I am moving from a crappy apt with a very big closet to one that might not have one or it will be very small- its not re-modeled yet so I don't have specifics. I own a lot of clothes both lolita and normal that need to be hung up and are pretty heavy. Got any recommendations for garment racks or the like?

Pretty sure that anon was just contributing to the thread and that is not their room, guys.

I love rooms like this in photographs, but clutter actually really stresses me out, and I have no idea how you keep it all looking nice rather than spilled randomly over the table/floor.
Not to mention my cat loves knocking things over.

[Anonymous No.7619364]

>>7619334
Yeah. I have a lot of rooms saved that are more for inspiration then anything. They're cute show rooms, but to cluttery in real life.

I'm planning to order these prints in the future to hang above the fireplace. The artist has the 11x17 version of them as one print, then a set of four larger individual prints.

Rotating would be such a hassle. It's hard enough just dusting weekly. I'm really quite fortunate to have the amount of space I do though. I have a nice big 20 sq ft room so plenty of shelf space if I ever need more.

Just painted the walls in grey, working on repainting the ceiling white, and getting new hardwood flooring sometime in the next 3-4 weeks.

My office is under the same construction but it's going to take longer to do since I'm doing it one room at a time by myself.

I squeezed everything to the center of the room and covered them in as many drop cloths as I could. I also used an air painter (spray painter? aerosal sprayer?) to get it done faster without excess paint getting every other place beyond my walls.

[Anonymous No.7620402]

Does anyone have a remedy for a dimly lit room? I have relatively small windows in comparison to my room so I only get good lighting on sunny days/not winter. The overhead lighting is a singular hanging light with a shade but it's dim, and I have high ceilings. I have lamps around the place but they don't add much... I'm wanting to make the place lighter rather than creating an atmosphere if that makes sense.

Switch the bulbs your using! They're probably low wattage, dim yellow ones. Go poke around a hardware store and find a lighting that you like and some lamps that can support it.

i had my last bed (a twin, i now have a full) against the wall, it was very difficult to put sheets on it besides me already being terrible at making the bed! im not sure if i could move everything now though, i was so determined to have my bed facing out and having a nightstand actually by my head. i almost got a daybed (which probably would have been a better option) instead of that one. i chose this particular set because i wanted white furniture and this was the only one that came with a desk/vanity.

Any chance you could have a nook to yourself? We've got a guest room in our place that I've turned into my Lolita and Sewing Sanctuary. It's not decorated super frilly, but it's where I keep all of my girlier stuff (mostly because our own cat would knock shit over if left out) and I'm planning on painting it and hanging a couple of paintings and postcards next month.

which kind of lights would you recommend anon? i see a ton on amazon but most are "warm"/yellow, and i want cooler lights, i hate warm ones. (meanwhile my room has warm bulbs because the cool looking ones are more expensive)

[Anonymous No.7622376]

>>7620402
I have the opposite problem. I have intense photophobia, so I try to keep the lighting as soft and dim as possible (I use low-watt energy saving bulbs with a paper lampshade that dims the light even further), but I have a huge window and it faces in such a way that I get tons of sunlight, especially in the mornings. I have UV blocking curtains that I never open to compensate.

[Anonymous No.7622378]

>>7622329
Not sure if you quoted the wrong person, but you mentioned the Evil Live bag so I am assuming you're talking about the one on the mannequin.

It's not terribly bulky and it fits a ton of stuff. The construction is pretty sturdy so it's a tiny bit pricey but I'd take the leap of faith again for another color.

>>7622070
The kitty plush is a Tentakitty! I got mine at a con, but they've apparently hit Thinkgeek now.

Also, you know, I lived with the frames up overnight. They actually don't look bad. The wood is beautiful, the same color as the hardwood floor. I think I'll just move the other prints somewhere else. I like having a lot of art on the walls. Gives it sort of the boudoir look.

Also, people speaking of small rooms, mine is something like 10x14, and it's carved in a funky way. The bed takes up easily half the room. The way I dealt with it is that I just determined to myself absolutely nothing goes in that isn't A)cute and B)practical. So things like the storage cubes, cute furniture, etc.

I thrifted/hunted for furniture for probably five years before I moved out, while I was still in High School and college, and only bought things I loved, or had really great shapes I could repaint. The most expensive item was the bed, and it was still $200 on craigslist. Most of my furniture was under $50, and some of my favorite finds were under $20. Stalk peddler's malls and vintage/thrift stores. (Antique stores usually overcharge.) and Craigslist.

Currently we're moving to a new flat and there's only one bedroom + one livingroom (plus kitchen, bathroom etc). My bedroom is rather small but I'll try to get a neat bed with hanging drapes. I convinced bf to add little touch of lavender + other color on the living room wall instead of just white so it won't be girly but not too bland. (pic sorta related, it inspired me)

I don't want kids though so I know when I'll build a house, I'll definitely get a work related room and a big dressing.

>>7622674
I'm not sure what sort of style you want, so I'll offer general advice.
Get a big rug in a lighter, neutral colour to cover the floor and add some warmth/comfiness to the room.
Invest in posters, tapestries, etc. to add colour and hide the bare walls. That brick wall is going to be a bitch to work with, especially if you want to go for a cuter, pastel room. You might be able to cover it with a full-wall curtain sort of thing that separates in the middle, but it might be difficult if there is any pipework around there.
I would add fairy lights to both improve and soften the lighting since it seems rather dim and yellow.

[Anonymous No.7622716]

>>7622699
-con-
Now that I can see the other side, switch out the curtains covering the closet thing if possible.
I really hate that type/colour of wood and had to deal with it in my own dorm a couple of years ago. I dealt with it by getting this white, stick-on covering that I could just peel off when I moved out, but you have a lot more woodwork to deal with than I did.

[Anonymous No.7622840]

I don't think I can express how deeply sorry I am about the state of my room, but I don't have anywhere to store half my shit.

I'm going to try and get an open wardrobe because my current one can't store even 1/5 of my clothes and is almost bursting open, an entertainment centre for my consoles, display cases for my merch, and get rid of the bit of desk under the window. I'm also thinking of corner shelves and such, or potentially building a platform desk type thing to put my double bed under as my house is victorian so I have ridiculously high ceilings.

does anyone have any other ideas (except to tidy up)?

[Anonymous No.7622848]

>>7622840

Dang Anon as messy as your room is, the bed looks hella comfy and convenient to all the things nearby.

My room isn't any better in terms organization but I am tidying up today and some advice I have is to invest in some plastic boxes for storage and little cheaper boxes for stuff that you can organize together. (Like little dolls, or pills & sprays (I have allergy meds and spray my room with scents) and other little things.) Shelves sound great, if it's gonna be like a bookshelf, make sure that it doesn't make dents or scratches on the floor. My bed is super heavy so I put little foam pads on the corner bottom edges.

[Anonymous No.7622859]

>>7622840
jelly of that fireplace in your room, anon. Even if it doesn't work, it's still a cool piece to the room.

1. Get some nice frames for your posters--they don't have to be expensive, but right now they're tacked onto the walls pretty poorly.

2. Beds on the floor can be really cool! But I'd suggest moving it somewhere else--it looks like there's a lot of dead storage space in your desk thing.

3. Get a new pillow. That one on the bottom looks gross.

4. Really, if you worked with the victorian theme of the house it'd look really cool. You could use modern, victorian-inspired pieces instead of true vintage/victorian looking pieces so that your more modern stuff (the figs, stuffed animals, computer, wii) don't look out of place.

Hope that helps! If you have a budget in mind I might be able to help you find some cute pieces to alleviate your space issues.

I like my fireplace too - original victorian, tiles and all. the previous owners boarded over it. I'm looking at some frames to match my floor for my posters and any future ones.
my bed is on wheels so i can get to that storage under my monitor really easily, and the other chest of drawers is full of stuff I don't use often.
the pillows are not for head sleeping on. I have a special memory foam one for that, but for propping up injured limbs, those ones work fine. (they're usually covered up or in pillowcases too, but theyre in the wash rn)

>>7622848
yeah, my bed used to be where that little nook is by the posters, but I moved it so i could access my electronics easier. if i get shelves, they'd be in the walls instead of a full bookcase.

I can't actually do anything right now thanks to a nice hole in my roof tiles leading to a huge patch of gross water stained plaster in the top corner of my room by the window, but once i get that fixed, I'll definitely look into the things you guys suggested!

What about hacking some ikea pieces?
You could get some cube furniture and add in the clothing rail and then to personalise it you could cover the little cupboard doors with cute paper. Or get two really tall units and add the rail in between, then add hat boxes for extra storage on top.
You'd just have to make sure that the furniture is stable and that the clothing rod is strong enough for the job.

If you do cosplay I strongly recommend getting some wheelie storage drawers. I honestly feel 10 times more productive when I know that everything is (sort of) stored in the one place and I can move it around my house.

My mirror was actually just Forever 21! It came in a bunch of colors, though. and the duvet cover was actually Pottery Barn Kids. I loved it to pieces and stalked the store till it went on sale. the Mermaid pillows are PBK too.

What kind of animals? What color metal is the cage? You can always work the metal in somehow. If they're a fuzzy like a ferret or a sugar-glider that has hammocks and toys, you can make them out of color-coordinated fleece very easily.

Does anyone else have the problem where their cat for some reason loves their lolita?

I thought carpets were more difficult to clean. I mean... Bugs can live in them. And unless you have an amazing vacuum they just never clean up 100%. Unless you get the super flat kind of carpet like office buildings have. I just think tile and polyurethaned wood is easier to keep clean because you can quickly sweep as opposed to lugging around a vacuum that may not make enough of a difference.

But I am biased. My mother has wall to wall carpet and it is so disgusting and ill maintained. They bother my asthma and I get bug bites when I sit on it. So... this was a rant post. I am sorry. Saging it.

I'm having a similar issue here and it's affecting my figure collection so I researched and will try several things at once:
- look for Solar Heat Control Film (or something simmilar). You basically apply this to your window and it reduces the heat passing through it by ~60-80% depending on the stuff used. It's not expensive and relatively easy to apply yourself. You can invest in either mirror (one sided) one, or fully transparent one depending on your tastes. This worked rather well at my studio - reduced the inside temp from 34'C to 27'C when the space was fully in the sun with external temps around 27'C
- Installing AC. Possibly easy for the US people, as it's relatively cheap and common to do so. In my case (eurofagia), and living in a flat in the actual downtown, I need to buy an AC standalone unit and somehow make room in the window for the heat exhaust pipe. It's the thing in >>7620326, on the first top frame in the right upper corner.

Well, that were the biger cannons that should hopefully eliminate the issue fully. I've dealt with the heat in minor ways as well, that helped to some extent:
- full window rollets (white), that reflected the light back. Helped a lot when used throughout the day, yet I missed the daylight after some time.
- ventilation (fan, plus I've discovered ways of forcing the airflow through the house by drafts)

Hope that helps.

Apart from dress forms, what kind of device would you use to display the clothes you love? I'm really into school uniforms and would love to somehow imbed them into the room, but lack ideas on how to, without damaging them due to exposure to the elements.

I was thinking of pressing them into glass frames on the wall (it's like an open box with ~10-15cm depth and picture frame with glass framing at front as a cover), but that would need to be custom made and expensive as hell. Then the dress form idea came, yet it would mean to expose them to dust and sunlight, so it's unacceptable as it would affect their quality.

Halp?

Question : i'm moving out soon and can't decide between a shabby chic style room or uguu kawaii style which do you prefer?

[Anonymous No.7626374]

I say think about 10~20 years from now. Buy things that will last in the long run.

[Anonymous No.7626424]

>>7626321
I prefer the uguu kawaii style. But then again I'm quite young and don't need to worry about moving out of my parents house just yet.
I'd say go for a more mature shabby chic style room with cute, neat elements that tie it all neatly together rather than letting a desu desu bomb off in your room if you have an apartment / house.
But it's your decision, so choose whatever makes you feel the happiest.

[Anonymous No.7626439]

>>7626321
Like others, I'd say shabby chic. My aunt always told me something along the lines of: have a place that you wouldn't mind showing someone you're bringing home for a one night stand. Kind of a weird criteria, but if you want to have a partner and spend time in your place, you probably don't want dolls and plush staring at you while you're fucking. This might just be a weird thing on my part, though...

Who says shabby chic can't be a little kawaii, anyways? Pic related is just form a google image search of shabby chic and it looks very lolita, too.

I basically chose my linens, curtain and furniture based on the Shabby Chic style, which, while sweet, doesn't read as immature. Then I have the Kawaii UGUU in accessories, plushes, etc, some of the framed art, so that when I move and decide I'd rather lose the Kawaii shit, I don't have to start from scratch.

Weird question but how does it feel to live with your bf and their sibling? Do they just do their own thing and is there enough space?

I'm just curious because my sister and her husband are building a house that's going to have three bedrooms and a basement they're intending to finish. She mentioned that I could move in with them for a while but I don't want to feel intrusive or like a third wheel to them, especially because I'm also a figurine/manga collector and don't want to weird them out with my stuff.

Maybe find out their hobbies and see if they collect anything. I've noticed that a lot of people seem to collect at least one type of thing. My mom collects dragons, my dad has a hot wheels collection, and even my sister-in-law collects barbies.

Maybe just keep only a smaller part of your collection out and keep the rest stored away. A friend of mine didn't have a lot of display space, so he did seasonal themes, like the swimsuit figures in summer, school uniforms in fall, etc...

Store your stuff away in boxes or drawers! Makeup and brushes left out in the open can collect dust, bacteria, and other gunky things which will in turn give you blemishes or alter the effectiveness of the makeup.
You can find some really nice clear plastic drawers on eBay like pic related so you can easily see what is where. Just remember to keep them out of the sunlight as well, because the UV and heat alters the effectiveness / chemical structure of makeup and skincare products!

IKTF, my older sister moved out years ago and wanted me to turn her bedroom into a study that I could use for college and our parents could put their computer in. Instead my mother uses it as her bedroom and it's filled with holiday knickknacks, unused photo boxes and old junk from my sister that she's saved. She also has a ton of stuff from us in the basement like work folders from Sunday school classes...? I want to go down there and throw it all out one day, I already garbaged a bunch of junk from our bathroom and she made no complaint about it.

What also sucks is that my bedroom is almost closet-sized so there's only so much I can own at a time (constantly have to resell books and figurines) and my parents throw their junk around everywhere.

I can't believe I am not alone. Actually, I can't believe there are several of us children of hoarders in one topic alone. We have a two family house (meaning we essentially occupy two complete apartments) and every room is overflowing with my mother's junk. The only room that is clear of her stuff is my room, though I had to fight to keep her out. She wanted to use my closet and the space under my bed but I managed to find somewhere else to drop her junk. My poor sister's closet is still occupied by her things. And the worst part. We can't throw out our own belongings. My mom will pick them out of the garbage again and add them to her hoard.

Add me to that list anon, my mum's a hoarder too. I no longer live at home, which i'm grateful for because living with her was an absolute nightmare. She constantly tried to pile her shit in my room, and when I refused she'd pull the 'you don't love me' card or threaten to throw me out. I gave up in the end, as i'm a uni student and the option is there to live on campus, which I am now. Last time I went home, my room was quickly becoming a home for old newspapers, toilet rolls, envelopes, boxes etc.

What got me though was that she was quite happy to throw my shit away. I came home from a study placement to find my entire Doctor Who (old era, new one's shit imho) collection donated to charity because 'i'm too old for that now'. She also donated childhood books and toys I wanted to keep, yet she's got toys and books from when she was a kid and has a strong emotional attachment to them. If I chucked them out, she'd kill me.

I've tried to get her help, but the problem is that she refuses to accept she has a problem. It's so fucking frustrating.
