For all of my seagulls who love Lolita interior, has anyone seen this site before?
It looks like they sell items specifically for Lolita homes but the website is in Japanese so I can't understand it.

What do you guys think? Would you buy anything from here? Do you like the idea of mass produced furniture for Lolita or would you rather have a unique home filled with furniture you collected on your own?

Personally, I love the option to buy their products and would love to reupholster some of the furniture to fit my personality and style better.

I'd buy from them if I could find a SS that would order for me.

So lolita room general?

Sure, why not.

I wonder if an SS would be worth the trouble? I know that sometimes I see furniture online and it looks like its made properly but when you see it in person it looks like ikea crap.

You're right about main pieces but some of the items they're selling on the site may be worth it? I guess it would depend on where you live or how difficult it would be to buy this type of furniture in your country?

I love this kind of decoration, but I always feel like it's too "artificial" - like if I wanted to put stuff that I use everyday there, such as a tv or a computer, it would look cluttered and out of place.

Yeah, my bedroom has a nook closet and the room is pretty open when my bed is against the wall. Right now it's a bit cluttered and looks smaller because my bed is sticking out into the middle of the room.

I know it is, google kept asking if I wanted other licensed photos. I just couldn't find any Lolita-ish kitchens.

Dark brow can be super cool for gothic/ darker classic/mori inspired room.

[Anonymous No.7564667]

The brown furniture is really nice, I'd feel terrible about sanding and painting it. If anything, I'll paint the bookshelves and the desk brown, go for a classic/mori room like you said. Maybe paint my walls mossy green or something.

I'm just a big baby who wants a kawaii pink otaku room.

[Anonymous No.7564692]

Anyone else noticed they sell exactly the same lamps as Victorian Maiden?
http://www.romapri.com/product/PD07348/

The furniture stuff looks nice on the pictures but I'm sceptical about the quality. Furniture of this style (and of decent quality) would cost me at least 3 times as much here in Europe.
A nice sofa like pic related can easily cost up to 1000€, 100,000 yen seems really cheap in comparision. I personally would trust the site, not before I have seen any decent reviews.

I have the dresser from that set in the brownish black colour, its pretty nice tbh and holds quite a bit. The drawers are lined with cute paper! The only things I have to say are, the glass top shows dirt and smudges really easily, I'd assume even more-so with the white version, so it requires regular wipe-downs. Also, the handles for the drawers look shitty and are shitty. I want to invest in some vintage glass ones because those are cute, but if you're cheap just like paint them a colour. Can we have some lolita-room DIYs up in here as well? :)

Paint jobs help but I think adding some wood decals and changing the knobs can help bring it closer to your goal. Whether that is Mori/Lolita/Gyaru

You can try antique/country stores but 90% of the time the owners just purchase the items from estate auctions, refurbish them if they look like crap and then sell them for 300x what they paid.

It's easy to get furniture for cheap at some auctions because most of the people who go to them don't have vehicles that can carry large pieces. I worked at one yesterday and a massive bed frame with pillars for a canopy sold for $11. There wasn't even anything wrong with it.

Here is a painting tutorial of use, the main moral of which is to use an oil-based primer.

Also possibly relevant, Home Depot and/or paint stores carry machines that can scan items and custom-mix a matching paint color. Handy if you've got Ikea laminate stuff and are trying to match other furniture to it.

I always forget that I can match my ikea furniture but I already have metallic silver as an accent so it seems to be working out okay. Now that I'm no longer living in a heatwave hell I can paint my doors and trim silver.

I mostly wear Gothic Lolita, but I want my room to look like this. I fucking love shabby chic. I think I'd rather go through the trouble of sifting through antique shops and restoring furniture.

Ideally, I'd have my bedroom (or if I'm living with a partner, an office space) to be pastel pink and white with rose designs, but the living room be more of a warm, inviting "eclectic" space for entertainment

>graphic printed pillows
>pops of teals and burnt orange
>Marumiyan canvas art
> a coffee table with coffee table books (I'm thinking Calvin and Hobbes, and some graffiti photography ones)
>entertainment set including record player and vidya game consoles

As much as I like this design, it still feels a bit formal.

[Anonymous No.7565863]

>>7565834
All I can say is be careful about the furniture you get if it's pre-restored. We got some bookshelves and a coffee table from an antique shop. The owner told us they were from an estate sale, recently restored and a good deal.

We had them a few weeks when I noticed that whatever they had used to stain/varnish the wood was destroying plastic-based items. Our little spray air freshener actually melted to the surface of the table and any book with a gloss/coated cover had started to turn yellow.

It was really frustrating. The only solution I could come up with (other than new shelves and table) was contact paper over every surface, and now THAT'S turning yellow, so I'm not sure how effective it is.

try to throw in some plants and flowers, it usually improves the room a lot.
and also, I've got the impression that real plants usually don't really collect dust, the downside being that you have to take care of them and water regularly, but on the positive side they give oxygen and shit
