christmas lights add a softness to your room especially since you'll need it with the Rilakkuma stuff.
Try to go for a mori girl vibe if you're going to keep the brown desk & shelving.

Desk suggestions? also bookshelf suggestions?

>>7267373
I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions, but I just wanted to tell you that the walls, flooring, and detailing on that upstairs room look gorgeous beneath all the shit in there.

Grumpy at all of you for making me go to our H&M only to discover that we don't have room stuff there. Ugh.

That said. I've been pondering a wardrobe like this one specifically for Lolita things. Right now I have them on one of those portable rack deals, which is handy, but not exactly pretty. Do you guys have one like this/similar? Is it nice, a nuisance?

>>7267474
Oh my god, I'm having sudden, involuntary flashbacks to Fruits Basket and my weaboo phase when I wanted nothing more than a Kyo of my own and a kotatsu to fall asleep next to him under.

Sorry my pictures are pretty bad. But I think this is the first time I'm comfortable enough to post our place, even though it still needs work. Right now we're in a studio place, downgraded from a one bedroom. There's still some mess(like the pile of stuff on the kitchen counter, the pile of empty containers by the door, the pink bag of a current cosplay project, and the two baskets of stuff on the couch)

Otherwise I'm in the process of condensing down more stuff. The place is actually pretty clean, the problem is we have a lot of stuff, so it looks messy just because of everything. I used to have way more stuff. I've shared the stories of me growing up in a hoarders house and being a hoarder like my family. This is the state of me pretty much fighting my habits. I've got totes of stuff to be sold and sent to goodwill, and bags full of fabric and a basket of sewing supplies I'm taking to a friends new years even for the group to pick through.

The place is comfortable and pretty clean, even if it doesn't look it because of just how crowded the space is, but I'm not completely happy with it right now. Hopefully in one of the next room threads, I can post the "final" room.

I can't figure out a way to rearrange my room for more space. Help?

>>7267891

loft the bed? Also does it need to be a double?

>>7267474

yeah I think that may have been me who was talking about it.

Did you get your heater from Amazon? Cause that's where I was getting mine.

>>7267891
What do you use the table at the end of the bed for? You could put the items on top of the dresser, possibly, and get rid of it, or you could put it at the space between the closet and door. The bed being a single, if that's possible, would also free up a good amount of space.

>>7267904
I got it from Rakuten but the one on EBay is about the same price, just a few dollars more. I regret not making the legs shorter since I'm not tall so I'll attempt unscrewing the legs and taking it to Home Depot today to saw them off.

:) I like mine a lot these days. I really need a carpet, a few more pillows, and frames for the walls though.

Anyone know where I can get a mint green/ivory/lavender/combination of these colors carpet for a reasonable price? Or should I get a solid black rug?

>>7268725
I absolutely love the trunk under your hanging clothes. Your room looks so cozy!

>>7268725
I'd go for a rug in colors you like

Carpet is one big hassle

>>7268853
Agreeing with this. Just get an area rug in whatever of the colors you like/can find. Full carpet is such a pain, and an area rug will be easier to clean if you spill something on it.

>>7267690
I had something similar in my last place, the only problem was that it didn't fit everything as it was supposed to be for all my clothes needing hanging. Other than that it was fine.

>>7268725
I second a rug, unless you want to find carpet remnants on ebay/from a local store -bear in mind you'll either have to edge it so it's like a rug, or tack it down somehow. If you don't, you usually get a bit of fuzz from the edges and they curl up

>>7268725
The window-facing side of your dresses might fade in color if you're in a sunny area.

This is on sale at Target. I almost got it, but I decided on another storage option instead. I'm actually getting to the point of more storage space than things.

One review has a really cute idea of putting cute scrap booking paper on the back wall side before assembling so you have a cute pattern in the five boxes. The storage cubes that go in look easy enough to make if you want to try your own fabric.

http://www.target.com/p/circo-9-cube-organizer-fun-pink/-/A-12193101#

Don't have many pics of it clean, but here's under my bed when it is.

>>7269675
jesus christ it's like walking into babies r us

>>7269626
That's actually a pretty good idea and would be a neat way to coordinate a paper to go with it. It's a little like what I did on my sewing desk shelves. I took the shelves out, glued some wrapping paper on the back, then put the shelves back in. I'm thinking of redoing it though since I didn't glue it down right the first time and there's obvious bubbles in the paper. You can see it in the picture. It was a floral print wrapping paper I picked up from Daiso Japan. I'm probably going to stop by their again and pick up some new paper to redo it.

>>7269675
That ain't cute, anon

>>7269686
>>7269705
how to fix ;__;

>>7269709
It's mostly the stuffed animals. It makes it look like it's a 5 year old's space.

>>7267474
I want to build my own kotatsu so bad

>>7268741
Thank you so much!!!

>>7268853
Will do. I looked into carpet and it is hella expensive. Also a waste of the wood, on second thought I really like the floor color against all of the white. Thanks!

>>7268863
>>7268868
:D I'm on ebay now looking for area rugs, there are some inexpensive options surprisingly. Thank you.

>>7269584
Oh my god thankfully it's facing North, but a blind and drapes going up this weekend. I just put them there a week or so ago and didn't even think of that, THANK YOU

>>7269763
Yeah, sitting anything in sunlight over time will eventually fade it out. I've got fabric and a shirt that got partially faded in sections that were exposed to direct sunlight over time. I'm thinking of getting a set of these for our kitchen since our walls are beige/tan, and the ceiling and bottom wall accents are brown.

>>7269675
This just reminds me of the 90s... I dont know why but the colours and the flower pillows. You should get some inflatable furniture. Seriously.

>>7269772
I just covered the windows with towels, lmao. Those are cute!

>>7269849
They are. They're $9 a piece. So I'd be paying $18 for a set to cover our windows.
http://aki-home.com/window-coverings?product_id=143

They've got some that are only $5 a piece too for smaller windows.

>>7269709
All those stuffed animals have got to go. If they have sentimental value, at least get them out of sight in a trunk or closet somewhere. There is a quality about those plushies that is very juvenile.
Ditch the flower pillows.

Have you considered a desk + comfy desk chair?
If you don't want that, rearrange the furniture you do have there.

Aside from the stuffed toys, I think the space looks extra kiddy because (in the photo at least) it looks cramped. Might just be an illusion, but eh.

>>7269866
Adding onto this anon's suggestion. Try only keeping one or two out, and tuck the others away into a trunk/storage. For example, I collect Monster High dolls, but I keep most of mine store away in totes. I keep my favorites out on display.

It's kind of like displaying action figures/transformers. Generally the nicer looking displays are the ones that are more evenly spaced out. More often people will cram as many figures as possible onto a shelf and it turns into a giant clusterfuck. Compare the top shelf on the left picture with the one on the right, and you can get what I mean.

>>7269626
There's similar ones at Big W. I'm not sure about measurements and all that, but I believe the Target box sizes are similar to those of Ikea's Expedit range? So they're all pretty interchangeable with accessories between the brands I hope.

>>7267358
Seconding this. I'm moving into a new house soon and will be getting completely new furniture/decorations.
Going to make it the elegant room of my dreams!

i'm still not happy with my room, but i'm hopefully purchasing some pink/white furniture to get rid of the wood ones in the new year

>>7270928

If it's just a color thing and not a style issue you could repaint your current furniture more inexpensively thsn you could buy a new roomful.

>>7265614

/g/ here,

Do none of you lolitas have a computer in your room? Or are you all on your beds using laptops?

>>7271066

I use my laptop in the living room. I actually have a separate room for my lolita too cause I just moved in to a place with an extra room and it seemed practical to have a seperate bedroom because my bed is so big and the rooms are so tiny in my apartment.

>>7271066
I keep my computer in my living room of my apartment. Having the computer out there instead of in my room is one of the main things that makes me get out of bed in the morning.

>>7271066
No, I'm sitting at my cute kotatsu on my laptop.

>>7270873
I'm moving house soon too, first one on my own. I've been hoarding furniture since I was 16 or so, and I'm excited. I still have to paint them all white, though.

Anons, what do you think about colored furniture? I'll be damned if I can find it, but I know there were a few cute Fairy-Kei/Lolita rooms where the furniture was painted bright, fun colors, but.

White seems more practical? Pic unrelated, but bunny-kiss.

>>7271066
I have a computer/painting/crafting room. In my bedroom I have a TV i play wii on and a table I can move my laptop too, but generally I just like to keep the cute stuff in the cute area and the ugly cable messy stuff in another area.

/r/ing some pink desktop computer monitors or TVs that can be used as computer monitors.
I found one that's the perfect shade of pink and is also Hello Kitty (pic related), but I can't seem to find the source anywhere.
I'm trying to assemble my own computer, and I've found the perfect tower, keyboard, and mouse, but finding a nice pink monitor to go with it all is really proving to be a pain. So any help is really appreciated. :(

>>7271434
not an answer, but what tower/keyboard are you planning on buying, anon?
i built my rig before going to college (so 3ish years ago), but made no effort to make it kawaii so much as to make it not look tacky as hell.
are there cute towers out there? all i can think of ever seeing is my childhood barbie computer.

>>7271350
I think colored furniture can be fun (I know I've seen some beautiful rooms using blue or green furniture), but white is easier to coordinate with. I don't think it's necessarily more practical.

>>7271350
White isn't necessarily practical but it matches more, and crosses over between styles more than bright colours

>>7271448
I'm actually just going with a standard black Alienware X51. My computer desk has a drawer to hide your tower, so I'll just stash it away in there.
I found a cute wireless Hello Kitty keyboard/mouse combo (pic) on Aliexpress, that way I won't have to deal with messy cords getting tangled up against the wall.

>>7271508
Anon, please don't buy an alienware pc.
You can buy a much better pc for gaming, graphic designing, or whatever, for much less, from any major brand. Or step it up and build your own pc for like 1/3 the price, which is what I did. It's really not that difficult, and there are tons of resources to help you.
hell, even /g/ is actually helpful, although they'll shit talk you first.
also, if you're going to spend that sort of money, you could find a cute (or at least less flashy/tacky) chassis to house your goods.

sage for not really cgl related

>>7271066
>I'm on my bed using a laptop as I type this

N-not all of us can be cool like /g/!

>>7271533
Ah, really? I only recently thought about getting an Alienware because a friend of mine really liked theirs.
I've thought about building my own too, but I'm really afraid of messing it up. Could you recommend some good resources for a tech-noob like me?
Sage as well for no contribution.

>>7271350
I waited a bunch of furniture white with pink accents, and then my standing mirror all pink. I was going to do blue, mint, and lavender, but I already had the pink paint and I used very little.

>>7271708
Seconding not getting alienware. Don't. I was a noob like you and was really really scared of building my own pc, but it's so easy. There are many tutorials around to help you along, and many tech forums can give you recommendations on what to buy. Your wallet will thank you and you'll feel proud of yourself in the end.

>>7271066

Haha my friend's brother just bought her a really nice PC keyboard and mouse set. Only that my friend's favorite gaming place is her bed. So she'll have no use for it.

I'll get a nice PC once I graduate, but for now, laptop all the way. I have no room for a PC and I'm moving countries back which will make it even more of an encumbrance.

>>7271066
Laptop on bed, I'd much rather use my desk for my sewing machines

>>7271978
Jsyk, PC =/= exclusively desktop. Laptops, tablets, handheld computers are all also considered personal computers.

Sage because unrelated. You just ground my gears.

>>7269675
Hey I have the same laptop, Dell XPS 15. My screen's dead now though. That thing gets hot as fuck.

>>7270928

>>7271051
^this
It's super easy repainting things. I thrift shelves and stuff for cheap, then paint them up and it's special too because you made it!

Pic totally related. I bought the shelf for 4 bucks and the flowers were 1$.

>>7272106

Whoops dropped pic.

I might as well ask for help. Since it's a new year I wanted to make my room more kawaii~. Tips please?

>>7272227
I'd add more baby pink in there. Get some pink fabric to cover your desk and bedside table, maybe even some mlp fabric to cover the headboard and new pillowcases. The yellow is hella bright but I think it works well with pink

>>7272242
I agree with covering the headboard

>>7272227
Have the same wallscroll anon, but holy shit do you wipe your TV with grease? Use a microfiber on that shit and wipe in ONE direction while cleaning. That looks AWFUL.

Also, the wall color is the color of something you'd see on a hot dog. Why don't you dress it up with some whites and pinks.

>>7272248
>>7272242
I can't really cover up the headboard because my mother made it for me and I would feel bad ;_;

>>7272256
Lmao I know it looks really bad but I never watch anything off it anyway, but thanks for the tip, I was going to ask how to properly clean TV screens but I forgot.

And I know the walls look kinda bright, I like the color yellow I guess.

>>7271508
Anon, I love my x51. You're fine buying it. There's a lot of hate for Alienware because "WAHWAH WAH DELL BOUGHT THEM EVEN THOUGH I PROBABLY OWN A DELL TOO"

You'll be happy with it AND you can add on to it yourself. Building one would cost you the same or more especially if you derped out like a moron and loaded it up with dual graphics cards or some shit.

I'm moving into a new apartment in the next year so I've been looking through Ikea stuff and I found a few pretty bed linens/duvets that could be cute.

Anyone know where I could find more ornate bedframes?

>>7272258
Are you this same person? Being annoying everywhere

>>7271708
Thirding not getting an alienware... I bought one for my high school graduation two years ago and I've had a ton of problems with it.

>>7272265
No? I rarely post, this has been the first thread I've posted in in months. saging for off-topic

>>7272258
Could you put some cute pink decorations on it at least, or something like a pink lace doily? That way you wouldn't be covering it per se...even pink trim around the top.

>>7272260
Ornate bedframes are best found online in my opinion, look through ebay and Amazon. Also, if your bed linen is going to cover most of your bed base consider getting something plain and a fancy headboard instead, it'll be cheaper.

>>7272119
And now it's adorable. Good job.

>>7272227
Since you said you can't cover the headboard up completely, I agree with this anon>>7272461 about covering the top with something lacey. You also get a mountain of cute pillows if you're the "mountain of cute pillows on bed" type.

I think all wallart looks best when framed. Look for some large cheap frames at yard sales and in thrift stores (i.e., look for large, ugly framed pictures). The wall scroll doesn't have to be framed since the scroll parts frame it.

That "inspiration board"/"picture board" whatever it is above your desk looks really junky. I'd streamline it if I didn't get rid of it completely.

Slipcover for the desk chair. Coordinate it with new curtains. Both of these should be whatever accent color you think looks cute with the yellow.

I'd paint the bookshelf a lighter color (maybe your coordinating color?)--it seems to suck up all the light in that area.

Also agree with this anon>>7272242 about covering your desk and bedside table with fabric, but I have another suggestion for the desk: cut the fabric to fit the top of the desk and then get some glass cut to put on top of it. Actually, I think wallpaper would work even better. An extra plus of having a glass-topped desk is that you can slide pictures underneath the glass (and so get rid of that terrible picture board hanging above your desk).

Oh, and I really like your Daliesque melting clock--I've seen plenty for sale online, but it's hard to determine quality by internet pictures. How does yours look in real life? Would you recommend it? If so, which company is it made by?

>>7272227
>>7272818
Wallpaper under glass on a desk.

>>7267474
are these even any good for your back???

laptop on le bed

:'(

>>7272820
I need to do this with mine's. My sewing desk is actually a computer desk with part of it that slides out to the right when you want to use it. I store my extra sewing machine in the section meant for the computer tower.

>>7271066
Our computer tower is hooked up to the television. So I'm basically browsing on the equivalent of a 40" monitor. It's kind of nice for when I'm working on art because I have a giant screen to work off of. I have a laptop tucked away that I need to replace the charger and wipe the old files clean.

>>7272939
>I store my extra sewing machine in the section meant for the computer tower.
Brilliant.

>>7273042
I tried to get a picture, but my camera died so I had to use my crappy phone. But the right part of my desk slides into the left(the gap where the white box is sitting in, and then there's the part that pulls out.

>>7272842
I've had a low coffee table in my living room for my whole life, so I'm used to sitting on a rug and my back at against the sofa while watching tv. A lot of random pics of kotatsu have people in gaming chairs?

Also, cut the legs shorter at Home Depot with a handsaw (got employee to do it for me). The cuts weren't even but I adjusted the legs with cardboard cut to size & glued on the legs bottom. Btw the whole build-your-own kotatsu project takes only like an hour or less if you have all the materials.

>>7272842
I don't see why they wouldn't be as long as your posture is ok. Sitting at a regular table is just as bad if you have bad posture

This is my bed area. I need more cute-sy storage for my desk on the other side.

The closet is the worst part, though. I've just been storing lolita accessories in bags.

Help with suggestions for a cheap gothic/elegant sort of lampshade? Pic related is what I'm looking at on amazon, but also would like other input/opinions.

My place: furnished studio, light "wood" furniture, hard wearing brown carpet, cream walls. My vague direction for decorating is black/gothic soft furnishings + textures. I've covered the corkboard with black fabric with a gold print, the desk/table with black, have black curtains and a fuzzy mink blanket on my bed. Planning to get: rug for covering ugly carpet, cushions, fairy lights + floor lamp due to the pathetic single lightbulb in my living room/bedroom, lamp shade.

>>7274322
I like your bed area. In terms of storage solutions, your room looks like it might work with a shabby chic sort of vibe - so, adorable small sets of drawers? They could work both for your desk and in your closet if needed, or you could go with over-door storage in your closet.

>>7274322
Post pics of the problem areas if you want advice.

Can anyone point me in the direction of good display cases for figures? I currently live in a dorm and they take up a good chunk of my desk, so some skinny ones that can fit 1/8 scale figures would be awesome!

>>7275598
Have you looked into shelves/display cabinets designed for crockery? I know someone mentioned teacup shelves, but I think they might be a bit short for your figurines. Some of the display cabinets are quite shallow which could work well for you - just check the height of your figurines against the height of the shelves.

>>7275598

Ikea has some nice ones.
The DETOLF cabinet seems to be a popular one with collectors.

>>7275598
I have the billy bookcase series from ikea. They have adjustable shelving. Two regular bookcases, and a skinny one. They make doors that fit the skinny one. I used to display figures in it, but had to turn it into our pantry when we moved. The glass display cases are fairly popular as starter cases for figure collecting.

>>7275613
>Have you looked into shelves/display cabinets designed for crockery?
Good idea. Do they make these anymore? Internet prices are insane. Are secondhand shops one's best bet for finding one?

>>7275766
Check Craigslist if it's available in your area (or maybe charity shops, but those might be more expensive.)

Usually curio cabinets tend to hang around on the because people don't really use them anymore, so they're easy to barter down. Generally the people selling are adults trying to get rid of their dying or moving elderly parent's things, so taking it off their hands cheap is usually easy. (Then again, don't expect to get a curved glass, hand carved oak cabinet for $20)

>>7275766
Second hand shops, estate/garage sales, and possibly ebay depending on your area. The trouble is that anyone listing them as teacup shelves or specifically crockery shelves probably knows what the going rates are for them and will price accordingly - look for general terms like "shallow shelves" and "display shelves" and be prepared to sort through some crap. Obviously the really nice ones are usually snapped up by antiques dealers and are expensive anyway, but you should be able to find them.

Does anyone have good recs/links for good bedroom paint colors?

>>7276375
That's....quite vague. At least give an idea of what colour you're starting with, what you do/don't like, size of the room, and style you're going for! There is no one set of good bedroom paint colours, it depends on you and the room itself. I like the site apartment therapy which has heaps of inspiration for bedrooms in different colours, plus it lists paint colours. If you aren't quite sure what you want, start there

Anyone has some ideas for cute bathroom decoration? preferably for a small room

>>7276496
How much can you decorate? Can you install new things in the bathroom or are you stuck with the sink/vanity/mirror that's already there? Anyway, like the other question, I refer you to apartment therapy

I saw this while browsing a site and now I'm curious if anybody has odd or interesting furniture pieces in their place?

I love this thread! I'm finally unpacking my extra room this weekend because I got shelves for Christmas and this is very inspiring. I hope to have out all set up and take pictures for suggestions.

Hi seagulls
What can I do about this? I have to move to a dorm in a month, after a year of having my own place and decorating how I pleased, it's going to be... different. I'm not allowed to bring additional furniture unless it's very small (such as tiny fancy stools, etc.)

I was thinking: make a cute lace spread for the top of those tables, floral rug down the middle, line my porcelain dolls across that thing at the top of the picture, and provide my own pretty linen.

I need help ;_;

found this one on fb. pretty cute imo

Anyone know where to get nice looking rugs? I'm looking for pink to match my walls. My parents are turning all our floors into hardwood floors because of the pets, but I seriously can't stand hardwood floors. So I'm looking for a rug that isn't tag and isn't shaggy.

>>7279871
That's actually a great base to work with - you have some space, and what looks like a decent amount of storage. As you've correctly identified, soft furnishings are the way to go when it comes to decorating dorm rooms. Because you can't change most of the room - i.e. wall colour, floor colour, furniture etc., you either have to cover it up or live with it. Some people even tack fabric over their curtains to hide them if they're ugly. If you're into a fairly girly look, you could hang a canopy from the ceiling, or drape fabric on the walls. 3M command hooks/sticky bits are your best friend for this as if you follow the instructions they do actually come off cleanly - blu-tack etc. tends to leave marks or not hold things ups. The other thing in dorm rooms is lighting - it's either BRIGHT FLUORO or really shit, if you have the latter think about alternative and decorative light sources like fairy lights, floor lamp etc. There's an fyeahdormrooms tumblr, if you want some more inspiration.

My studio is a bit dorm-roomish as it came fully furnished, I've just moved in and started decorating - not sure if the pic helps you at all, I'm also planning to make some card silhouettes to put up on the wall and get a rug.

>>7280084
What's your budget, are you going for functional/plain, and what size? You might be able to find a pink carpet offcut and get that made into a mat...

Does anyone have any idea what to fill your room up with when you have to much space? My room is roughly 6 yrds by 4 yrds and I'm not sure what to add to make it cuter and less barren.

Any hama rooms?

>>7280418
Try divinding it up into different sections. You can try taking part of it and turn it into a nice lounge/seating area. Another section for work/crafting/ etc....

>>7280430
That's a tall order, anon.

>>7280418
I would section off an area to use as a dressing room, by the wardrobe. Also a crafting/sewing corner since I make a huge mess when I'm cutting velvet. You could get the giant totoro bed as well....

A cute couch would take up space!

Anyone else have a problem with your bed taking up your entire space? I can't really move it anywhere else.

>>7280430
Not necessarily haha, but I have a sea shell bedspread. I'm currently working on some sea shell cross stitch patterns to hang, too. Right now my room is pretty plain.

>>7280656
Dropped my picture.

>>7280661
Ugly.

>>7280661
ugly

>>7280661

>>7280768

Oh well, I like it.

>>7280768
>>7280795
>>7280813
Samefag, samefag, samefag.

>>7280661
I think its nice.

>>7280661
Why would you have that if you don't live at the ocean?

>>7266850
Are there any more pictures of this one room? It looks like it could be really nice, but it looks really crowded from this pic

>>7280947
Oh wait nevermind, I'm seriously wishing I had a room like this now though

>>7280418
Wow, I wish I had that problem. I agree that breaking it up into different zones would be the way to go.

>>7280656
I feel ya. I am in a 10 ft x 11.5 ft (3.048 m x 3.5052 m) room. I am seriously contemplating getting a twin sized bed just to have a bit more space.

>>7281021
I'm similar to you anon and I have a twin bed right now and it's pretty comfy. However I am short as fuck so any bed isn't too long for me.

>>7280656
>>7281021
Loft bed!

>>7281048
I had one before and my feet always hung off it, but I had so much more space. Decisions, decisions...

>>7281147
My ceiling is too low for that set up. I enjoy sitting up and reading in bed. I tried sitting up on a friend's loft bed, but accidentally hit my head on the ceiling. He had had his bed shortened to account for his height. Under the bed was too low for me to feel comfortable.

I also have a ceiling fan and wouldn't feel comfortable with it on so close to me if I were higher off the ground.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it wouldn't work out in my specific circumstance.

>>7281210
What about an extra-long twin?

>>7281275
Oh. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The obviousness of this solution--I can't believe I overlooked it. Thank you, anon!

>>7281275
I didn't even know this was a thing.

>>7281555
Well... I know dorms have them. I know they must exist somewhere. I think the most challenging thing will be to find nice bedlinens in that size.

>>7281584
Use queen flat sheets on them and a queen duvet. They're the right length and it looks nice to have the extra overhang unless you have a border pattern. Plus the flat sheets don't come untucked as easily since there's more under the mattress

>>7269902
I really love that set up with the MH dolls, I wish I still had the boxes to do that with my unboxed ones. I'm gonna take some inspiration from this for later.

I recently made a shadowbox for my Eva figures that I'm happy with. :3

Looking for some dark mori and dolly kei styled room inspiration. Trying to make my room look like a forest witch's lair.

>>7282579
That sounds really cool. On my phone, so no pictures, but I'm picturing drapey gauze fabric and dried flowers, berries and herbs plus taxidermy animals like crows. For some reason potpourri springs to mind as well.

>>7282579
I think that kind of aesthetic is going to be achieved best by hitting up thrift stores and flea markets. There are a few places that align with that aesthetic but for the most part I can't think of any stores that sell a lot of stuff like that new.

>>7282288
I really like it too. Or even just taking the time and backing it with some themed scrapbook paper would help. I've found some really cute halloween ones over at JoAnn's before. It was even in the $1 bins so I got like six sheets for cheap. I'm>>7267806
and I'm in the process of rearranging furniture. I took those two shelves down that I had my MH dolls up on. I'm just not liking how those shelves look. I've moved them on top of our dresser for the moment, but I really want to come up with a better display for them above my sewing desk.

>>7281275
Not even that anon, but that's genius!

>>7280922
I do live at the ocean.

Anyways, I'm moving soon and would like to make my room more hama. Any recommendations? I'm most likely moving to a condo where I can't paint. Any inspiration photos would be great. Right now I'm looking at the seashell cottage in Deathly Hallows...

>>7282579
>>7282697
Agreeing with thrifting for dolly kei room. Unless you can afford buying everything on etsy. I'm working on making a medieval witch themed apt myself.

Decide what overall colors, wood type, and metal types you want before you go out thrifting.

Basic dolly-kei themed interior items that are common thrift finds: a giant tapestries. lace curtains. Large rugs. fancy mirrors. cool looking candleholders. tiered curio shelves. fancy lamps. There's a lot of bric-a-brac out there, so don't go crazy and buy every shitty "so-vintage" 70s thing you see. Once you find a good store in a nice area, you should definitely haunt it and be friendly with the staff.

Don't be afraid to go to old/shitty areas/stores, sometimes that's where the best stuff is because no one else goes there. Too urban or too rural areas tend not to have good antique/vintage stuff though. Need I say garage/church sales are great for picking up cheap nice furniture?

>common thrift finds: a giant tapestries. lace curtains. Large rugs. fancy mirrors. cool looking candleholders.
I would love to thrift shop wherever you do.

my goal is to have my room clean enough to post in one of these threads *____*

I'm still unpacking from my move but I got this area set up. My goal is for my room to be like a gothy pirate cave. Not like a pirate theme but I like seeing my little treasures and things that make me happy.
One of these threads about a year ago gave me the idea to make a my little earing hang which is an old stocking wrapt around a paper mached box. It kinda looks like everything's floating :3

>>7282781
You sound like you have moch better luck thrifting.

I think it really depends on the area. I think depending on the state, county, etc.... you're going to find more interesting pieces. Also, it really depends on how much your thrift stores get picked over by resell hunters. I've ran into people at goodwill specifically hunting for vintage pieces to resell on ebay.

Though we do have a local antique market, so sometimes I see some pretty cool stuff. Though sometimes I do have luck finding cool stuff that the vintage hunters don't grab(or just don't care about)

We found a nice matted and framed version of Juarez Machado's Bistro. We paid $10 for it.

>>7282781
I wish I had common thrift finds like that... there are legit no thrift stores in my city that would sell that sort of stuff, it'd either get picked up by vintage/antique/curio stores and marked up to gazillions, or I'd have to go way out of town, and I don't exactly have a way of transporting stuff like that home. On the plus side, the clothing pickings aren't too bad because all the vintage stores are so upmarket that they only go for super designer vintage and a particular look.

>>7283192
Do it. Also is that Jiji?

>>7283341
I wish :C chococat.

>>7282781
Thrifting definitely makes the most sense for the look I'm going for. The problem is around my area there tend to be more "vintage" stores that basically take thrift store level stuff and mark them up because they're old.

Also, for people looking for furniture. Try looking for furniture liquidation places. Specifically ones that do hotel furniture. There's one near my place that sends out trucks to collect hotel and motel furniture. Often they end up with a bunch of duplicate pieces from places that shut down or are switching to newer pieces. I always see tons of dressers, lamps, chairs, mirros, etc... I ended up getting a pair of old little end tables. They have metal legs. I ended up paying like $10 a piece for them. You can actually find some pieces in really good shape, and some very nice when they're from nicer hotels. I've even seen things like industrial fridges and so on. From my experience, the one I go to has better prices then even the goodwills in the area.

This is the place I go to. The back area kind of reminds me a bit of a junk yard, mostly because there's just a lot of stuff.

Also, sometimes just asking hotels themselves if they're getting rid of pieces. I remember When the Sahara hotel in Vegas was closing in 2011, they were selling off furniture and so on. Also, I remember talking to a friend who worked at Disneyland, and she scored a pretty big dresser from one of Disney's hotels.

>>7283907
I've seen hotel furniture being liquidated, but it was all very cheap plastic and formica type stuff. I'll definitely be on the lookout for better quality pieces.

>>7283913
I was confused but pleased by your kitty cat picture.

>>7283916
It was one of those weird errors where data got swapped. So somebody on another board ended up with a photo of the building instead of the kitty picture they posted.

But yeah. I think it really depends on where you're located. Because you're near an area where there's some nice hotels(like in the place I posted, it's in Anaheim and Disneyland isn't that far, so lots of hotels in that area.)

If all you have in the area are crappy little motels, you're just going to end up with junk.

Also, I don't usually admit it, but I've dumpster dived once(/DIY/ talks about it quiet a bit actually) We were looking for cardboard boxes since we were moving to a new place, and my husband looked inside a Target dumpster(one of those basic huge metal ones) and we saw a bunch of furniture in decent shape. Lots of desks and so on(they probably were damaged and we just couldn't tell) but we ended up grabbing an end table out of the dumpster and took it home. There's nothing wrong with it(it was wobbly but just needed tightened)

Usually you get in trouble for dumpster diving, but nobody said anything to us and this was in broad daylight.

>>7283922

Coincidentally, I ran across the cat pic in /toy/. I wonder how awkward it must be to have a NSFW image suddenly appear on one's post on a SFW board.

You have guts for dumpster diving during the day. I'm too chicken to even go at night.

>>7283958
Well we really only went in looking for boxes, and the dumpster was pretty much out in the open(unlike some places that keep them locked behind a gate.) It was easily accessible from the front parking lot. So it's not like we had to try very hard to get to it. Also since we were in a car instead of a truck, we really didn't look like those scrap collectors you usually see around. I think the worse we would have gotten was being yelled at by security.

The picture is the Target in question, and I circled where the dumpster was.

So yeah, it's probably the only time I've ever actually been dumpster diving.

>>7271066
I have a sweet-ass gaming PC in my room, but my room just generally isn't very lolita... At the moment I'm in university accomodation that I can't really decorate beyond posters. It was a pain in the arse taking a desktop PC and tower here without breaking anything, but well worth it.

>>7283188
>>7283304
>>7283341
I live the midwest.

Lace curtains are easily found almost anywhere. You just got to look at the home decor section. Tapestry blankets were popular in the 80s so they're commoner to find. If you can't find a candleholder in a thrift store you can pick one up at navy pier or marshalls.

I'm not even kidding when I say these are easy finds, because they're not always vintage. Sometimes they're just modern home decor people donate. You have to check back multiple times though, like once a week, that's the key. Don't be scared off my pickers. If they pick there it's probably a good store, and they could easily miss something or not come in one week.

Estate sales are great too. That's where I standing mirror.

>>7281021
I'm in a room that's smaller than the UK legal minimum for prison cells. 6 feet by 8 feet. The bed's a single bed which fits an extra-narrow mattress and it still takes up half the space. I've got one of those bunk bed arrangements with a desk and wardrobe underneath instead of a second bed. It's impossible for anyone to open the door properly while someone's sat at the desk. But at least I've got my own space, even if the wardrobe is fucking child size and won't fit most of my stuff. It's taught me to be organized, at least, and I'm actually looking forward to going to university and getting a bigger room.

>>7272227
Paint that desk! A nice semi gloss white would look great, then pick up a new chair from the thrift shop (if your strapped for cash) or you can re cover it
http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/how-to-reupholster-an-office-c-83201

Next I think you need to lighten the colors up, if you want to go for the traditional cute girly look. Lighter curtains,possibly a different wall color? a light light pink or cream color. I love your head board and side table as is. Id switch out your book shelf for a white one.

RE: People talking about small-ass rooms. I lived for a year in a room half the size of a traincar. It was a semi-furnished dorm-sort-of-deal, so I couldn't customize/paint any of the furniture. I basically got as much cute storage as I could.

Other than the tiny kitchen with no freezer, I'd be lying if I told you I didn't miss this little place. Still miss that bedspread, damn, it was so soft. It was overseas, so I couldn't bring anything home with me, really, except the art on the walls.

>>7284814
That setup looks comfy and snug as fuck anon, 10/10 for decor. Was it in Japan? Because I'm loving that kitchen set-up.

>>7284837
Australia. But I did have a Daiso to get shit from! It was snug as fuck, I loved it.

The kitchen was slightly annoying if only because I couldn't actually run two burners at once, and the burner was only the size of my palm. I had to run a rice cooker on my desk for pasta and cook the sauce on the stove.

But god, it was so cute. I'm moving again soon and can't wait to set up house how I want again. Right now I'm back with my folks in a room I've had from 3yrs to 24yrs... So there's a lot of, uh, strata, for lack of a better word. I can't wait to have it all unified.

>>7284814
>>7284881
It's a really cute place and it's nice seeing such a tiny space being optimized well.

>>7284895
Aw, thanks. I love small rooms.
Here's what I did with my actual dorm. It's a bit closer to how I normally decorate.

>>7284814
My ideal hikikomori apartment.

>>7284912
Oh yeah. You posted your dorm room before. I have it saved in my room folder.

>>7284912
Holy shit, your dorm's nice. Mine looked like a jail cell with shit wooden furniture and cinderblock walls painted this nasty off-white color.

>>7284928
Sweet. Yeah, I'm on these threads often for insp. Especially with new house. I am so fucking pumped.

>>7284925
It was rad, cept my neighbors turned out to be a meth lab one time.

Meanwhile, speaking of Daiso, and how much I miss it, other than Daiso themselves, anybody know a good place to do orders from Daiso? I don't really need a bulk pack of stocking hangers. But their shit was cute and functional. Same with Swimmer.

I have half a mind to just go back to Japan with empty suitcases. One for Lolita and one for cute house shit.

>>7284948
Yeah. I've saved a few images of seagull's rooms. My place is >>7267806
but after taking pictures, I started moving stuff around and now the place is a disaster again since I had pulled out a bunch of my sewing overstock(including three garbage bags full of fabric) over to a friends place and let them go through some of the sewing supplies and fabric. It helped cut down on my fabric a bit and they ended up getting some stuff they needed for cosplays(like buttons and the EXACT bias tape a friend needed for a group cosplay.)

>>7284948
and speaking of Daiso, perhaps consider setting up some kind of group orders? Or have a friend that lives near a Daiso be a kind of shopping service for you? I've got a Daiso near my place and I love the hell out of it.

Also, some organization hints. But you know the magazine file boxes like these? I actually took a couple of them and have them in my kitchen. One has some plastic plates in it, and the other I put all my plastic container lids(like tupperware lids)

It frees up space on my sleeves and I just keep the actual tupperware bowls and such in a cabinet.

>>7284966
and posting the picture would help. But yeah, these are pretty good if you want to store your container lids.

i need a cute comforter, mine isnt cute and im too lazy to make it properly because its not worth it. i had a floral duvet cover and then i realized i hate duvets because they're bullshit

I am ridiculously happy with our new flat. My bf viewed it without me, as we were moving to the other side of the country and I couldn't get the time off to househunt. The house is topsy turvy with loads of little hidden corners. The second bedroom is officially my craft and lolita room. Tons of light and built in closets. It was the only room which was decorated with wallpaper, which is a lovely ivory pattern with silver-and-black ivy and bird paintings. It's going to be such a chintzy gorgeous studio.

No photos because it's currently box city though.

Does anyone here have experience sleeping in a Japanese-style futon? I've been considering getting one since my room is tiny and their ability to be folded and stored away when not in use seems useful.

>>7285411
I used to have one, but unless you buy the really thick high quality ones you're going to be uncomfortable on your back. I've had better luck with the fold up foam mattresses which come in a variety of thicknesses and store more easily than the traditional ones.

>>7285411
They're kind of a pain in the ass. You have to hang them up every couple days (preferably outside) to air out and beat the dirt/moisture out. Also, unless you fork out the cash for a thick one of decent quality, it's hell on your back.

>>7285417
>>7285516
Where to buy high quality ones? Can I seriously just buy them from rakuten? If so, what should I look for/avoid when doing so?

>>7285530
Please respond. Google isn't really helping me. They sure give good advice on how to take care of them, but none on finding one. At least not this perfect, cheap, $60 shikibuton this one lady was raving about in her minimalist blog.

Again, please respond. I've been dreaming of having a futon so I can just sleep wherever I want.

>>7280661
I spy I am Malala! I'm reading that, too!

>>7285591
Dude, calm down. /cgl/ is a slow board, we're more about clothes than beds so it's going to take a while - maybe a couple days - for anyone who can answer your question to come along, if there's anyone who can at all. You might have more luck over on /jp/. Yeah, you probably can buy them from rakuten, though be prepared to pay out the ass for shipping and wait a long time.

If you want to sleep wherever, have you considered just getting a sleeping bag? Or are you too damn weeb to consider such a gajin thing?

>>7285621
Oh, you party pooper, let me weeb over this one thing!
I'm not hurting anyone, haha.
Are you sure /jp/ would be okay with it? There's so much shitposting on that board that I don't think it's even shitposting anymore. I get the feeling that they won't even answer my question but it's worth a shot...

>>7285636
A different anon, but somebody will probably be able to help you eventually. You just gotta be kind of patience, that's all. This thread is a bit slower then others.

>>7285655
I suppose so. Posting in /jp/ though so as to broaden the horizon.

Haha, thank you guys for your help.

>>7269675
Disregard the haters. I love this! I agree that it looks very 90's/early 2000's, that's what I dig. The colors are cool and it looks very cozy.

>>7269675
gross

>>7269902
This is a really good thing to keep in mind. I need to remember this when trying to rearrange my own figures. What's you opinion on "stair" shelving? Like, I can't think of the name of what I'm talking about, but it's basically a smaller tiered display shelf that would sit on a bookshelf. I think they come in handy for showing off a lot of smaller figures (pic related), but I'm really worried that it might make my shelving look overly cluttered with so many things on it, yanno?

>>7269675
I think your room looks awesome. I imagine actually being in it and I'd love it. It looks like a popular girl's room.

>>7285768
They're a nice way to help make shelves more visually interesting and look a little less crowded.

I've noticed the problem when people have similar sized figures. If you have them all at the same height, they can kind of get lost in a sea of plastic. I notice that problem tends to happen with people who have a ton of transformers toys.

>>7285768
Not the person you replied to but those are called risers. Usually, they are made of acrylic.

They can look like a clusterfuck but they can also look nice. It really depends. Your picture looks kind of clustered for my own taste.

I'm too lazy to look but I like how one anon that has the old mlp crap on risers posted in a thread before. That didn't look as bad.

>>7285794
Here's what I mean.

The one big problem when you end up with toys/figures that take multiple rolls. If you don't use risers, your kind of just barely see any of the back row.

>>7285768
I think the problem with that one is what >>7285796 mentioned.
They've go risers, but they've got sheer volume of stuff. I would personally probably separate that display into two shelves rather then fiting them all on one. It would give them a little more breathing room you could see them a little better.

So yeah. Risers are awesome, but just avoid too many figures/toys on a shelf. It just ends up looking like a big clusterfuck.

>>7285809
Sorry, I keep forgetting to attach images.

>>7282697
>>7282579
I appreciate this whole look, but seeing a room this full always scares me. If there was ever a fire that whole room would be a death trap.

>>7282793
Is this the Gryffindor common room?

>>7284912
Your carpet! Was it pink when you moved in? Or is that a rug? My carpet is such an ugly color I'm jealous!

>>7285768
I am overstimulated by your display and I find it hard to look at because of that. Beyond that: nice collection.

>>7285794
I like this display since my eyes are drawn to move around and focus on different pieces, but it's not overwhelming.

I never thought of staggering them like that before. That looks really nice and neat. Might have to look into that. Thanks guys!

>>7285837
That is almost definitely a rug.

How the hell are you guys so organized? I moved in October and I still can't seem to get things together. This is my first time living on my own (well, I'm with my bf) and I have no idea where to start. I don't know how to *establish places* for things.

>>7285902
I wish I knew too. I'm super envious of the other anons that manage to keep their shit together.

>>7285902
First, try to get rid of things that you really don't need or like.

Then, figure out what furniture you need or if you need to change the ones you currently have. Place furniture and other large items around until they make a decent looking but bare room.

Then figure out where smaller things goes like decorations, frames, whatever else to bring the bare rooms some life.
Repeat until everything is in place.

Just take it one small step at a time even if you just start with a corner of a room rather than one full room. It will build up eventually.

>>7285920
Keep in mind anon-chans probably clean up their rooms before pictures.

I know mine is super cute for photos and then. BOOM.

I will say: use wallspace. Put shelving on the wall. Keep stuff off the floor, it's only gonna pile up.

>>7285861
I love this furniture and I love these colors--just not all together. Seriously, though, thanks for sharing.

>>7285902
I'm organized because most of my shit is half a globe away at my parents' house. Less stuff= less mess. An excess of storage is good, if you don't know where to put things, interior design websites. There's probably only so many ways to lay out your furniture anyway

>>7267373
this is like an episode of hoarders

Any ideas on how to display magazines? I like to collect GLBs and other kooks and I'd like a better way to display them than a stack on my dresser.

>>7289361
Mooks, auto correct. It's mooks...

>>7289361
Try a wall mail rack? I think they have another name but I can remember it.

I had taken these pics of my room months ago when I tidied up haha but I'll post them here!

I really like my bedroom, it used to be so messy with like art supplies all over the floor but I got rid of half of the things because I didn't even use them, or put them away.

The only things I wanna change are the night table (it's really old and I want it to be dark wood like the rest of the furniture), that dresser next to bed (same reasons as night table) and I wanna paint the walls some shade of purple or lavender.

>>7289430
the cat on your bed is a nice touch. makes it look cozy.

>>7289448
Haha my cat is always asleep on my bed. Like. All the time. He begins loudly meowing at my door if I don't let him in haha.

>>7269772
i know that feel anon. My mother gave me a beautiful pink velvet jacket with fur trim, I hung it up in my room to stop it getting crushed and half of it is now a yellowy orange colour ;______; I don't know if I could try dying it back but...

>>7266850
love shit like this

>>7282765
i think i asked last thread but never checked back, what is that strawberry floor chair? it's so puffy.

>>7266929
I have some pics of Mori-ish rooms saved, I'll post them.

>>7289597

>>7289430
That dark wood is really nice, and I see what you mean about the walls, they are a bit insipid with the rich colours in your room. I would want to add more accents of purple in there so it's not just on your bed, but I think a dark purple would close your room in too much...so feature wall possibly?

>>7289747

>>7289791
Yeah I was thinking of doing that, maybe just paint one wall dark purple (the wall with the TV maybe) and the other ones a paler, brighter one.

Sorta like the two colors on pic related haha.

does anyone have any good blogs/tags for room pics? i always have problems finding what i'm looking for

>>7292400
Apartment therapy and decor8 are my two go-tos.

>>7289453
My cat's been a brat lately and climbing on the kitchen table. I think it's because her cat tower had to be moved outside. When she's outside(She sticks strictly to our backyard) She'll sleep in the top part of it in the sun.

I'm really happy since last night I went to goodwill and found a heavy stock print of Tournee du chat noir. I've been wanting to get a print of it for awhile, and I just happen to find it randomly there. I paid $4 for it and I plan to hang it above my sewing desk. I'm not exactly sure what it's on. I wanna say something particle board? But it's thick enough that it already has a spot on the back to hang it up.

I wish I had an elegant/cute room while staying more boy-like

I wish I had an elegant/cute room while staying more boy-like since i'm a boy

>>7292502
Men can have cute and elegant rooms, too. Which rooms are you drawn to? Maybe we can help you "masculinize" them. Color choice and patterns play a large role in how rooms come off.

I'm thinking of spraying a cute wooden storage unit I found. Has anyone done spray paint on wood before?

>>7292415
i will take a look, thanks

>>7289430
Can you do a closeup on your bookshelf and tv shelf?

i wish i had more usable wall space in my room. the lower half of my walls are all covered with this decorative stones/bricks that jut out of the wall like 3 inches so it makes putting dressers or anything against the wall really awkward

It's nothing too special, but all I have to say is I FUCKING LOVE command hooks. It started out as a shit tier dorm that looked like a motel room with hideous curtains.

so this is my mess and bonus pic of my closet my bed is behind that folding screen of Monet, i didn't take a picture of that and my large window because all the mess.

>>7297299
Have any of them slipped off yet? I can't drill into the walls so I'm trying to hang stuff off the walls too.

>>7297701
Nope. Not at all. I have the little ones too and one is holding a medium ceramic art piece up just fine

>>7297670
are those gaming chairs comfortable anon?

>>7285837
It's a bigass shag carpet from Target. Sorry for the delay, anon.

But the room is small enough, it covered almost all of the black carpeting.

>>7297670
Have you found your dresses getting dusty? I'd LOVE to hang up some of mine like yours, but even with all the windows closed most of the day, my apartment builds up dust really quick. I'd hate to get that all over my burando. :T

>>7297914
in fact they are super comfy, but after a few hours your butt starts to hurt, and for a few hours im meaning to 5 or 6.

>>7297987
I think you are talking about this post anon, right?
>>7297299

>>7267106
that shit spilling out under the bed is pissing me off

>>7298020
But the monsters need privacy too anon.

Anon from: >>7297299

They haven't gotten dusty yet, but I wear and rotate them regularly so that contributes.

Please stop hanging dresses on your walls. It looks terrible.

>>7297299
Command tabs + dollar store bag clips make a cool wall storage solution too. I have all my hats clipped up on a wall this way. No image because my wardrobe is small and sad.

>>7298127
i'm gonna agree with this

My room isn't very lolita or cosplay related, but it's full of cute junk I buy from Asian shops so it's relevant enough I guess.

Does anyone have any rug recommendations? My carpet is so ugly and boring (and stained by makeup, yuck), but I can never find a cute, good sized rug that matches my room.

>>7297299

>>7298127
i have to agree with this, why do you do that?
maybe if you only hang a few pieces it could be nice, but... srsly... looks like this

>>7298127
All that fabric is going to get faded in a year.

>>7297670
your room is sorta like mine. dunno where to put my crap.

>>7298270
i love your room omfg.

>>7298277
i need to buy furniture to put it but i rather prefer buy clothes or videogames than a desk, lol, i don't have any room for my xbox so i just put it in the box again, and i can only display 3 wigs out of 6, etc. I need some ideas to fix my space problem.

>>7298270

Man, that's an awesome room. If you were my big sister I'd be all up in your shit.

<3 this thread guys, I'm about to cross country move/start from scratch in the spring so I'm looking for inspiration

>>7298281
Thanks, me too which is lucky because I'm such a hermit haha
>>7298288
As it is my little sister just sneaks in at 6am to steal my clothes (and then leaves them on the floor of her pigsty room for months)

>>7298270
Your major color is pink so I'd go with a strawberry rug.

If you want more mint (or whatever color that is) accents, you could go for a regular, shaggy mint rug but you'd need more mint besides the curtains.

>>7298272
I have no room to put anything. My closet is full of military clothing and business wear and there is no room for a clothing rack. I have blackout curtains and don't have to worry about fading. It's really a matter of using the space I've got. I can't legally remove any furniture from that dorm to make room for a rack either. I am also unable to legally move to a different space that will hold my clothes for another nine months.

>>7297997
where did you get them from? I need something to replace my crappy beanbag chairs with badly

>>7272842
It's the same as a normal table, except it's better for your blood flow. I'm tall as fuck so sitting down in chairs makes my flowing to the legs fucked up, sitting on the floor is much better

saw a frilly bed set that Lolitas might like.

I would like it if it came in black and I wasn't mentally thinking about all the clothing I could buy for the same money. That website has awesome soft furnishings though.
