voldie why u gotta get a morph suit weren't you accidentally sent like 40 that one time?

>>7938253
Yeah, I hardly use that chalkboard so that list is from ages ago. I'm probably gonna paint over it soon and put up a collage of photos or something.

>>7938251
mother of god, man. Your room looks like its straight out of Animal Crossing

>>7938273
I'll take that as a compliment (there are only two kittens they just move around a lot)

>>7938188
>>7938292
Also I know I do it, but you really shouldn't display dresses on your walls. They can fade in the sun, and they get really furry/dusty if you have pets. It's better to store them on a clothesrack with a cover on top.

I have always wanted a big print of the moon kingdom from Sailor Moon. Has anyone seen anything like that for sale?

>>7938310
I'm staring at this wondering why would anyone need THAT MANY pairs of scissors.

>>7938486

Same here. The original show's resolution was so poor that getting a clean pull from it would be impossible.

I'd saw see if you can get an imagine from SMC. That has a much nicer quality. Then go on groupon or something and get one of those canvas deals where they will print it and frame it on real canvas.

>>7938534
Looks like it's for show since they have different colored handles. I have a bunch of scissors but that's from my habit of misplacing them all the time. At least I keep my place cleaner now so they're easier to find when I tidy up.

>>7938547
This is the best I've found so far. It's very pretty, but I'd prefer it without Serenity there. I don't know if that's a standard size in the US, but I don't see frames in that shape here. It's too short, so I'd have to get something custom.

Anyone have any ideas for 2 opposites living together?
I want to redo my room and pretty much my entire house, but husband is a black-wearing, pierced metalhead fool, and I'm more into popping colors or shabby chic, thought I think shabby chic is better for main rooms.

He HATES girly things and especially the color pink.
Ideas/Inspo on what might work for the both of us?

>Do you keep your cosplay weapons hung up on the wall or shove them in an umbrella stand?
I wish, I just stuff them where I can find a place for them. Half of them need thowing away anyway since I'll never use them again. I hang up all my con badges though on my pinboard.

Thankfully I have a much bigger space to use for making cosplay, my room is just storage.

>>7938310
>dat god-tier organization

>>7938534
>>7938555

It's for scrap booking, each scissor has a different edge

>>7938685
I'm in a similar situation although my bf is a little more lax about how the bedroom looks. I plan to get some
Neutral/dark blankets over white sheets and add colored accent pillows. Like pic related with maybe more true- white sheets and cases and throw in a dark color velvet accent pillow or something. Still darker but still cute with some color here and there.
For other rooms I think shabby chic is
a good idea and easy to do neutrally. Find art that you both like and be adamant about not wanting a boring all-black/masculine room even it it just means a small table or some colorful decorations here and there

>>7938685
Make it weird, make it pink, make it strange and cute.
That's how I get nice things.

Can cgl recommend any "room simulators" to kinda put together furniture placements and color schemes?

>>7938726
jesus chriiiist i wish i could find some linen for less than the cost of my soul. that texture<333

Can someone recommend a good place on taobao that has ready made curtains? Ideally thermal/blackout. I almost went to buy what I thought were custom made curtains, but it turned out they just provided the fabric.

I really like sketchup, but if you don't wanna go through downloading everything, the pottery barn room planner is pretty simple and easy to use (used here >>7938252)

>tfw shitty room in shitty run-down apartment complex

I-I just want a cool room. When I lived at home, my mother was very strict about our rooms, only she was allowed to decorate them, and we were not allowed to hang posters or anything of the sort. All the art, furniture, and bedding were things that she picked out for us.

Now I can't really afford to make my room cool, and the complex doesn't allow us to paint. Life is suffering.

tfw shitty college dorm room so you cant have a kawaii as hell lace cave

Does anyone know where I can find storage boxes for shelves like >>7938310? Looking for dark purple ones specifically. On e-bay I was only able to find fabric ones, but I'm looking for boxes that are a bit more solid.

>>7940808
They sell boxes like that at the Container store, though it doesn't look like they carry them in purple.
http://www.containerstore.com/shop/storage/storageBoxes?N=71226&Nao=0

If you find something that's made of plastic or paper you could always paint them? Probably stupid advice, but it's an idea.

>>7940808
Ikea also sells them.

Anyone have suggestions for how to put up posters? I have a million prints from cons, and not quite sure how I should arrange them. Besides not making a huge block of them side-by-side, since that usually looks really bad. Is there any kind of layout people usually follow for putting up prints?
I'm awful at decorating, but I just want a cute weeb-y animu room ;~;

I would post but my house is much more /vr/ than /cgl/

>>7938251
KITTENS

>>7941497
I think plain posters on the wall tend to look terrible, and I much prefer them in frames or at least with some sort of backing to frame them. I would suggest having a look at how people arrange their family photos/artwork in general on walls.

Recently redid parts of my room. I just don't have enough space for all my crap though.

>>7941632
Also, sorry for the crap lighting. My light fixture is cute but barely useful.

>>7941497

How many do you have? Do you have enough walls to hang them on?

If you've got a manageable number of posters that you really love, frame them up like anon says, then space them out on the available walls. If you haven't planned any layout in your rooms yet, plan where you're going to put things like the tv, the fridge, and the shelves first, since having a living space that works is more important than living in a poster gallery. The hang the posters on the remaining wall space.

(I know pic doesn't have the posters in frames. If you don't feel up to framing them up (it's pricey), you can chose not to. Framing them up protects them from dust and accidental tears, which in turn suggests the posters are important to you).

>>7941632
>lalaloopsies
mah nigga.

>>7941645
Lalaloopsies are some of the most creatively designed toys for girls out right now. Also they are cute is a crreepy kinda way which is the best.

How do you keep yours? My cats keep knocking these over so I'm trying to figure out a different way to display them.

>>7941640

If you have a bunch of posters that kind of go together (all similarly colourful) you could pick out a wall and make a poster collage on it.

Just be careful with your poster choice, or it could look really messy. If you don't feel like painting in borders, you could leave the wall white and space them out, or use washi tape as borders to seperate the posters.

>>7941663

And lastly, if you have posters but not enough wall space and you don't particularly mind destroying them, cut them up and decoupage it onto your furniture.

>>7941578
do it anyways

>>7941652
I have mine displayed on inset book/wall shelves with my pullips. I'll take a picture of it in a bit to show you.

>>7940808
Adding onto what >>7940884 said, you could just get boxes like that and cover them with decoupage paper, etc in your chosen colour

>>7939159
>>7939526
not sure about the room/furniture planning, but for the colour schemes part of stuff I love this: http://letschipit.com/
Evidently made by a paint company to promote their own products, but you can find pictures whose general aesthetic you like and it'll create balanced paint colour palettes for you

I love these threads! My family and I are going to be moving in a month, so I'll have to be saying goodbye to my current room. However, this thread is giving me ideas of what I should do to my new room.

Pic related, its my room now.

>>7939460

>>7941930
>>7941941
wtf anon, please ditch those hot pink bedsheets, maybe get something in a lighter pink or cream to match your dresser and bed, it will look miles better.

>>7941930
you need to work on blending your values a bit more. your current work nearly has cel-shading, which can be fine, but i don't think that's what you're going for. your proportions are good, so just use a bit more vine and less pressed and you'll be golden!

>>7941961
They're mostly temporary sheets until I find something nicer. I haven't had the chance to find anything better. I know that they really clash with the rest of my room.

>>7941962
Hey, thanks! I have major issues blending my values. I've been trying to practice more in school.

Here's my tiny shoujo bedroom. I've moved some things around since I took these.

My big rule was to have frames for everything- every print, poster, everything went in frames. You'd be surprised how classy something looks once you stick it in a frame! Especially with a mat around it. You can find super cheap, nice ones on ebay, even funky sizes. Anything that was too small to frame very well was put on a corkboard or on the fridge. With figures and things too, they were regulated to specific display areas.

>>7941971
your fabric study looks lovely! it's only really noticeable on jennifer.

definitely look into different grades of vine/ different methods of lifting, like paper towels or tissues, or even a gum eraser.

your open attitude to concrit makes me think you'll be able to improve exponentially while you're taking classes! it's the most important thing, because it's so hard to see what's wrong with your own picture, even when it drives you insane to look at it and you've been up all night trying to figure it out.

I know that the knick-knacks don't go with the antique hand mirrors, but I have to keep everything behind doors because my cats are bastards

>>7941979
Your room is really cute (especially the cat on the bed haha)! I like the colors a lot.

But, it seems so much like the room of a... very young girl. It's like when you called it your tiny shoujo room you weren't kidding. It's not a bad thing, I'm sure some people would probably say the same about my room, but there's something about your room... maybe it's the furniture, I don't know. I'm sorry if this comes off offensive. It really is a cute room and the color combo is lovely, imo.

>>7941979
this looks really cute, nicely done anon
there's a few things that stick out a little much, like the two black organisers in the bottom left pic, but not enough to really make a difference cuteness-wise

might i ask why the mirror covering? i see people doing that occasionally and wonder, is there some particular benefit to that? or is it just for aesthetic

>>7939416
>cat on bed

>>7941986
I also think antique furniture can look lovely in a lolita type room

>>7941998
I don't know if this is why OP did it, but mirrors facing the bed is supposed to be bad luck, so maybe they covered it because of that. Or they don't like to watch themselves having sex

Help me kawaii-ify my kitchen /cgl/. I will be putting a cute curtain above the sink, but what else? I have also since painted the little shelves on the left white like the cabinets.

>>7941979
Your room is lovely! Your color scheme is especially beautiful. Where did you get your shelf? I need something like that for all calacas my parents got me from Mexico.

>>7941998
I kind of assumed they covered their mirrors so you wouldn't be able to see their reflection during the pictures.

>>7941924
>>7939159
>>7939526
https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel/
The absolute best for color schemes. Make sure to use the black/bright slider at the very bottom to get dark or light schemes.

>>7938486
I found a better screenshot, however you would have to find a place to get a print.

>tfw my room is too messy to post

>>7941995
eh, I knew that going into it. I kinda never had a "little girl" room growing up I guess, with big, heavy antique furniture and so on. I'm not in any relationship where bringing home someone to the bedroom would be happening, and even then, they should know enough about me by now to know that I enjoy the aesthetic in there. I feel part of it is the size/proportions, too. It's a tiny-ass room, the bed easily takes up a good 3/5ths of it.

As it happens, I tried to make the rest of my house "grownup" looking. Pic related.

>>7941998
The black things are no longer there! Again, pic's a bit old. I found better little organizers in more-fitting colors.

As for the mirror-covering, some of it is for dust/keeping it clean, but to be honest with you, since it faces my bed, it's mainly to block my reflection so I don't scare the living shit out of myself when I sit up at night.

>>7942020
Thank you!
It's actually an old teacup-shelf. They're easy enough to find. This one cost me $15 at a goodwill and must've belonged to a dentist, because one side was utterly covered in stickers that had to do with teeth.

>>7942088

>>7942019

Here's one with the insides of the cupboards painted pink, and part of the outsides painted with cute graphics.

You could do blue inside instead of pink if you prefer, and instead of paint you could use other materials -- like cute patterned wallpaper on just the back wall of the cupboards, or those wallpaper stickers on the cupboards instead of painting it. Just try to keep the designs in balance, don't cover your entire kitchen with kawaii graphics.

>>7941979
What've you got in that holder on your door? Jewelry?

>>7942091
can I ask where the little room divider in the second picture with pendents is from?

>>7939333
That is a godly otome wardrobe, i love the bright colors.

>>7942730
It's actually just kind of a door... hanging thing. It's from India, but my mom got it for me in Edinburgh. When I searched "Indian Door Valance," I got a ton of them on google, so that's where I'd look.

>>7941979
I love your room a lot especially the bright colors!!

I'm looking to redo my room. I'll post a picture if I absolutely have to, but I prefer not to show my room in its current state.

My room's current colors are black, white, and red. My decorations are largely ones from when I was a teenager, lots of gargoyles and dragons and things.

Help me redesign my room, /cgl/. I'm thinking of upping the amount of white and replacing the red with purple. What shade of purple would best compliment the white and black?

this is my room.

>>7944391
i'd usually go straight for the lavender, but maybe just because i'm the biggest whore for prints like cinema doll or fantastic dolly

I've been wanting to film a room tour video for a while since I love watching those, would it be alright to post it here once I make it? I'll share some of my favs once I get on my laptop

Its really good and well made!

Random parts of my tiny room. I moved here about 6 months ago and might be moving again in Spring across the country so I cant be bothered to make it quite as cute as I want to. Probably ditching all the furniture when I leave so it's all cheap. It's the nicest room I've ever had though, my family isn't very wealthy. Sorry about all my actual nice dresses being in dust covers ;_;

>>7944662
Look at all that pink

>>7944664
oh yeah, I forgot to apologize in advance for the ridiculous over-editing

>>7944662
I love your room, anon. It's the perfect amount of cute and weeb for me.

>>7944662
Aaah so perfect! Where did you find that yuru Yuri blanket(?)!?

>>7944682
>>7944699
Thanks guys, I'm always happy coming home to it. I still have a lot of organizing to do that you can't see here.

I think the blanket is from a Japanese Rakuten site called Princess Curtain or something similar. It was over a year ago that I bought it so I'm not sure if they still sell it, but they might have similar things.

>>7944662
Did you have any QC problems on the Shiro? Some people had realy bad paint job.

>>7944415
Do you think lavendar will look good with a darkish floor?

Anyone has any ideas about what I can do about my room? My rooms looks pretty bad here, but it's actually pretty nice and light during the day. It's really small tho, so I don't think i can have any more furniture. Any suggestions to what I can do about my walls, maybe the drawers or anything?

>>7945101
Walls are too plain

Except for the birds

>>7945101
At least you've got a nice colour of cream to start off with, do you have any major limitations in terms of what you're allowed to do to the place we should keep in mind?

The first thing I'd suggest, either way, is adding in a second accent colour in there to offset the cream. Right now the first thing my eye is drawn to is that little blue organiser system and nothing but. If you want to go for that blue, go ahead. If not, maybe consider painting/covering it to match whatever you choose so it isn't the sole focal point of your room.
Don't really know your style/personality, but with the bird decals and whatnot, and the wood flooring, I'd almost suggest a combination of pale green and pale blue accents? Make it kinda cutesy naturey?

I bought a poster yesterday.

>>7944750
Mine isn't horrible like a couple of the ones on MFC, but it's definitely not on par with the other Koto figures I own (they aren't the top company but they're usually pretty clean). It's mostly the sculpt of the hair that's really sloppy, and some of the paint on the seifuku. Mine is pretty nice, but in general they all have the same problem that I wouldn't expect from a $100+ figure. It's not noticeable unless you're looking at it though, and I honestly love her nonetheless. It still looks like the pictures and the colours are nice and the face is cute.

Also you can see the top of the head before you open the box so it's easy to see if they fucked up before you open it.

anyone have inspo of rooms/apartments like this?

>>7943835

>>7940570
Anon, you should ask your landlord if you can paint your walls, if you repaint them back to their original colors, I know some will.

Could I ask you for help?
I am trying to redecorate my room from it's previous "super kawaii baby princess" theme to a gothic/classic victorian room, but I have TONS of cute plushies. I can't throw them because they are very significant to me and I'd like to have them displayed even if they clash with my room.
Is there any way in which I could make them work or should I just hide them?

>>7938704
I hope you see this... Where did you buy your little witch academia poster? It's so cute. I feel like an idiot, but my googlefu is super weak today.

>>7945501
You can maje wear them some gothic accessories like roses, mini bats, put on their necks a little choker (i used my old studded bracelet in a bunny pink plushie similar to gloomy bear) or dye them in black red blue etc as you would like. I want a cute creepy room as well because i love pastel and cute things as well gothic stuff so having a room that is cuteand spooky at the same time is my dream.
>tfw shitty middle school bedroom in green
>but i have to wait to create my dream room until i move to live by myself

I want to live in a place like that.

My shits way too bland at the moment and I'm too broke to redecorate.
Not to mention I need to repaint the walls and rip up the carpet.
Holy fuck do I need to rip up my carpet, but that would involve cleaning out all the crap in my room.

This is my room at the moment. I'm planing on putting some crown molding in the future and getting a display case to put some of my figures cause it gets pretty dusty because of all my plushies.

>tfw no /cgl/ gf with nice room

I didn't buy it, it was a gift from TRIGGER at AX '13. I know there's a high-res scanned copy one floating around somewhere that you could use and print.

I'm curious about how this loft came about, was that already a feature in the house or did they make it? Assuming I'll be forever alone, I really want to make my own rendition of that cozy hole.

Our apartment's heating is crap so we built kotatsu from and IKEA Tofteryd coffee table with Lack legs and a kotatsu heater we found on craigslist.

>>7946423
mad jelly, I wanted a kotatsu in my room for the longest time, but I wound up just getting a coffee table.

Although now that I think about it I could just stick an electric blanket under it and it'd probably work the same.

Along the lines of fashionable yet practical accessories, I just got this hollow glass head for 9$ at Ross and it's cool because it is life size so you can put wigs and stuff on it properly but also put cool stuff inside it like lights or other cool jazz.

Totally beats having my beat up foam head out all the time.

>>7946573
Got it at a con a long time ago, because I was too cheap to get a squishable. Now I have drunk the squishable Koolaid. Shiba is very deflated now. But his tag says Caltoy, and Sega, apparently.

>>7946563
Haha, yeah? Thanks for following!

>>7947227
I think it mainly stems from moving quickly and not having a long time to look?

These are my rooms- >>7942091 >>7941979
Everything except the sofa, the little console behind the sofa, and the sari pouf were thrifted and repainted, scavenged (side table was literally drug out of an alley) or inherited from my great grandmother. The most expensive furniture piece was the bed frame, craigslisted for $200. Most of it was under $50. I'm still stoked I got my vanity for $30. I literally started looking for furniture when I was 15, and for about two years before I moved out. I was really really fortunate that I had the time to hunt and seek and space to store my stuff till I moved.

But a lot of people and most of my friends weren't so lucky. They had to move quickly, and therefore buy a ton of furniture at once. It didn't matter what the furniture looked like so long as it worked. So a mishmash of handmedowns and IKEA and things snatched quickly on Craigslist that don't necessarily all go together. Give them a break Anon.

>>7947272
What sort of paint did you use to repaint your furniture? I was just going to spraypaint mine, but I don't know if there's something specifically for furniture that's better.

I'm pretty jelly of some of these rooms, i just have a 3x3m room thats basically a bed, wardrobes and a tiny desk.

>>7947276
I used actual housepaint like from Sherman Williams. One smaller can of the mint was enough to do two shelves and the vanity. It goes a long way! Interestingly, all of it was Sherman-Williams, but some are more rugged than others. The vanity and shelves are pretty indestructible, but my white desk paint scratches off if I ding it at all. And the purple in my living room still feels sticky sometimes, nine months later.

>>7947272
basically this, all my furniture is craigslisted, I picked up a free couch that would make you scream, it's orange leather and it looks like someone spilled a keg across the back

I live in a shitty apartment/pick up and move a lot, so we toss/pick up cheap furniture, I'm not getting nice/matching shit till we settle down

How do you guys deal with your knick-knacks?

I've gotten rid of a fair few, but there's a lot I need to keep for sentimental reasons. Right now I'm thinking of storing some of them, and rotating my displays.

>>7948880
Rotating them is a good idea. I have a friend with a figure collection he rotates based on the seasons. Summer he has the swimsuit ones out, then switches to school uniforms in fall(and so on)

I keep most of mine stored away in totes and keep out certain sets like my Disney collection, and favorite pokemon type set. The rest are stored in plastic totes. Keeps them safer then in cardboard boxes.

> Summer he has the swimsuit ones out

Fuck, that's really cute.
I'm not huge on figs but I've got one or two.

I've been scouring Ebay for a cute lilac purple bedspread, but can't find anything I like. I'm going to be completely redoing my room in purple, white, and black accents.

If anyone has a better color scheme suggestion, I'm open. I'm considering replacing the black accents with pink.

Anyone have good resources for kawaii as fuck bedroom furniture/decor?

I'm poor as fuck and stuck in a dorm room, so I can't go full on cute. Can't even afford to get rid of my gross comforter, but the whole thing is not terrible.

>>7950936
How kawaii are we talking? I found the cutest bed set for a queen sized bed the other day on aliexpress. It was lilac with ruffles and had white bunnies on it and it was cute as fuck. I'll try to go find it

>>7950744
i like the furniture but not the arrangement of everything jam packed together, as a chronic bumping into shit person myself.

Holy shit, that is exactly what I want (rabbits are going to be the main theme of the room). You're the best!

we (bf and I) just moved into a simple 1 bedroom apartment with a slight 70s vibe and brown cabinets/ baseboard/ doorframes. do you guys think a cafe theme with white/green/brown would look ok?

I like how cute white shelves look, and brown wouldn't look weird with the already brown things here..I feel like white and lighter wood is obviously more normal but that would clash with the apartment. we also can't paint or nail stuff in the walls.

>>7950955
looks nice and cozy anon!

>>7939329
This is so cute, but if I tried this I know I would fuck it up.

>>7939427
I know that feel. I have such a short attention span, I'll start it and then get distracted. I've been trying to clean my room since may.
I hate being a lazy pos

>>7938300
what's the white whole thing in the back of the room? I've wanted one but i don't know what they're called

>>7940570
oh my god anon, that sounds horrible. Reminds me of a girl I know in high school whose mom kept taking her petticoat from its usual spot and shoving it in the top of her closet so it got all fucked up.

>>7941632

>>7942088
Same. I did post it once, just so anons would tell me how disgusting I am for motivation. It worked for a while, but then I got busy.

>>7950955
Oh my god anon I actually really love this it's not super fancy but it looks so cozy and I just want to cuddle and watch anime there

>>7950655
;_;
All of you did a lovely job decorating your rooms -- I'll leave now.

>>7950955
this is really adorable, anon, nice job!
>also that bear on the left
>it sees into my soul

have my room on day one back when it wasn't the complete mess it is now. (to picture it now just imagine lots of clothes, anime posters, fashion magazines, gaming stuff, and art supplies all over the place)

>>7951890
Aw, thank you!

>>7951967
It does mine too, i have to turn it around when i sleep

>>7938685
I guess all you can do now is wallow in your mistakes of marring a stubborn metal-head

>>7950955
At the very least it looks comfy as hell anon.

Hey seagulls, I got a cheap new desk recently but it looks vastly different compared to the rest of my furniture. It's a very light brown which looks out of place next to the rich brown of the rest of my furniture, and quite frankly horrendous in comparison. I've one wall painted dark purple, and the other three are lilac which I painted over the summer. I still have enough paint left from the dark purple pot, so I am thinking of painting the desk that colour.

Is this a bad idea? I literally don't know the first thing about painting furniture.

>>7952582
sand it down before you paint

>>7941632
Where did you get your bedspread? It's neat as hell.

>>7952583
Yeah, I was thinking that myself. The sides look pretty bad, all wood chippings although it is reasonably smooth. I'll give it that extra sanding just in case.

Looked up a couple of guides and it seems I'd need a primer, and a sealer (although the only kind of sealer at my local DIY store is a spray - would that do?) besides the usual paint supplies. Is there anything else that I'd need to know? It's fresh out of the box so I don't believe I've to condition it or anything.

>>7952598
in my experience (parents used to be decorators) the standard procedure is sand - prime - sand again with a finer grit to get a smoother surface (you may need to, depends on how rough your surface is) - paint (normally 2 - 3 coats) - seal, my parents always used sprays. it's important to leave it 24 hours between your last coat of paint and your sealant.

>>7952603
Cool, I'll keep that in mind. I'll attempt painting it over the next two weeks and will post before and after pictures in a room decor thread that happens to be up. Thanks for the advice!

>>7952621
no problem, i'll be looking out for them, i love before and afters of furniture~ (curse you parents for making me want to constantly change my room)

>>7952621
I would test a small patch that you could hide if it turns out poorly. It sounds like it is made of composite wood and a veneer, in which case those are really hard to sand down and paint nicely. I recently painted my kitchen cabinets (which was a bitch) and I had solid wood ones from the 70's and one stand alone pre-fab newer one. The pre-fab one was much harder to sand/paint the the wood ones, and it still doesn't look as nice.
tl;dr I would only do a small little section first to see if it looks good

>>7946508
120% thanks for this amazing tip anon!

Some really cute and cosy looking rooms here. I'd like to take a stab at getting some stylin' up in this bitch, with a bit of sophistiweeb inspiration and perhaps rooms that fit more with j-fash etc. I do like all the plushies etc but for me a bit of interior design nous into the mix is nice too.

DENY Designs. They have a lot of designs made by different artists. The irl quality isn't the best but it looks cool in photos.

>>7938251
I don't understand why girls put their dresses on the walls like posters, like, why not just put it in the closest?

>>7953690
I never got this either, it seems weird, also fucking dust!

>>7953690
I personally do it because I see my dresses as art and want to display them

>>7953722
They look so ugly on a wall all limp like that, I display my dresses on my dressform and I switch it out once or twice a week.

>>7950963
Does anyone know where to get not totally ugly single bed stuff? It's all kids things around here.

>>7950962
Agreed.
I'm always bruised from bumping into shit, so the layout would suck for me. I do like the glass display though - it would be great for jewelry and head accessories.

>>7950962
>>7954174
That's a walk in closet. It's supposed to have a layout like that

Anyone have any room/general decor pinterests? I've just signed up to the site and am looking for some inspiration.

>>7953744
Depends what you're looking for - I used to do a black queen size fuzzy faux mink blanket + black fur throw + brocade pillow cases/pillows on my bed for a textured gothic look, and since the throw + pillows cover the blanket (which was just there to hide the ugly bedframe) it worked well for me.

>>7954395
I know what a walk in closet is, but I'm the type of person who'd bash into the cupboards if they're not flush together.

>>7953744
Seconding!

That Deny Designs site another anon linked looked amazing, but unfortunately no singles. Amazon only do twee floral shit (not twee enough to actually look nice though, if you get what I mean) and yeah, local places here only do very plain bedspreads or kid ones.

>>7955301
Ah, nevermind then. It sounded like you thought it was an actual room. Whoops

>>7955767
It's all g.
Although an entire room just for my clothes would be nice.

>>7953744
>>7955326
I have two comforters from Ralph Lauren. (One I bought in TJMaxx, and the other on Ebay) I bought a queen size for a double bed, but I'm pretty sure they make smaller sizes too. There's really pretty floral designs.

>>7955962
Other one, which I'm using now in a more classic room.

>>7955968
Here's one, so they do exist as twins/singles: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/281503469630?lpid=82
